Metabo MAG 50 Operating Instructions 2 - Page 12

ENG ENGLISH - Centre the position at which the hole is to be drilled. - Align the magnetic drill stand so that the drill bit is near the centre marking. - Switch on the magnet of the magnetic drill stand (switch (11)). - After releasing the eccentric (13), the upper section of the magnetic drill stand can be rotated and laterally shifted so that the drill bit is exactly above the centre marking. Important! Firmly clamp the eccentric (13) again. Before use, always check that the eccentric (13) is firmly clamped so that accidental displacement or rotation of the upper section is not possible. - Then switch on the drill (switch (9)). - Start the drilling operation with minimum feeding force. - When the drill bit has started to drill, slightly higher feeding force can be applied. Excessive feeding force leads to premature wear of the drill bit. Ensure that the chip flow is regular - The graduated collar at the spindle (8) is used to determine the drilling depth. If (after use) the magnetic drill stand is placed on a material with low heat-dissipation characteristics for a long period (e.g. plastic), the magnet must not be switched on because this could lead to overheating of the magnetic coils. Release lock nuts, tighten threaded pins and retighten lock nuts. 9 Troubleshooting Electronic restart protection (for preventing accidental restarting) If, with the drill switched on, a) the magnet is switched off or b) the power supply is interrupted, the drill comes to a standstill. If the magnet is then reactivated or the power supply restored, for safety reasons the drill does not restart automatically (electronic restart protection). Turn the drill back on at the switch (9).

For dealers to select the correct accessory, they need to know the exact model designation of your power tool. For a complete range of accessories, see www.metabo.com or the main catalogue. 11 Repairs 8 Cleaning, Maintenance Perform regular maintenance work, cleaning and lubrication. Disconnect the mains plug before starting any setting, maintenance or repair work. For lubricating the rack and pinion that moves the slide plate (5) up and down, a few drops of oil should be applied occasionally to the rack. Coat the sliding surfaces of the slide plate (5) with multi-purpose grease. Backlash of the slide plate The backlash of the side plate is set ex works. The side plate (5) must be adjusted so that while the slide plate (with motor installed) can still be moved freely up and down, it will remain in any position without the weight of the drill pulling it down. The backlash of the side plate (5) can be adjusted as required using the seven threaded pins (6). Repairs to electrical tools must be carried out by qualified electricians ONLY! The connection cable must only be replaced by Metabo or an authorised customer service workshop. Contact your local Metabo representative if you have Metabo power tools requiring repairs.
