MAKING A CUT

Note: The Cutting Head of S28MAG machine can be repositioned
and locked anywhere along the length of machines dovetail slide.
Repositioning may be necessary to accommodate the longer
overall length of the Cutting Head especially when fitted with a
three (3) jawed chuck and twist drill.

GENERAL GUIDANCE

Evolution Power Tools has no control over the way its machinery may
be used. The following is offered as general (but not exhaustive or
definitive) advice on the safe operation of MagDrill machines.
WARNING: Securely lock the Cutting Head onto the machines slide
BEFORE commencing cutting operations.
• Lock the Cutting Head onto the dovetail slide in the required
position. The locking lever is located on the left hand (LH) lower
gearbox casing. (Fig. 13)
• Correctly position the machine on the workpiece, with the
electromagnet energised and the safety chain/strap
securely in place.
• Check for sufficient coolant/lubricant flow at the cutter.
• Start the motor by operating the 'On/Off' rocker switch.
• Using the feed handles slowly lower the Cutting Head until the
cutter (or drill) makes contact with the workpiece.
• Continue to apply only sufficient gentle pressure to allow the
cutter to cut freely through the workpiece.
• Depending upon the thickness of the workpiece periodically
raise the cutter and clear any 'swarf' build up before to
continuing the cut.
WARNING: Only clear 'swarf' from a cut using a suitable tool (small
brush or similar) with the Cutting Head raised and the spindle,
cutter and motor completely stationary. Take all H&S precautions
that may be necessary.
WARNING: On completion of the cut the pilot pin should eject the
(waste) material 'slug'. This slug could be very hot with very sharp
edges. Employ all necessary H&S procedures to safely deal with
any ejected slug(s), and use protective gloves if the slug(s) require
handling.
If the slug fails to be ejected from the cutter, this could be caused
by the slug becoming 'twisted' inside the cutter. To release the
slug, lower the cutter onto a flat area of the workpiece. This will
'square-up' the slug and allow it to be ejected.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Any maintenance must be carried out with the machine
switched off and disconnected from the mains/battery power
supply.
Check that all safety features and guards are operating correctly on
a regular basis. Only use this machine if all guards/safety features
are fully operational.
