WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate magnetic drilling machine in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Magnetic drilling machine may create sparks which may
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. Magnetic drilling machine plugs 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 magnetic drilling machines 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 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.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use 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) protected supply. Use of an RCD 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 machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating magnetic drilling machines may result
in serious personal injury.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. 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 switch is off before plugging in. Carrying magnetic drilling
machines with your finger on the switch or plugging in magnetic drilling machines that have
the switch on invites accidents.

ISSUE 1/Original version/OCT 2013 5

 4. Never place hands, fingers, gloves or clothing near cutting 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

INSERTING AND REMOVING AN ACCESSORY (FIG. 1)
The tool holder accepts annular cutters with a 19,05 mm Weldon shank with one or more flats.

WARNING: The teeth of a cutter are very sharp and can be dangerous.

1. In order to fit an annual cutter it is necessary to remove the guard (1);

2. Slide the pilot pin through the hole in the center of the cutter shank.
3. Insert the shank of the accessory as far into the tool holder as possible.
4. Tighten the two Allen screws with Allen key;
5. To remove the accessory, loosen the Allen screws and take out the cutter.

Try a few simple projects using scrap material until you develop a “feel” for the machine.

WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from
power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or
accessories.

MAGNETIC BASE
Material of minimum 10 mm thickness is required for the magnet to work the best.

The attachment force generated by the magnet depends on various factors.

 Thickness of the material the magnet is placed on;

 Paint or coating of the material the magnet is placed on;
 Metal chips, oil or other dirt under the magnet.

If the LED indicator (see page 13) lights up GREEN, the magnet is generating sufficient attachment
force. If the LED indicator lights up RED, the magnet may not generating sufficient attachment force.

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

We would like to point out that this is only an indication and not a certainly that the magnet will
not release from the material. Euroboor accepts no liability ensuring from 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 2 coils; make sure that both coils are in contact
with the material. Do not connect any other machines to the electrical outlet the magnetic drilling
machine is plugged into, as it may result in the loss of magnetic force.

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 brochure or our website www.euroboor.com where several vacuum
tightening systems and pipe clamping systems are mentioned.

ACTIVATING THE MAGNET

Connect the machine to the mains/work piece. To activate the magnet, press the red button
(Fig. 2 – 6). The switch will be lit (red). The LED indicator (Fig. 2 - 3) will be lit GREEN if generated
magnetic force is sufficient. When LED indicator turns RED there is not enough magnetic force and it
is not safe to work. To deactivate the magnet, press the same button (Fig. 2 - 6) again.

TURNING THE MOTOR ON AND OFF

The motor unit can only be switched ON when the magnet is activated. To turn the motor ON, by
pressing the green button with marking “I”(Fig. 2 - 2). To switch the motor OFF, press the red button
with marking “O”(Fig. 2 - 2).

TORQUE
The ECO.100/4 (D) is equipped with a all-time electronic torque protection. It will stop the motor
unit when it gets overloaded in any rpm. In that case just push the OFF switch to reset and ON
switch to start drilling again.

TEMPERATURE
The ECO. 100/4 (D) is equipped with an all-time electronic temperature protection. If the
temperature of the motor unit runs up to 70 Degree Celsius the motor unit will stop. After a few
minutes it can be started again and we recommend running the motor unloaded with the electronic
speed adjustment set on 100% in order to let the motor unit cool down.

ISSUE 1/Original version/OCT 2013 13

The Electronic Controls
On the side of the motor unit are the variable
electronic control wheels. The blue wheel
regulate the rotation speed and the red wheel
regulate the torque power of the motor unit.

When drilling with big diameter cutters or

deep holes start drilling with the torque
wheel in a low position to prevent cutter
damage. Increase the power setting a bit
when the machine stops too fast. When
the machine stops cause of torque overload,
press the 0 and then the I button of the Fig. 3
On/Off switch to start drilling again.

Continuous electronic Temperature protection :

The ECO.100/4 is equipped with a all-time electronic temperature protection. If the temperature of
the motor unit reaches 70° Celsius, the motor unit will stop. After a few minutes it can be started
again and we recommend to let the motor run unloaded with the electronic speed adjustment set on
100% to let the motor unit cool down.

4-speed Manual Gearbox

The ECO.100/4 is equipped with a 4-speed gearbox. The two gear switches makes it possible to
choose 4 manual speeds. Also does the ECO.100/4 have a electronic speed adjustment so every
wanted speed can be selected. Important is that the closest mechanical gear is selected first and
after that the speed can be decreased by the electronic adjustment. Therefore, always try to keep
the electronic speed wheel above 50% to prevent the armature to build up heat due low running
speed.

Note that the mentioned cutter sizes is only a indication. Depending on variables as the condition of
the used cutter, hardness of material or if oil is used the best drilling speed can be different as
mentioned above.

