Safety instructions.
When performing drilling that requires the use of a fluid, route the fluid away from the operator's work area or use a fluid collection device. Such precautionary measures keep the operator's work area dry and reduce the risk of electrical shock.
Operate the power tool by the insulated grasping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
Wear hearing protection when drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
When the bit is jammed, stop applying downward pressure and turn off the tool. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of the bit jamming.
When restarting a drill in the workpiece, check that the bit rotates freely before starting. If the bit is jammed, it may not start, may overload the tool, or may cause the drill to release from the workpiece.
When securing the drill stand with anchors and fasteners to the workpiece, ensure that the anchoring used is capable of holding and restraining the machine during-guse. If the workpiece is weak or porous, the anchor may pull out causing the drill stand to release from the workpiece.
Ensure there is sufficient vacuum before and during drilling. If the vacuum is insufficient, the pad may release from the workpiece.
Never perform overhead and wall drilling with the machine secured by the vacuum plate only. If the vacuum is lost, the vacuum plate will release from the workpiece.
When drilling through walls or ceilings, ensure to protect persons and the work area on the other side. The bit may extend through the hole or the core may fall out on the other side.
Do not use this tool for overhead drilling with fluid supply. Fluids entering the power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Have the protective cable bushing replaced immediately when damaged. A defective protective cable bushing can lead to overheating of the machine.
Special safety instructions.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on the application, use a face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. Wear ear protection. The safety glasses must be capable of protecting against flying particles generated by the various different operations. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause loss of hearing.
Do not touch the sharp edges of the core drill bit. Danger of injury.
To avoid injuries, check the core drill bits prior to starting the work. Use only undamaged core drill bits that are not deformed. Damaged or deformed core drill bits can cause serious injury.
Before putting into operation: Mount the chip guard to the machine.
Always secure the machine with the supplied safety strap. Especially on inclined or uneven surfaces there is risk of unsecured machines tipping over.
When working overhead, beware of falling objects, such as cores or chips.
Inspect the safety strap each time before using for damage such as cracks, cuts, nicks and breakage in the webbing, strong signs of wear and/or corrosion of the end fittings and tensioning elements, as well as a missing or unreadable label. Replace the safety strap immediately in case of any defects.
When working overhead or on vertical surfaces, the coolant container must not be used. Use a coolant spray instead. Liquids penetrating your electric power tool may cause electric shock.
Avoid touching the drilled core that is automatically ejected by the centering pin when the working procedure is finished. Contact with the core when it is hot, or if it falls, can cause personal injuries.
Operate the power tool only from grounded sockets that comply with the specifications. Do not use any connection cables that are damaged; use extension cables with a grounding contact that are checked at regular intervals. A ground conductor without continuity can cause an electric shock.
To prevent injuries, always keep your hands, clothing, etc. away from rotating swarf. The swarf can cause injuries. Always use the chip guard.
Do not attempt to remove the cutting tool if it still turns. This can lead to serious injuries.
Beware of any concealed electric cables, gas or water conduits. Check the working area before commencing work, e.g. with a metal detector.
Do not work with materials containing magnesium.
Danger of fire.
Do not work with CFRP (carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer) and materials containing asbestos. These materials are considered carcinogenic.
Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or signs onto the power tool. If the insulation is damaged, protection against an electric shock will be ineffective.
Do not overload the power tool or the storage case and do not use it as a ladder or stand. Overloading or standing on the power tool or the storage case can lead to the upward shifting of the centre of gravity of the power tool or the storage case, and its tipping over.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the power tool manufacturer. Safe operation is not ensured merely because an accessory fits your power tool.
Clean the ventilation openings on the power tool at regular intervals using non-metal tools. The blower of the motor draws dust into the housing. An excessive accumulation of metallic dust can cause an electrical hazard.
Before storage: Remove the application tool.
Store the power tool only in the case or packaging.
Before putting into operation, check the mains connection and the mains plug for damage.
