CHAPTER 1 - Installation of the Machine
!
The 3M drill is heaviest where the drill head is fitted and as such, care must be taken while
relocating or moving the machine.
Upon receiving the drilling Ixion BT 13 , the machine should be sitting upright and bolted centrally on top of a
wooden pallet. While the machine is situated on the pallet, position the forklift arms under the pallet between the
runners, keeping in mind that the machine is head heavy and minimal force should be exerted on the electrical
box located beneath the machine (Figure 1). Move the entire unit to an accessible area as close as possible to
the final location.
Carefully remove the packaging surrounding the drill unit and the bolts restraining the drill to the pallet. Once
completed, proceed by elevating the machine away from the pallet base using a sling harness wrapped around
the entire unit ensuring that it is equally supported. Ensure that the floor is as level as possible and enough
clearance is allocated before finally positioning the machine to the desired location.
Once in position, verify that the electrical supply is connected. Attached the 3MT arbour and chuck set (not
provided) into the quill housing, while ensuring that the arbour step correctly mates into the quill housing slot.

1.2 Parts Checklist
Along with the drill unit, check that the following accessories, packed "loose", are included as follows:
A. ACCESSORIES
i. 1 Operation Manual
!
The drill unit has an inbuilt safety electrical system to protect it against voltage variations. However,
for the machine to operate efficiently, ensure that the drill operates within ±10% limits of the
recommended voltage on the motor.
The drill unit arrives fastened to the shipping pallet using 3 M16 bolts provided. When positioning and fastening
the drill, please refer to the hole locations shown in Figure 2.
!
Do not extend the height of the machine past the maximum ‘height installed’ indicated (Page i).
Exceeding past this limit will cause the column to extend out of the column support, which might
subsequently cause damage to the machine, as well as causing injury to any person in the vicinity.

1.5 Connection to Power Source
Before connecting the machine to the power supply, check that the socket is not connected in series with other
machines. This condition is critical for the ideal operation of the drill (Referring to Figure 3 for wiring of “4-CORE”
power supply cable from the machine to a power plug. Check that the spindle rotary direction and change the
phasing if required; clockwise rotation observing top-down on top of the motor pulley.)
Note that single-phase machines are supplied in Australia with 15-amp plug). Furthermore, ensure that all the
electrical leads and cables (including supply leads) are well maintained and should be immediately replaced if cut,
sliced or damaged in any manner.
1) Insert the power plug into the socket, while VOLTAGE MAIN VOLTAGE
ensuring that the mains voltage is compatible for 415/240V 3 PH 240V
which the drill is operating at.
3) To prepare the machine for operation, release the STOP/EMERGENCY STOP button by twisting the red
mushroom button. To activate the drill, engage the green START button.
4) If all of the above procedures have been carried out correctly, the drill should now be operational

