The manometer in a high-pressure cleaner shows the pump pressure.
The manometer in a high-pressure cleaner shows the pump pressure.
Magnetic base
The magnetic foot is the baseplate of a magnetic drill stand.
Magnetic drill stand
Drill stand which can be attached to ferrous metal surfaces with the help of a magnetic base. Used mainly for heavy-duty drills in structural steel engineering.
Magnet holder
Steel screws are easily picked up with a magnet holder and the appropriate accessories; they can be safely processed with electric screwdrivers and drill/drivers in one-hand operation.
Mains voltage
This is the voltage which is available to consumers through the mains network of your local power supply company. Currently it is being changed from 220 to 230 V in Europe.
Material
General term for processed stock or raw materials.
Maximum permissible value
Highest possible value (speed, load, temperature) specified for technical or security reasons which must not be exceeded during operation.
Measuring bar, measuring scale
The depth stop in the auxiliary handle of drills and impact drills as well as rotary hammers has a measuring bar with a depth scale.
Measuring range
Effective range in which a measuring instrument indicates the desired minimum and maximum values. measuring instruments can be equipped with several measuring ranges which can be changed manually or automatically.
Metal claws, profiled claws, joint claws
These claws are used with tackers to make invisible joints between profiled wooden components.
Micro tools
Micro tools are precision tools for drilling, sanding, polishing, sawing and routing from the BOSCH micro-line. They are usually operated at low voltage through a transformer.