Always operate the power tool with together with a PRCD personal protection switch (*). Before beginning to work, always check the proper functioning of the PRCD personal protection switch (*) (see page 27).
Vibration and noise emission values
The vibration and noise emission values given in these instructions have been measured according to a measurement method standardised in EN 62841 and can be used to compare power tools with each other. They are also suitable for a preliminary assessment of vibration and noise exposure.
The given vibration and noise emission values represent the main applications of the power tool. However, if the power tool is used for other applications, with deviating application tools or insufficient maintenance, the overall vibration values and the noise emission values may differ. This can significantly increase the vibration and noise exposure over the total working period.
For an accurate estimation of vibration and noise exposure, the durations when the equipment is switched off or running but not actually in use should also be taken into account. This may significantly reduce the vibration and noise exposure over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and noise such as: Maintain the power tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.
Operating Instructions.
Only use water-soluble cutting fluids (oil in water) as the cooling agent.
Observe the manufacturer's instructions on coolant.
Pay attention that the set-up surface for the magnetic foot is flat, clean, rust-free and ice-free. Remove varnish, putty/filler layers and other materials. Prevent an air gap between the magnetic foot and the set-up surface. The air gap reduces the magnetic holding power. Do not operate this machine on hot surfaces; it could lead to a permanent reduction of the magnetic holding power.
Drilling process
-
Position the machine on the set-up surface.
-
Switch the magnet on.
-
Secure the machine with a safety strap.
-
Start the drilling operation.
If the machine is placed on the set-up surface with the magnet already switched on, an error is recognised and the motor cannot be started. In this case, the machine must be disconnected from the power supply.
Procedure for jammed application tools
-
Switch the machine off.
-
Disconnect the machine from power supply.
-
Remove chips/swarf with the chip hook.
-
Allow the application tool to cool down.
-
Loosen and remove the jammed application tool using e.g. suitable pliers.
Only undamaged application tools may be used for further operation.
When working, always use the magnetic foot; pay attention that the magnetic holding power is sufficient:
- When the green button on the control panel lights up permanently, the magnetic holding power may be sufficient and the machine can be operated with normal feed.
- When the Magnet button on the control panel flashes, the magnetic holding power possibly is insufficient and the machine must be operated with reduced feed.
When working non-magnetic materials, suitable FEIN fastening devices, such as vacuum plates or pipe drilling devices, which are available as accessories, must be used. Observe the corresponding operating instructions for these.
When working on steel materials with a material thickness of less than 12 mm, the workpiece must be reinforced with an additional steel plate in order to guarantee the magnetic holding power.
The magnetic foot is monitored by means of a power sensor. If the magnetic foot is defective, the motor will not start.
In case of overload, the motor automatically stops and must be restarted again.
Work only with the absolutely required amount of feed. Excessive feed can lead to breakage of the application tool and loss of the magnetic holding power.
When the power supply is disconnected while the motor is running, a protective circuit prevents automatic restarting of the motor. Restart the motor again.
The last set speed is automatically stored (memory function). To start the power tool with the last set speed, press and hold the button with the symbol, and then press the button with the symbol.
Do not stop the drill motor during the drilling procedure.
Only remove the core bit from the drilled hole while the motor is running.
If the core bit should remain stuck in the material, stop the drill motor and carefully turn the core bit out counter-clockwise.
Remove the chips and the drilled core after each drilling process.
Do not touch the chips with your bare hands. Always use a chip hook (6 42 98 160 40 0).
Danger of burning! The surface of the magnet can reach high temperatures. Do not touch the magnet with your bare hands.
When changing a drill bit, pay attention not to damage the cutting edges.
When core drilling layered material, remove the core and the chippings after drilling each layer.
When readjusting the drill spindle for tapping, use only the supplied T-handle spanner or Allen key.
Do not use the magnetic core drill unit when the cooling-lubricant system is defective. Each time before operating, check for tightness against leaks and for cracks in the hoses. Prevent liquids from entering or penetrating electrical components.
