Please also observe the relevant national industrial safety regulations. Non-observance of the safety instructions can lead to an electric shock, burns and/or severe injuries. This manual should be kept for later use and enclosed with the magnetic drilling machine, should it be passed on or sold.

Work area

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas increase the change of accidents;
2. Do not operate a magnetic drilling machine in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. A magnetic drilling machine may create sparks which could ignite the dust or fumes;
3. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a magnetic drilling machine. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

1. A magnetic drilling machine plug must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not us any adapter plugs;
2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded;
3. Do not expose the magnetic drilling machine to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a machine will increase the risk of electric shock;
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the magnetic drilling machine or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock;
5. When operating a magnetic drilling machine, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use, this reduces the risk of electric shock;
6. If operating a magnetic drilling machine in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD), this reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when using a magnetic drilling machine. Do not use the machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating a magnetic drilling machine may result in serious personal injury;
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts;
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the switch is off before plugging the machine in. Carrying a magnetic drilling machine with your finger on the switch or plugging in a magnetic drilling machine that has the switch on increases the change of accidents;
4. Never place hands, fingers, gloves or clothing near drilling area or rotating machine parts;
5. Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the machine on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury;
6. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the magnetic drilling machine in unexpected situations;
7. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat and hearing protection must be used for optimal safety;

Preparation & adjustment

Assembly

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn machine off and disconnect from the power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set- ups or when making repairs. Be sure all switches are in the OFF position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

Fitting the feed handles

1. Fit each of the three feed handles by screwing them into the hub in a clockwise direction;
2. Tighten firmly by hand.

The handles are supposed to face slightly outward. Be careful not to cross- thread any of the components.

Fitting the side handle (optional)
To simplify the repositioning of the machine on the workpiece, with the spring ball function at the backend of the magnet or otherwise, fit the side handle to the machine by screwing it into the appropriate side hole of the motor unit.

[image 3-1 | Side handle position]

Mounting the safety guard
The safety guard protects against chippings and accidental contact and must always be mounted before operation:

1. Hold the guard in front of the magnet, align the slots in the guard with the holes in the magnet;
2. Fit the screws into the holes located in the side of the magnet.
   WARNING: Always use the safety guard.

Fitting the lubrication system
The lubrication system can only be used for horizontal drilling (the drill being used vertically).

1. Hang the tank on the tank holder;
2. Position and tighten the attachment pin;
3. Connect the hose to the fitting on the gearbox. Make sure the hose is connected fully and tightly;
4. To disconnect the hose, press the blue ring on the connection and gently pull out the hose.

In order to use the lubrication system, it must be filled with a sufficient amount of cutting fluid.

1. Make sure the flow regulator is closed;
2. Unscrew the cap;
3. Fill the container with cutting fluid;
4. Screw the cap back on.

WARNING: Do not use the lubrication system in vertical or overhead drilling applications. Instead use EUROBOOR cutting paste or spray.

Fitting the safety chain

1. Pass the safety chain through the frame grip opening;
2. Wrap the chain around the workpiece;
3. Securely close the chain using the lock.

WARNING: Always use the safety chain when drilling vertically and/or upside-down. The safety chain does not replace the magnetic force of the magnetic drilling machine: it is simply used to secure against falling in the event of a magnet malfunction.

Prior to use

• Please make sure that the contacting surface for the magnet is level, clean, and rust-free.
• Remove any varnish or primer. When working on materials that are not magnetizable, suitable fixation devices, obtainable as accessories from EUROBOOR, e.g. suction plate, vacuum plate or pipe-drilling machine must be used.
• When working on steel materials with a material thickness of less than 6 mm, the workpiece must be reinforced with an additional steel plate in order to guarantee the magnetic holding power.
• Check the machine for possible damage; Before using the machine, you must carefully check the protective components or slightly damaged components to ensure they are operating perfectly and as intended.
• Check that moving parts are in perfect working order, do not jam and check whether the parts are damaged. All parts must be correctly installed and fulfill all conditions necessary to ensure perfect operation of the machine.
• Damaged protective components must be repaired or replaced according to specifications by EUROBOOR or any authorized EUROBOOR dealer.
• DO NOT use under wet conditions or in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
• DO NOT let children come into contact with the machine. Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use this machine.

