ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power
source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making
repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Installing the Machine (Fig. 1, 4)
1. Assemble the feed handle.
2. Fit the lubrication system as necessary.
3. Place the machine on a clean, level and solid surface. Remove any particles that will
obstruct full contact between the magnetic base (O) and the mounting surface.
4. Fit and tighten the safety chain (I).
Assembling the Feed Handle (Fig. 1, 2)
The quick-release feed handle (F) can be mounted in one simple operation both to the left and
the right of the machine.
1. Screw the handles (F) into the hub (G). Ensure handles are secure.
2. Keep the button (P) depressed while inserting the hub shaft into the hole (Q).
3. Release the button.
Lubrication System (Fig. 1, 3)
FILLING THE COOLANT BOTTLE
WARNING: Do not pour cutting fluid into the bottle while mounted in the bracket. Do
not allow cutting fluid to enter the drill motor. Electric shock may result.
NOTE: The lubrication system is designed for dispensing cutting fluids specifically intended for
drilling. Other liquids may damage the system.
1. Turn the the flow regulator (M) counterclockwise to close.
2. Remove coolant bottle (J) from magnetic bracket (E).
3. Unscrew the cap (T).
4. Fill the container with cutting coolant diluted with water.
5. Screw the cap back on.
6. Place coolant bottle into magnetic bracket (E).
FITTING THE LUBRICATION SYSTEM (FIG. 1, 3)
WARNING: Do not use the lubrication system in vertical surfaces or overhead drilling
applications.
Only use the lubrication system for horizontal drilling applications, as shown in Figure 1.
1. Place coolant bottle (J) into the magnetic bracket (E), slide the magnetic bracket onto the
either side of the steel strip (R).
2. Attach the coolant tube (K) to the coolant bottle:
a. Remove the nut (S) and thread it onto the tube (K).
b. Slide the tube onto the nipple and tighten the nut (S).
3. Attach the tube to the quick-release connector (L) on the gearbox.
a. Push the coolant tube (K) in to install.
b. To remove, push the collar on the connector (L) in and pull the tube from the connector.
In order to use the lubrication system, the coolant bottle (J) must be filled with a sufficient
amount of cutting fluid.
LUBRICATION IN HORIZONTAL APPLICATIONS (FIG. 3)
1. Adjust the fluid flow as required using the flow regulator (M).
2. Add more cutting fluid if the shavings become blue.
LUBRICATION IN VERTICAL AND OVERHEAD APPLICATIONS
Dip the cutter in cutting paste or apply an appropriate spray.
Fitting the Safety Chain (Fig. 4)
WARNING: Always use the safety chain.
Feed the provided safety chain (I) through the handle of unit and around the workpiece and
secure in place.
Inserting and Removing an Accessory (Fig. 5, 6)
The tool holder accepts annular cutters with a 3/4" shank with two flats.
CAUTION: Laceration hazard. The cutter teeth are sharp.
1. Slide the pilot pin (W) through the hole in the center of the cutter shank.
2. Push up on the quick-release collar (U).
3. Insert the cutter (V) with pilot pin (W) and turn until the flat meets the locking pin. When the
flat meets the locking pin the collar will snap down.
4. Check that the cutter is securely held in the arbor.
5. Lift the collar to release the cutter.
3-JAW CHUCK (FIG. 6)
A 3-jaw chuck (X) can be installed using an adaptor (Y) to fit the drill press for various bit sizes.
Refer to Inserting and Removing an Accessory for installation instructions.
NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust the motor position when chuck is installed. Please refer to
Adjusting the Motor Height for instructions.
Refer to the Accessories section for further information on appropriate accessories.
Setting the Speed (Fig. 7)
CAUTION: Do not change speeds while motor is running.
The machine is equipped with a two-gear selector to vary the speed/torque ratio.
1. Rotate the gear selector tab (D) out of the detent slot and shift into the desired mode.
2. Lock the selector tab back into the detent.
LOW SPEED AND HIGH TORQUE: The yellow dot (Z) should be aligned with position 1
for low speed and high torque (holes from 32 to 50 mm).
HIGH SPEED AND LOW TORQUE: The yellow dot (Z) should be aligned with position 2,
for high speed and low torque (holes from 12 to 30 mm).
NOTE : It may be necessary to slightly turn the spindle by hand a little to complete the gear
change.
Adjusting the Motor Height (Fig. 8)
The motor height can be adjusted to accommodate the need for more or less bit clearance over
the workpiece.
1. Loosen the motor slide bolt (AA) with the supplied hex key tool (BB).
2. Position the motor to the desired height.
3. Tighten the bolt firmly with the hex tool to secure the motor in position.
OPERATION
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power
source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making
repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool. Excessive force does not speed up drilling but
decreases tool performance and may shorten tool life.
• It the accessory jams, stop the motor and gently raise the accessory out of the workpiece
before resuming work.
• Always use the safety chain.
PRIOR TO OPERATION:
WARNING: Inspect the chain before each use, for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
Try a few simple projects using scrap material until you develop a "feel" for the machine.
Switching On and Off (Fig. 1, 9)
In order to operate properly, the machine has to be switched following the procedure as
described below
SWITCHING THE POWER ON AND OFF
Plug the unit into an appropriate outlet.
To turn the power on, press the power/magnet switch (A) to the on position (I).
NOTE: Once the power is switched on the magnet will automatically be activated.
To turn the power off, press the power/magnet switch to the off (O) position.

SWITCHING THE DRILL MOTOR ON AND OFF
WARNING: Ensure the magnet has secured the drill to the workpiece prior to turning the
motor on.
The drill motor can only be switched on when the magnet is activated.
To turn the drill motor on, press the green button (C) on the motor switch.
To turn the drill motor off, press the red button (B) on the motor switch.
RESETTING THE MACHINE
If the power is interrupted during use, or if at any point the magnetic grip is lost, the machine
must be reset.
1. Switch off the drill motor first, and then the magnet.
2. Ensure that the work area is clean.
3. Switch on the power/ magnet.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The DEWALT magnetic drill is fitted with an overload protection feature to prevent damage to
the motor if excessive loads are applied during operation.
The LED indicator light (N) will flash as a warning that excessive load is being applied, if this
happens reduce the pressure being applied until the light is constant green. If pressure is not
reduced the overload will activate cutting power, at which point the LED will be a solid red. If this
occurs run the unit at no load for several seconds to allow the motor to cool before resuming
the drilling operation.
Drilling a Hole (Fig. 9)
WARNING: Ensure the magnet has secured the drill to the workpiece prior to turning the
motor on.
1. Always apply an appropriate cutting fluid, coolant or lubricant on the cutting area.
2. Make sure the drill point or cutter pilot is properly installed over the spot to be drilled.
3. Press green button (C) on the motor switch to the start motor.
4. Slowly feed the accessory into the workpiece using the feed handle.
5. At the start of the cut, apply light pressure to allow the accessory to perform the initial
groove.
6. Continue applying sufficient pressure to achieve a smooth progressive cut. Do not force.
NOTE: The LED indicator light (N) will flash (red) to indicate too much pressure is being
applied, if this happens reduce the pressure being applied until the light changes to a
constant (green).
7. The pressure exerted on the handle is too high if the base comes loose from the work
surface.
9. Take extra care when the accessory is about to break through the surface to prevent
splintering.
10. Always switch off the motor and then the magnet, in that particular order, when work is
finished and before unplugging.
