loading and unloading, fast lift speeds and heavy hydraulic flow. “The high torque at low engine speeds translates into reduced fuel consumption,” says Barber.

With the ECO Mode, the operator can easily change the driving mode by the touch of a switch at the dashboard. “The ECO Mode will reduce fuel consumption by an additional 5% compared with the Standard Mode,” explains Barber.

The cyclone type and heavy duty dual element air filter cleaning system protects the engine against contamination. This prolongs the engine’s service life and keeps the engine in the best condition in any environment. Meanwhile, the solid one-piece cast iron housing and J-hook mounts for the mast enhances reliability for low maintenance costs.

The range’s oil-cooled disc brake system is totally enclosed for maximum protection against contamination. The maintenance-free nature of the brakes ensures maximum uptime, less damage and zero brake maintenance cost for fleet owners. Meanwhile, the oil-cooled disc braking system carries a lifetime warranty, which further reduces lifetime costs.

The braking efficiency is also hugely improved, resulting in improved safety, especially when used on inclines.

Type 3 Point

Tek screw length

• Consider the total thickness of the materials – Object + substrate + space between.

• Tek screw should be able to drill through the object and through the substrate and extend at least the drill bit, plus suffiecient thread (NB!).

NB!

• Example, if the total thickness of the materials is 48mm, don’t use the 50mm Tek screws as the threaded length will be insuffiecient. Rather buy the 65mm Tek screws as they will extend beyond the substrate.

for more information, visit

www.eureka.co.za

Drilling point length • It’s very IMPORTANT that the drilling point is long enough to completely drill through the material before the threads engage.

• Example, if you need to drill through 4mm plate, the drilling point should be longer than 4mm.

• If the drilling point is too short and the threads engage too early, they can cause the fastener to bind and break off.

Point is TOO SHORT!

• The drill flute allows the debris to exit the hole that is being drilled.

• If the drill flute becomes embedded in the material, the drill chips will clog the flute and cause the drill point to overheat and fail.

NOTE: A TEK SCREW MUST ALWAYS DRILL THROUGH BOTH PIECES OF MATERIAL, ALLOWING THE FULL DRILL POINT TO EXTEND BEYOND THE SECOND PIECE. IT CANNOT EMBED ITSELF LIKE A SCREW, IT MIGHT BREAK.

Installation Tips 90°

• ATTENTION: Drill slower than 1 500rpm!

• Apply only enough pressure for the screw to drill.

The screw should do the drilling.

• It is important to hold the power drill at 90° to the surface to prevent failure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1

Should smoke appear during use?

NO!! Absolutely not!

• Drilling speed too high.

• OR applying too much downward pressure.

2

Why is the point melting?

3

• Applying too much downward pressure.

• OR drilling speed too high.

• OR drill flute too short.

Why is the screw breaking?

• Drilling tip is too short.

Thread is engaging before the tip is finished drilling.

• Or drilling point not long enough to drill through the thickness of the material.

• Drill is on hammer action, set to normal operation.

Scan this code for a helpful instructional video!

Why is nothing happening?

• At normal drilling speeds it is difficult to see if the screw is rotating in the correct direction.

• Stop and make sure the power drill is not set to ‘Reverse’ mode.

SANDPAPER

TYPES OF ABRASIVES Abrasives come in all shapes and sizes, including sheets, belts, rolls and discs.

• Sheets are sold individually or as part of a pack. They resemble A4 printer paper and can be used to sand by hand or can be cut to size to fit onto sanders or sanding blocks.

• Belts go with belt sanders and, depending on its size, there will be an abrasive belt which will fit perfectly onto your power tool.

• Rolls of sandpaper are used with handheld tools, such as sanders or sanding blocks, mainly because they are already the correct size. All you need to do is cut the right length and place it in the sander or sanding block.

• There are a variety of discs available for sanding. Mop sanding discs are fitted to angle grinders and have a fan-shaped radial arrangement of grinding flaps, while self-fastening discs stick onto orbital sanders. Both are good for heavy stock removal and will last a long time.

// IF YOU DISSECT A PIECE OF SANDPAPER YOU WILL FIND IT IS MADE UP OF THREE LAYERS – THE BACKING MATERIAL, THE ADHESIVE AND THE GRIT //

OPEN AND CLOSED COAT SANDPAPER Open coat sandpaper is used for woodworking where a lot of sawdust will be present. There are spaces and gaps between the grits, which help prevent clogging by giving the sawdust a place to go. These spaces and gaps can cover 40% to 60% of the sandpaper’s surface. Closed coat sandpaper is better for sanding metal and wood finishing.

OPINION JUREK LEON

The best way to motivate people is to catch them doing things right and praise them for it, but are you doing it right?

comes easily to a lot of managers. Even those who do praise regularly

need some guidance on how to do it effectively. For example, I often caution business owners and managers attending presentations not to stride back into work and say, “I just want you all to know that I think you’re doing a fabulous job.”

The staff will soon work out that their manager has just been on a course or at a conference, and they’ll say to one another, “This won’t last. Give it two days/hours/minutes and things will be back to normal!”

Is praise the best motivation for staff?