Electrical safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. Your EUROBOOR magnetic drilling machine is designed in class I (grounded) according to EN 61029-1. Earth wire is required. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially prepared cord available at EUROBOOR or your EUROBOOR dealer.

Extension cord
If an extension cord is required, use an approved 3-core cable suitable for the power input of this machine (see technical data):

• The minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm² (for 220V) or 14 AWG (Amperage Wire Gauge for 110V) for 7.5 m (± 25 ft)
• The minimum conductor size is 2.5 mm² (for 220V) or 12 AWG (Amperage Wire Gauge for 110V) for 15 m (± 50 ft).
• The minimum conductor size is 2.5 – 4 mm² (for 220V) or 10 AWG (Amperage Wire Gauge for 110V) for 30 m (± 100 ft).

WARNING: When using a reel, always unwind the cable completely!

Useful tips

• Try a few simple projects using scrap material until you develop a ‘’feel’’ for the magnetic drilling machine;
• Let the machine run in for a period of eight to ten hours before starting with big operations. Do not load the machine too much during this run-in period;
• Never use the machine with serious overload;
• Keep the machine clear from moisture at all times to protect the machine, yourself and others.

Using the machine

• WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn the machine off and disconnect the machine from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.

Control panel

The control panel on your magnetic drilling machine is designed for maximum ease of use and safety.

1. Magnet switch
2. Speed control knob
3. Fuse holder
4. Magnet LED indicator
5. Motor switch
6. L/R switch

Morse taper spindle

1. Make sure the inside of the output shaft and the Morse taper spindle are clean and free of grease;
2. Position the lubrication ring rotation limiter behind the bridge between the output shaft and the frame;
3. Firmly slide the Morse taper spindle into the output shaft by hand (A). Make sure the spindle is properly positioned. You should not be able to pull it out by hand;
4. To remove the Morse taper spindle:
   • Switch of the motor;
   • Rotate the mechanical gear switch to neutral (see paragraph 4.3 Gearbox);
   • Rotate the output shaft until the slots on the shaft align with the slots on the gearbox;
   • Gently tap the supplied drift into the slots to push the Morse taper arbor out.

Electromagnet
Make sure the magnetic drilling machine is placed on a smooth, clean, level, and solid surface without any objects or debris to guarantee maximum adhesion. The workpiece must at least be 6 mm (1/4″) thick for the magnet to stick and to drill safely. In case the workpiece is between 3 mm (1/8″) and 6 mm (1/4″), make sure to make a proper base to create a good magnetic field as shown below.

The electromagnet will work best on surfaces of at least 10 mm (3/8″) thickness. When the electromagnet is not able to create a good enough magnetic field, this may be caused by:

• Surface not being flat;
• The workpiece is not magnetizable (e.g. aluminum);
• The workpiece is coated or painted;
• The workpiece is not thick enough.

In this situation, the magnet indicator will light up red. Make sure to solve any of these matters before proceeding in any way and creating unsafe situations.

2-Way electromagnet
This machine is equipped with a 2-way magnet function. At half of the magnetic force (1,500 kg), the magnet sufficiently sticks to the surface to hold the machine in position while not in use. More importantly, it consumes less energy, generates less heat and as a consequence will last longer. Only with full magnetic force (3,000 kg) the machine can be used for drilling.

Using the 2-way magnet:

1. Place and position the machine on the workpiece;
2. To activate the magnet at half of the magnetic force, press the RED magnet switch. The magnet switch will be lit. The magnet LED indicator lights up GREEN when the generated magnetic force is sufficient to hold the machine in position while not drilling;
3. For full magnetic force, press the GREEN motor switch (see next paragraph);
4. To deactivate the magnet, first press the RED motor switch to return to half magnetic force and then press the RED magnet switch again.