To select other gear, turn off motor unit and main power. Push the black switch on the side of the
gearbox and slide to other position. A slight turn of the output shaft by hand while sliding the black
switch to the other position can be necessary to line up the gears inside. Proof that the gear is locked
if the black switch comes back to front.

DRILLING A HOLE
Now that you have read the explanatory information and safety recommendations above, you are
ready to actually start drilling. Follow these 10 steps for best drilling result :

1 Use the tip of the pilot pin to determine the center of the hole to be drilled.

2 Turn the magnet on and verify that the drill is in the right position and that the machine is
pushed tight against the work piece.

3 If your machine is equipped with a auto coolant system, put open the valve to release the oil. If
your machine does not have a auto coolant system, fill the holes of the spindle with oil.

4 Turn the motor on at the highest setting and allow it to run at full speed.

5 Turn the arms to start drilling. Apply only a slight pressure when the Annular Cutter touch the
metal. Do not push the Annular Cutter with force into the metal.

6 Apply a regular pressure while drilling. The drilling performance does not improve by putting
more pressure on the tool. Too much pressure will overload the motor and your Annular Cutter
will be worn sooner. Let the cutter do the job and give it time to cut the metal !!!

7 Adjust the oil supply when necessary, if your drill does not have a auto coolant system, stop
drilling regularly, refill the holes of the spindle and continue drilling.

8 Apply less pressure when the drill cuts through the material.

9 Turn the arms to put the motor in highest position and turn off the motor unit.

10 Remove the burr, metal chips and clean the cutter and surface without getting injuries.
Caution : The metal piece drilled out can be sharp and very hot!!

ISSUE 1/Original version/OCT 2013 15

DRILLING WITH 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
operation, as they may be extremely hot and cause burns to the skin. Ensure nobody is in the
work area where the metal core 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
machineability can exist among material 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, volume of material to be removed, surface
finish and available machine power.

THREADING

The machine is equipped with a reversible direction of rotation and can also be used for cutting
threads. Proceed as follows for cutting threads:

 Drill the hole for the thread on the recommended size of the tap;

 Switch off the machine (Fig. 2 - 2) and change the cutter for the tap collet and the machine
tap;

 Select the lowest gear (Fig. 4) and speed (Fig. 2 - 5) and set the direction of rotation to
clockwise (right = R) at switch (Fig. 2 - 1);

 Switch on (Fig. 2 - 2) the machine and set the machine tap onto the drilled hole;

 Guide the machine slide down at the handle (Fig. 1 - 2) without exerting pressure until the
desired thread length has been cut.

 Switch off (Fig. 2 - 2) the machine and set the direction of rotation to anti-clockwise (left = L)
at switch (Fig. 2 - 1).

 Switch on the machine (Fig. 2 - 2) again and allow the machine tap to come completely out of
the work piece. Then guide the machine slide upwards at handle to avoid damaging the
start of the thread.

ISSUE 1/Original version/OCT 2013 16

COUNTERSINKING/REAMING
Thanks to its wide range of operating speeds, the machine can also be used for reaming or counter-
sinking.

LUBRICATION
IN HORIZONTAL APPLICATIONS
 Adjust the fluid flow as required using the flow regulator;
 Add more cutting fluid if the shavings (metal chips) become blue.

VERTICAL AND OVERHEAD APPLICATIONS

Dip the cutter in cutting paste or apply an appropriate spray.

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 guide way at both sides;
 Lubricate the gear rack.

After repeated use, the gear rack may become loose. If necessary, adjust the 5 self-locking set
screws at the left side. Tighten screws in series until the gear rack moves freely in the dove-tail guide
but does not allow the motor to wobble.

Cleaning
WARNING: 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 approved dust mask
when performing this procedure.

WARNING: 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.

Optional Accessories
WARNING: Since accessories, other than those offered by EUROBOOR, have not been tested
with this product, 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 product.

Replace any defective parts immediately. This prevents properly function parts from being damaged.

CARBON BRUSHES
Brushes should be checked to make sure there is no abnormal wear present. This should be checked
at least once a week if used frequently. If the carbon brush has worn more than 2/3 the original
length the brushes should be changed. Failure to do so may cause damage to the machine.

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 not to hold as efficiently
and may cause injury to the operator.

CHECK MACHINES GREASE

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

CHECK ARMATURE
This should be checked at least 1 per month to check that 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 and 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 is 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 brass rail strips and apply a small amount of light machine oil to
the wear surfaces.
2. Commencing with the top screw, loosen both setting nut (#4 on spare part drawing) with
included wrench 8 and the setting screw (#5 on spare part drawing) with included Allen key
2.5. Then gently feed in setting screw 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.

REPAIR, MODIFICATION AND INSPECTION

Repair, modification and inspection of Euroboor Magnetic drilling machines must be done by
EUROBOOR or an EUROBOOR authorized 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.
