- Sigurtà Elettrika: Il-plakek tal-għodda tal-enerġija għandhom jaqblu mas-sokit. Qatt ma timmodifika l-plakka bl-ebda mod. Evita kuntatt tal-ġisem ma' uċuħ ertjati jew imqabbdin mal-art.
- Sigurtà Personali: Always wear eye protection. Use hearing protection when operating the drill. Wear appropriate clothing; avoid loose clothing or jewelry that can get caught in moving parts. Secure long hair.
- Użu u Kura tal-Għodda: Tisforzax l-għodda tal-enerġija. Uża l-għodda tal-enerġija korretta għall-applikazzjoni tiegħek. Skonnettja l-plagg mis-sors tal-enerġija qabel ma tagħmel xi aġġustamenti, tibdel l-aċċessorji, jew taħżen l-għodda tal-enerġija.
Specific Pillar Drill Safety:
- Always secure the workpiece firmly to the drill table using the included vice or clamps. Qatt m'għandek iżżomm il-biċċa tax-xogħol bl-idejn.
- Ensure the drill bit is correctly installed and tightened in the chuck before operation.
- Adjust the drilling depth stop to prevent drilling into the drill table.
- Keep hands clear of the rotating drill bit and all moving parts.
- Allow the motor to reach full speed before beginning to drill.
- Do not attempt to clear chips or debris while the drill is operating.

5.1 Preparing for Drilling
- Agħżel il-Biċċa tat-Trapan: Choose the appropriate drill bit for the material and hole size. Insert it into the chuck and tighten securely with the chuck key.
- Aġġusta Veloċità: Open the belt cover and adjust the belt position on the pulleys to select the desired speed. Higher speeds are generally for smaller bits and softer materials, while lower speeds are for larger bits and harder materials. Close the belt cover before operation.
- Adjust Work Table: Loosen the table lock and adjust the work table height and angle as required for your workpiece. Re-tighten the lock securely. The table can be tilted from +45° to -45°.
- Biċċa tax-Xogħol Sikura: Place the workpiece on the table and secure it firmly using the included vice or clamps. Ensure it cannot shift during drilling.
- Set Drilling Depth: Use the depth stop mechanism to set the desired drilling depth. This prevents drilling too deep.
- Attiva l-Laser: Turn on the integrated laser guide to precisely align the drilling point.

5.2 Proċedura tat-Tħaffir
- Kun żgur li jiġu segwiti l-prekawzjonijiet kollha tas-sigurtà.
- Turn on the drill using the power switch. Allow the motor to reach its operating speed.
- Bil-mod niżżel il-bit tat-trapan fil-biċċa tax-xogħol billi tuża l-mankijiet tal-għalf. Applika pressjoni kostanti u uniformi.
- Do not force the drill. If the motor slows significantly, reduce feed pressure.
- Periodically retract the drill bit to clear chips, especially when drilling deep holes in metal.
- Once the desired depth is reached, retract the drill bit completely from the workpiece.
- Turn off the drill and wait for the chuck and drill bit to stop rotating before removing the workpiece or making adjustments.
6. Manutenzjoni
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your pillar drill.
- Tindif: After each use, clean the machine of dust, chips, and debris. Use a brush or compressed air. Do not use solvents that may damage plastic parts.
