After the cut is finished the slug will automatically be ejected from the cutter, switch the machine off by pushing the red button(0). If the slug gets stuck in the cutter, move the machine to a flat surface. Switch on the magnet and gently bring the cutter down in contact with the surface.

The drill has to find its way in to the material by itself. It is not necessary to use a lot of pressure. Too much pressure will cause damage and breakage. After the cutting is finished switch the machine off by pushing the red button. 3. 5 Tapping / threading With models FE 32 R/L, FE 50 R/L and FE 100 R/L you are able to make a thread in the drilled hole. Only model FE 100 R/L has the possibility to make thread in "blind" holes. FE 50 R/L and FE 100 R/L drilling units are equipped with a direct Morse taper connection. A tap chuck can be inserted to this connection. Model FE 32 R/L can only make threads using the tap holder inserts (picture 2). Tap holders DIN376 M10, M12 and M14 are standard delivered with every FE 32 R/L and FE 50 R/L. These adapters will allow you to attach a drill chuck on to the hole cutter arbor. However when using longer twist drills you will notice the stroke of your magnetic drilling machine is often not large enough. With models FE 32 and FE 32 R/L you are able to remove the hole cutter arbor and guidance. It will reveal a ½"x20 NF direct connection on the drilling unit, enabling you to attach a corresponding drill chuck. To dismount the arbor unscrew the 4 hexagon screws under the guidance support. After, unscrew the arbor from the motor using an open ended spanner 18 and 20 mm. Models FE 50, FE 50 R/L and FE 100 R/L are equipped with Morse taper adapters. They can be removed easily and a twist drill or drill chuck with direct taper connection can be inserted in to the drilling unit.