WARNING: Do not use this machine when the LED indicator is RED. Magnets may not generate sufficient attachment force.

We want to point out that the above-mentioned precautions and indicators do not guarantee that the magnet will not be released from the material. EUROBOOR accepts no liability when it comes to the magnet indicator not functioning or functioning poorly. Make sure that the magnet attaches tightly to the work piece before turning on the motor unit of the magnetic drilling machine. EUROBOOR magnets have two coils; make sure that both coils are in contact with the material. Do not connect any other machine to the same electrical outlet to which the magnetic drilling machine is plugged into, as it may result in the loss of magnetic force.

Swivel base (ECO.100S+/TD only)
With the magnet properly attached to the workpiece, the swivel base allows you to rotate the machine 30⁰ to left and right, and slide it 15-20 mm forward and backward, relative to the magnet, for more precise positioning of the drill. To swivel the machine, loosen the screw below the frame handle with the provided 8 mm Allen key. Determine the preferred position and fix the screw before drilling. Always use the safety chain included. Drilling above your head is extremely dangerous and is not recommended. For the use of magnetic drilling machines on pipes, not-flat or non-magnetic materials, we refer to our catalog or our website www.euroboor.com where several vacuum tightening systems, pipe clamping systems and Tube machines can be found.

Four-speed manual gearbox
This machine is equipped with a 4-speed gearbox. Gear switches on both sides make it possible to select 4 different speeds manually. Select the closest gear and speed for the intended operation.

1. To select the correct gear from neutral (horizontal) position:
   • Rotate the switch counterclockwise to position o;
   • Rotate the switch clockwise to position oo.
2. A gear is only correctly selected when the gearbox switches are both aligned with the indicators on the gearbox: In case you have trouble fully and correctly selecting a gear, the gears in the gearbox might be misaligned. Slightly rotating the output shaft by hand will help you to align the gears and correctly and fully select the intended gear;
3. Speed selection for annular cutters (also see plate on the gearbox):

Switching motor on and off
The motor unit can only be switched ON when the magnet is activated. To switch the motor ON, press the green button with marking “I”. To switch the motor OFF, press the red button with marking “O”.

Motor rotation
The rotational direction of the motor can be changed:

• Switch in up position (R) will make the motor rotate clockwise;
• Switch in the down position (L) will make the motor rotate counterclockwise;
• SSwitchingin the middle position will not make the motor rotate (neutral position).

Before switching the rotational direction of the motor and spindle, make sure the motor is switched OFF first, to prevent machine and tool damage.

Motor speed control
The speed control knob (potentiometer) allows you to electronically control the speed of the motor (in both clockwise and counter-clockwise direction):

• The indicator of the potentiometer in the bottom left corner is minimum speed;
  The indicator of the potentiometer in the bottom right corner is maximum speed; The electronic motor speed control works for both mechanical gears. Be careful not to overturn the knob.

Torque control
Built-in electronic torque control will automatically stop the motor in case of overload. Adjust the torque by turning the red rotary knob at the backside of the motor unit into the “–“ direction. Then push the red motor switch with an “O” marking to reset the motor, and the green motor switch with an “I” marking to start drilling again.

GYRO-TEC safety
This EUROBOOR magnetic drilling machine is equipped with GYRO-TEC safety functionality. It features a gyroscopic sensor which detects acceleration and displacement in any direction. Whenever the machine recognises a sudden or unwanted movement the motor will be shut down automatically by the machine’s electronics. This safety functionality offers protection to the user in various circumstances, such as:

• Sudden loss of magnetic force while in operation;
• Excessive vibration caused by incorrect drilling procedure, worn-out cutting tools, etc;
• Sudden displacement of the workpiece to which the magnetic drilling machine is attached.

By the motor shutting down automatically, the risk of damaging or hurting the machine, tools, workpiece, and operator is reduced. Every time the motor is started, the machines electronics need a moment to run a systems check and initiate the safety system. The GYRO-TEC safety feature engages three seconds after the motor is started. It is very important to note that this functionality raises the safety level, but does not prevent the operator from using the machine incorrectly. The operator should always follow the instructions described in this manual and take all necessary safety precautions.