CHAPTER 2 - Safety and Accident Prevention
The employer is responsible for instructing the personnel who, in turn, are obliged to inform the operator of any
accident risks, safety devices, noise emission and accident prevention regulations provided for by national and
international laws governing the use of the machine. The operator must be perfectly aware of the position
and functions of all the machine’s controls.
All those concerned must strictly adhere to ALL instructions, warnings and accident prevention
standards in this manual.
The following definitions are those provided for by the EEC DIRECTIVE ON MACHINERY No. 98/37/CE:
Danger Zone - any zone in and/or around a machine in which the presence of a person constitutes a risk
for the safety and health of that person.
Person Exposed - any person finding him or herself, either completely or partly in a danger zone.
Operator - the person or persons given the responsibility of installing, operating, adjusting, maintaining,
cleaning, repairing and transporting the machine.
!
The manufacturer declines any responsibility whatsoever, either civil of criminal, in the case of
unauthorised interference or replacement of one or more parts or assemblies on the machine, or if
accessories, tools and consumable materials are used that are different from those recommended
by the manufacturer himself or if the machine is inserted in a plant system and its proper function is
altered.
Please note that peak impulse noise levels will be experienced due to variables including drill characteristics,
type, and condition. This will also vary accordingly depending on the size and type of sample being drilled.
Under these circumstances, management should make available to the operator(s) the appropriate hearing
protection equipment as prescribed under the above stated act.
4
2.1.2 Power Supply
The 415/240V power supply requirements for this machine are of a high level and unauthorised interference and
or inadequate maintenance could result in a situation that could put the operator at risk. A qualified electrical
engineer should be assigned to maintain and repair the system.
Insufficient lighting during the operation of the drill unit would constitute a safety hazard for the people concerned.
For this reason, the user of the machine must provide adequate lighting in the working area to eliminate areas in
shadow, whilst also preventing dazzling illumination sources (reference standard ISO 8995 - 2002 ‘Lighting of
Indoor Workplaces’).
Connections
Check that the power supply cables, compressed air supply and/or coolant system complies with, and are
operating within the acceptable range of the drill capabilities. Faulty, damaged or worn components must be
replaced immediately.
Earthing Systems
The installation of the earthing system must comply with the requirements stated in the IEC Standards Part 195:
Earthing and Protection Against Electric Shocks 1998.
Ensure that hands and arms are kept clear of the drilling zone when the machine is
operating.
Do not wear oversize clothing with long sleeves and oversize gloves, bracelets, necklaces or
any other loose object that may become entangled in the machine’s tooling bit during drilling.
Long hair must be tied back or placed in a hair net.
Always disconnect the power supply to the machine before carrying out any maintenance
work or adjustments. This includes cases of abnormal operations of the machine.
The operator MUST NOT conduct any risky operations or those not required for the drilling in
course (eg. remove swarf shavings from the machine while drilling). Never move the 3M drill
while the machine is operating.
Always keep the workplace area as clean as possible. Remove equipment, tools or any other
objects from the drilling zone.
5
Support the work piece on both sides of the machine to prevent it falling or jamming during
the drilling cycle.
If the drill bit is jammed, press the emergency stop push button immediately. Do not
continue forcing the bit through. This could damage the drill, the specimen or be a cause for
potential injury to the operator.
Always turn off the machine before carrying out any repair work. Consult the Brobo Group
Engineering Department in the country in which the machine was initially purchased.

CHAPTER 3 - Main Functions and Operation of the Machine
KEY:
1. Drill Head – Pulleys and Belt Assembly
2. Safety Eye Shields
3. Depth Adjustment
4. Racklift Assembly
5. Column Support
The full set of motor drive, intermediate and quill pulleys are all housed within the protective drill guard cover.
Facing the front of the drill unit, the spindle speed setting is located on the right hand side of the cover, beneath
the locking mechanism. To change the spindle speed settings, the user must manually change the V-belt
positions as shown in the black panel.
As the name suggests, the safety eye shield should be lowered into position prior to drilling to prevent any swarf
dislodging in the direction of the user.
Situated beneath the 3-pronged handle boss is the depth adjustment gauge. Using the gauge and the scale
indicator shown on the left hand side of the drill, the operator can manually set the desired depth for a drill hole
and lock its position.
7
3.1.5 Column Support
Prior to usage, ensure that the column support is securely fastened to the ground using the 3 x M16 bolt holes
provided (see Figure 2).
PROCEDURE
i) Clean the workpiece to ensure it is free of any grit, swarf or flammable substances. It is highly
recommended that a solvent be used to remove any residue, while ensuring the solvent is inflammable and
non-toxic.
ii) Prior to drilling, clear the drill and the work area around the work piece of any swarf or/and tools to
minimise the likelihood of the user getting injured during the drilling operation.
iii) Load the workpiece into the mechanical vice (sold separately), located on the racklift, and fastened
workpiece securely. Loosen the racklift and adjust the height and horizontal position. Once you have
position the workpiece into the desired location, relock the racklift assembly.
iv) Check that the correct speed drill speed setting is selected, and the safety eye shield is directly positioned
to deflect swarf and any dislodged particles.
v) Turn the machine on. Proceed by slowly drilling into the workpiece until a guide indent is created. Steadily
increase the feed rate of drilling by applying a constant yet steady force on the feed handle until the desired
hole depth is reached.
vi) Reverse the direction of the drill fed until it come to rest in its start position and turn the drill machine off.
Do not force the drill bit through the workpiece as this significantly reduces the lifespan of the bit, as well as
increasing the risk of the bit bending and/or breaking and injuring the operator.
When drilling through larger hole diameters through thick materials, its is advisable to split the drilling
operation into two or three stages, starting from drilling a smaller hole size and increasing it until the
desired final hole size.
