Tapping

With the Tapping Attachments it is possible to tap from M 3 up to M 16.

The Tapping Attachment automatically switches over to left-hand rotation,

as soon as spindle (B) is turned back.

Operating tips.

First, place annular cutter with ejector pin on a marked center or marking.

Drilling with ALFRA Rotabest cutters does not require much expenditure of

force. Set the cutter and spot-drill, until the entire cut edge is formed as a

circle.

During the drilling process, the cutter should be cooled permanently. Optimal

Cooling is possible by internal cooling with our coolant unit.

During the drilling process, do not stop the motor. After the process, cutter

draw back with running motor.

Remove chips and core after each drilling. Remove chips with Chip-Remover

– do not touch with bare hands – DANGER OF INJURY!

6. Cleaning.

Danger of injuries by unintentional switching on. Pull plug prior to cleaning.

Clean motor by means of dry compressed air ( from the outside).

Check connecting lines on damages.

Clean and grease sliding surfaces regularly. Should, nevertheless, lateral play

arise by wear of the dovetail guide, this could be adjusted by adjusting the

laterally positioned set screws (K).

Carbon brushes should be replaced after appr. 250 hours running time.

After the work is finished, we recommend to store the Metal Core Drilling

Machine in the transport case in a lying position.