Power protection
The power protection feature is two-fold; it consists of both power fluctuation protection and power surge protection. Special safety components built into the electronics of the machine make it more reliable in situations where the power supply can be of varying quality due to the factors:

• Around the workplace, for example, caused by switching on high power or unreliable electrical devices, a broken circuit breaker, or faulty wiring;
• Outside the workplace, for example, caused by an unstable power grid or lightning.

A machine with this feature can cope with standard rated voltage and frequency fluctuations ranging from:

• 110 Volt to 130 Volt and 45 Hz to 65 Hz, or
• 220 Volt to 240 Volt and 45 Hz to 65 Hz reducing the probability of breakdown and minimising down-time and repair cost.

Power fluctuation protection
When the frequency is too high (above 65 Hz) or too low (below 45 Hz), the motor will not start. If the frequency of the power supply falls outside the range during your drilling job, the motor will shut off automatically. The machine will work again normally when the normal frequency has been restored.

Power surge protection
Beyond the rated voltage, a machine with this feature can cope with voltage spikes up to 4,000 Volt (1-2μs)*. Depending on the height of the spike, it may be necessary to replace built-in fuses, the control unit, or the power switch, but other valuable parts like the motor and magnet will be protected.

Disclaimer: Euroboor is not liable for any damage caused to the machine due to electrical problems in the workplace. Above mentioned protection is not guaranteed in all cases of voltage spikes and/or frequency fluctuations. Euroboor accepts no liability when it comes to the power protection not functioning or functioning poorly. In the situation of the motor being shut off automatically as self-protection, you should:

• Shut off the magnet;
• Disconnect the machine from the power source;
• Fix the source of the problem, by either:
  • Making sure the issues with the power source are fixed;
  • Connect the machine to a different and reliable power source;
• Continue using the machine as described in this user manual.

Overheat protection
This machine is supplied with an all-time electronic overheat protection. If the temperature of the motor unit runs up to 100-105 °C (212-221 °F) the motor unit will stop. After a few minutes, it can be started again. When it is possible to start the motor again, let the motor run idle at full speed for a couple of minutes to let the motor cool down more in an efficient way.

Carbon Brushes
This machine is equipped with carbon brushes with two protection features. The purpose of both features is to schedule timely service and avoid additional costs by unexpected downtime or unnecessary part replacement.

Carbon brush wear indicator
On top of the motor housing, you will find an integrated LED light. Under normal circumstances, this light is off. The LED light will start burning red when the carbon brushes are worn to a level where it is advised to replace them. The actual remaining operating time depends on the use of the machine but can be up to 12 operating hours. This makes it possible to schedule the service of the machine and avoid unexpected downtime.

Automatic shut-off
As additional protection, when the carbon brushes are worn to a level where replacement is needed, the motor will shut off automatically. This prevents the armature from being damaged. During automatic shut-off, the carbon brush wear indicator is not lit. It is critical to replace both carbon brushes in the motor unit simultaneously. Otherwise, the LED warning function may be affected, and damage the motor in the end. For the replacement of carbon brushes, see Chapter 6. Maintenance.

Tool lubrication

Horizontal applications
To use the lubrication system, the tank must be filled with a cutting lubricant.

1. 1. Make sure the flow regulator is closed;
2. Unscrew the cap;
3. Fill the container with cutting lubricant;
4. Screw the cap back on.
   • Adjust the fluid flow as required using the flow regulator;
   • Add more cutting lubricant when the shavings (metal chips) become blue.

Vertical and overhead applications
Dip the cutter in cutting paste or apply an appropriate spray.

WARNING: Do not use the lubrication system in vertical or overhead drilling applications. Instead use EUROBOOR cutting paste or spray. Make sure to use only suitable cutting lubricants. EUROBOOR offers a wide range of cutting lubricants for all tool and material combinations. Proper lubrication will help you create better and faster results, and extend the lifetime of your tools.

