1. Einleitung
This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient operation, setup, and maintenance of your Metabo MAG 32 Electromagnetic Core Drill. The MAG 32 is a robust 1/4" electromagnetic core drill designed for precision drilling tasks, featuring a powerful motor and a strong magnetic base for secure attachment to ferrous materials.
2. Sicherheitshinweise
Beachten Sie stets die allgemeinen Sicherheitsrichtlinien für Elektrowerkzeuge. Die Nichtbeachtung dieser Anweisungen kann zu Stromschlag, Brand und/oder schweren Verletzungen führen.
- Sicherheit am Arbeitsplatz: Halten Sie Ihren Arbeitsbereich sauber und gut beleuchtet. Überladene oder dunkle Bereiche laden zu Unfällen ein.
- Elektrische Sicherheit: Ensure the power supply matches the tool's requirements. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
- Persönliche Sicherheit: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection, hearing protection, and gloves. Avoid loose clothing.
- Werkzeugspezifische Sicherheit:
- The protective circuit ensures the motor only starts when the magnet is activated, preventing accidental operation.
- Restart protection prevents unintentional start-up after a power supply interruption, enhancing user safety.
- Secure the magnetic base firmly to the workpiece before starting any drilling operation.
- Use the provided safety strap when working at heights or on vertical surfaces to prevent the tool from falling.
3. Einrichtung
Before operating the Metabo MAG 32, ensure proper setup and attachment of accessories.
3.1 Auspacken und Prüfen
Carefully remove the drill and all accessories from the case. Inspect for any shipping damage. Included components typically are: Weldon 3/4" chuck, allen wrench, case, magnetic drill unit, and a safety strap.
3.2 Attaching the Drill Bit
Insert the desired core drill or spiral drill into the Weldon 3/4" chuck. Ensure it is securely fastened using the allen wrench. The lockable slide facilitates comfortable tool changes.
3.3 Coolant System
The drill features an integrated coolant container for easy-to-dose internal cooling from the core drill. Fill the container with appropriate cutting fluid before operation to prolong tool life and improve cutting performance.

4. Bedienungsanleitung
Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your electromagnetic core drill.
4.1 Securing the Drill
- Position the magnetic base on a clean, flat ferrous surface.
- Activate the magnet using the designated switch. Ensure the magnetic base has a high holding power before proceeding. The drill is designed for working on vertical surfaces and overhead due to its strong magnet.
- Attach the safety strap to a secure anchor point and to the drill's handle for added security, especially when working in elevated positions.
4.2 Bohrvorgang
- Align the drill bit with the desired drilling point. The bright LED light assists in easy alignment, particularly in poor light conditions.
- Ensure the chip protection guard is in place. This guard can be fixed without tools and protects the user from metal shavings and tool contact.
- Start the motor. The protective circuit will only allow the motor to start if the magnet is properly activated.
- Slowly feed the drill bit into the workpiece using the feed handle. Apply steady, even pressure.
- Monitor the coolant flow from the integrated container to ensure continuous cooling of the drill bit.
- Once drilling is complete, retract the drill bit, switch off the motor, and then deactivate the magnetic base.

5. Wartung
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Metabo MAG 32 drill.
- Reinigung: After each use, clean the drill, especially the magnetic base and chuck area, to remove metal shavings and debris.
- Kühlsystem: Empty and clean the coolant container regularly to prevent blockages and ensure efficient cooling.
- Motor: The Metabo long-life motor features patented dust protection, reducing the need for frequent internal cleaning. However, ensure external vents are clear of obstructions.
- Kabelinspektion: Regularly inspect the sturdy electric cord (16') with rubber sheathing for any signs of damage. Replace immediately if damaged.
- Lagerung: Store the drill in its case in a dry, secure location when not in use.
6. Fehlerbehebung
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Metabo MAG 32 drill.
- Drill Not Starting:
- Prüfen Sie, ob das Netzkabel fest eingesteckt ist.
- Ensure the magnetic base is fully engaged and activated. The protective circuit prevents motor start-up if the magnet is not active.
- Verify there hasn't been a power interruption; the restart protection feature will prevent automatic restart. Cycle the power switch.
- Schlechte Bohrleistung:
- Check the drill bit for sharpness and damage. Replace if necessary.
- Ensure adequate coolant flow. Refill the coolant container if empty.
- Verify the feed rate is appropriate for the material being drilled.
- Magnetic Base Not Holding:
- Ensure the workpiece surface is clean, flat, and free of rust, paint, or debris.
- Confirm the material is ferrous and thick enough for the magnet to engage effectively.
- Check the power supply to the drill.
