ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to check the following: Check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure that they are safe before using. Inspect power supply leads, plugs and all electrical connections for wear and damage. Sealey recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical products. You may obtain an RCD by contacting your local Sealey stockist.
If the product is used in the course of business duties, it must be maintained in a safe condition and routinely PAT (Portable Appliance Test) tested.

Electrical safety information, it is important that the following information is read and understood.

1. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply.

2. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure that they are secure.

3. Important: Ensure that the voltage rating on the appliance suits the power supply to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse – see fuse rating in these instructions.
   DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
   DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
   DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Ensure that any faulty item is repaired or is replaced immediately by a qualified electrician.

4. This product is fitted with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug.
   If the cable or plug is damaged during use, switch the electricity supply and remove from use.
   Ensure that repairs are carried out by a qualified electrician.
   Replace a damaged plug with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug. If in doubt contact a qualified electrician.
   a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.
   b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
   c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
   Ensure that the cable outer sheath extends inside the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
   Sealey recommend that repairs are carried out by a qualified electrician.

When a cable extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection A cable reel with an RCD fitted is recommended since any product which is plugged into the cable reel will be protected. The cross-section of the cable on the cable reel must be suitable for the unit and never lower than the cross-section of the mains cable supplied with the unit.

GENERAL SAFETY

• Enlist help to place the drill in its working position.
• DO NOT allow non-essential persons, children or animals into the working area. Establish a cordon below.
• DO NOT allow the use of this machine except by those who have received suitable training and have read these instructions.

• DO NOT operate whilst under the influence of drugs, alcohol or intoxicating medication, or if tired.

OPERATIONAL SAFETY

• ALWAYS attach the drill to the work by means of the nylon security strap and buckle, in case of an electrical supply failure releasing the electro-magnet.
• Ensure that the machine is electrically isolated before installing in its working position and switched off before connecting to supply.
• Ensure drill is switched off and isolated from mains supply before changing bit, or moving its position.
• Check that the drill and its electric lead is not damaged before use. DO NOT use if any damage is evident.
• Use non-original parts; use of such parts may be dangerous will affect the warranty.
• Ensure magnetic switch is in the off position before connecting to mains supply.
• Only use water as coolant NOT antifreeze.
• Keep drill dry.
• If it blows trip follow these steps: turn off power switch, wait for a few minutes, disconnect from mains.
• DO NOT force the drill by pulling down on the handle with excessive force.
• DO NOT use on non magnetic materials.
• DO NOT use on the same steel work as electric welders are being used.

ASSEMBLY

FIT COOLANT BOTTLE Refer to fig.1

1. Slacken the 2 thumbscrews and slide bottle cage over the thumbscrews. Tighten thumbscrews.

2. Connect coolant pipe to the valve on the drill head, fig.1.
   Pipe can be released by pushing in the blue valve.)

3. Make sure the coolant tap is closed, fill the bottle with appropriate lubricant.

FIT CUTTING BIT

1. Wind drill head up to maximum height.
2. Unwind the two grub screws, fig.2.6, in to secure the cutting bit.

OPERATION

Mark the position of the hole to be drilled on the workpiece

POSITION THE DRILL

Connect to the mains supply. Offer drill to workpiece and line up with the previously marked hole.
WARNING! Make sure there is nothing between the magnet and the workpiece BEFORE turning the magnet on.
NOTE: When using drill vertically use the level, fig.2.7

Ensure the drill head is wound back away from the workpiece before turning the magnet on.

ATTACH DRILL TO WORKPIECE

Turn the magnet on, fig.2.2. Wind the drill head down to the workpiece and align the cutting head pin.

FIT THE SAFETY STRAP

Place the safety strap though the handle of the drill and around the steelwork. Adjust the length of the strap so that if the drill should fall the drill should not be allowed to swing too far and be damaged.

FILL COOLANT BOTTLE

Always use the correct cutting oil, refer to Section 3 and refill once it empties. Never use without coolant.

CUTTING THE HOLE

Turn on the cooling tank tap, fig.1.
Back the cutting head away from the workpiece, turn the drill motor on, fig.2.1. Check the drill sounds and is operating normally.

1. Motor switch
2. Magnet switch
3. Handle
4. Fuse cover
5. Slide adjusters (5 each side)
6. Cutting bit grub screw (2 of)
7. Level
8. Fuse cover (2 of)

Turn the handle, fig.2.3, anticlockwise to move the cutting bit towards the workpiece.
Start feeding slowly, with not too much force, to prevent overloading the drill.
CAUTION! Prepare for bursting through the workpiece.
If the drill suddenly stops, you must turn off the motor switch immediately.
Once the hole has been cut, back the cutting head back out of the hole and switch off the motor.
Turn off the coolant tap.
Remove the debris from the cutting head.
Clean away swarf.
Undo the safety strap.
Support the weight of the drill and turn off the magnet. Remove the cutting bit and replace drill in its case.

ADJUSTING THE SLIDES Refer to fig.2.5

WARNING! Disconnect from mains supply before performing any adjustments.
To adjust the friction on the drill slide mechanism, remove the drill cutter.
Loosen the 5 slide locknuts and adjust the 2.5mm grub screws until the required amount of friction on the slides has been achieved.
Tighten the locknuts and test before using the drill.

REPLACING THE FUSE Refer to fig.2.4

Undo the fuse cover and replace fuse with one of same rating.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Disconnect from mains supply before performing any maintenance.

1. Remove the cut ‘plug’ from the cutter, each time it is used.
2. Keep the tool clean.
3. Store in a dry, childproof location in its case.