Working with drilling accessories

Annular cutters
Annular cutters only cut material at the periphery of the hole, rather than converting the entire hole to shavings. As a result, the energy required to make a hole is lower than for a twist drill. When drilling with an annular cutter, it is not necessary to drill a pilot hole.

WARNING: Do not touch the cutter or the parts close to the cutter immediately after the operation, as they may be extremely hot and cause burns to the skin. Ensure nobody is in the work area where the metal core (slug) is ejected.

Drilling conditions
The ease with which material can be drilled depends on several factors including tensile strength and abrasion resistance. Whilst hardness and/or strength is the usual criterion, wide variations in machinability can exist among materials showing similar physical properties. The drilling conditions are dependent on requirements for tool life and surface finish. These conditions are further restricted by the rigidity of the tool and the workpiece, lubrication, and machine power available. The harder the material, the lower the cutting speed. Some materials of low hardness contain abrasive substances leading to rapid cutting edge wear at high speeds. Feed rates are governed by rigidity of set-up, the volume of material to be removed, surface finish, and available machine power.

Drilling a hole
Now that you have read the information and safety recommendations above, you are ready to start drilling. Follow these 12 steps for the best drilling result:

1. Install the annular cutter:
   • Place the pilot pin into the cutter;
   • Align the flat faces on the cutter shank with the screws in the tool holder;
   • Make sure the cutter shank is entered fully and correctly;
   • Tighten the screws;
2. Precisely mark the center of the hole;
3. Use the pilot pin to position the machine in the correct position, with the tip of the pilot pin to meet the marked center of the hole;
4. Switch on the magnet and verify that the drill is in the right position and that the machine is pushed tight against the work piece;
5. Fill the holes of the spindle with oil;
6. Switch the motor on and allow it to run at the required speed;
7. Turn the feed handles to start drilling. Apply only a slight pressure when the annular cutter touches the metal. Do not push the annular cutter with force into the metal;
8. Apply a regular pressure while drilling. The drilling performance does not improve by putting more pressure on the machine. Too much pressure will overload the motor and your annular cutter will be worn sooner; A continuous, non-discoloured iron swarf is a sign of correct drilling speed and a well-cooled, sharp cutter. Let the cutter do the job and give it time to cut the metal!
9. Stop drilling regularly, refill the holes of the spindle and continue drilling;
10. Apply less pressure when the drill cuts through the material. The slug will be pushed out of the cutter by the pilot pin;
11. Turn the feed handles to put the motor in the highest position and switch off the motor unit;
12. Remove the burrs, metal chips and clean the cutter and surface without getting injuries.

WARNING: The slug is sharp and may be hot!

2. Make sure the direction of rotation is set at clockwise (right = R);
3. Drill the required hole and tap simultaneously;
4. Switch off the motor and set the direction of rotation to counterclockwise (left = L);
5. Switch on the motor again, and guide the motor unit upwards with the feed handles to allow the drill tap to come completely out of the workpiece.

Machine taps (DIN 371/376) with Weldon adapter

1. Drill the hole for the tap on the recommended size;
2. Switch off the motor and change the cutter or drill for the tap holder and the machine tap;
   • WARNING: Do not change the position of the machine!
3. Install the machine tap into the tap holder (EUROBOOR code TCM) and tighten the screws;
4. Fit the tap holder into a spindle with 19.05 mm (3/4″) or 31.75 mm (1 1/4″) Weldon connection (depending on tap size);
5. Select the lowest gear and speed and set the direction of rotation to clockwise (right = R);
6. Switch on the motor and set the machine tap onto the drilled hole;
7. Guide the motor unit down with the feed handle without exerting;
8. Switch off the motor and set the direction of rotation to counter clockwise (left = L);

   WARNING: Do not let your tap push up the motor unit by itself!

Make sure to properly lubricate while performing tapping work, see paragraph 5.1 Annular cutters.

Countersinks
Thanks to its wide range of operating speeds, the machine can also be used for reaming or counter-sinking. Follow the steps mention in paragraph 5.2 Twist drills.

