Tapping Function; Swivel Base Function - Walter Surface Technologies ICECUT300 Mode D'emploi

8) TAPPING FUNCTION
1.Ensure power to the machine, red LED will illuminate (1).
2. Press the magnet switch on (2) to engage the magnet. The LED will light up in either green or red (3). Depending on
the material thickness and magnetic adhesion. Green magnet LED indicates optimum adhesion achieved. Drilling
operation is available.
Warning if red magnet LED is illuminated this indicates optimum adhesion not achieved. Drilling operation is still
available.
3. Use the speed controller on the top cap housing to dictate the speed, always use speeds that are recommended for
the drill size being used.
4. Turn the motor on in the forward direction (4).
5. Drill the hole to the recommended tapping size for the thread to be cut.
6. Without disengaging the magnet replace the drill with the tap.
7. Set the spindle speed to the required tapping speed.
8. Start the drill spindle in the forward direction (4) and feed the tap into the hole until it begins to cut. Once cutting
the tap will feed itself through, only gentle pressure on the feed handles should be necessary.
9. Once the tap has threaded the hole the drill should be stopped immediately (4).
10. The drill spindle should then be switched to reverse (5) and the tap can be fed back out of the hole. This allows
the tap to be safely extracted from the hole at a reduced RPM.
9) SWIVEL BASE FUNCTION
1. This machine is fitted with a swivel base facility that allows precise movement of the drilling unit
once the magnet has been energised.
2. By using 48Z010, 10mm Hexagonal spanner to release the drilling unit via eccentricity spindle
48H446 (counter clockwise), a 20mm forward and reverse function as well as an angular
0
displacement of 30 from the front centre is achievable.
3. Once the desired position is achieved it is locked again by tightening eccentricity spindle using
48Z010 (clockwise).