Maintenance

Your EUROBOOR magnetic drilling machine has been designed to operate over a long period of time. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, turn the machine off and disconnect machine from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups or when making repairs. Be sure the switch is in the OFF position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

Just as every magnetic drilling machine with moving parts, your EUROBOOR magnetic drilling machine also needs regular maintenance service. A few recommendations follow :

Visually check the machine for damage
The machine must be checked before operating for any signs of damage that will affect the operation of the machine. Particular notice must be taken of the main cable, if the machine appears to be damaged it should not be used. Failure to do so may cause injury or death.

Cleaning

• Clean all dirt, dust, metal chips and burrs of your magnetic drilling machine;
• Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and an approved dust mask;
• Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

Operation of the machine
The machines operation must be checked to ensure that all components are working correctly. Replace any defective parts immediately. This prevents properly functioning parts from being damaged.

Check magnetic base
Before every operation the magnetic base should be checked to make sure that the base is flat and there is no damage present. An uneven magnet base will cause the magnet to hold not as efficiently and may cause injury to the operator. When the machine is put out of use for a longer period, apply a small amount of machine oil to the underside of the magnetic base for rust protection. Clean the magnetic base again with next use.

Check gearbox oil (IBO.G101)
The oil should be checked once a month to ensure all moving components are covered to prevent wear. The oil should be changed at least once a year to ensure you gain the best from the machine.

Carbon brush replacement
Schedule to replace the carbon brushes when the carbon brush LED indicator lights up. The remaining operating time depends on the use of the machine. When the carbon brushes are fully worn, the machine will shut-off automatically. Replace both carbon brushes at the same time.

WARNING: Replace both carbon brushes in the motor unit always simultaneously. Failing to do so may affect the LED warning function and lead to motor damage.

Check armature
This should be checked at least once a month to check if there are visual signs of damage to the body or to the commutator. Some signs of wear will be seen on the commutator over a period of time this is normal as this is the part that comes in contact with the brushes but any signs of abnormal damage means the part should be replaced.

Adjustment of slide
An essential requirement of the machine is that the slide can move in a smooth and controlled manner, free of lateral movement and vibration. This situation can be maintained by periodic adjustment of the slide and can be accomplished in the following manner:

1. Place the machine in an upright position and, by means of the capstan, raise the slide to its highest position. Clean the aluminum rails and apply a small amount of light machine oil to the wear surfaces;
2. Gently feed in the setting screw with supplied Allen key 2.5 until slight resistance is encountered. Follow your way down adjusting all setting nuts and screws;
3. Operate the slide up and down a few times to test the movement and make any further necessary adjustments. Try to ensure that all the screws are exerting a uniform pressure on the slide from top to bottom. A perfectly adjusted slide will operate freely up and down without any sideways movement.

Lubricating the feed travel
The feed travel should be lubricated periodically with grease to ensure smooth operation.

• Raise the motor unit to the highest position possible;
• Lubricate the dove-tail guideway at both sides;
• Lubricate the gear rack.

After repeated use, the gear rack may become loose. If necessary, adjust the five self-locking set screws at the left side. Tighten screws in series until the gear rack moves freely in the dove-tail guideway but does not allow the motor to wobble.

Repair, modification and inspection
Repair, modification and inspection of EUROBOOR Magnetic drilling machines must be done by EUROBOOR or a EUROBOOR authorised dealer. The spare parts list will be helpful if presented with the machine to the EUROBOOR dealer for service when requesting repair or other maintenance. EUROBOOR machines are constantly being improved and modified to incorporate the latest technological advancements. Accordingly, some parts (i.e. part numbers and/or design) may be changed without prior notice. Also, due to EUROBOOR’s continuing program of research and development, the specifications of machines are subject to change without prior notice.

WARNING: Since accessories, other than those offered by EUROBOOR, have not been tested with this machine, use of such accessories with this tool could be hazardous. To reduce the risk of injury, only EUROBOOR recommended accessories should be used with this machine. Consult your dealer for further information on the appropriate accessories.
