1.2 Specific safety information
• Keep your fingers away from the drilling area;
• Avoid touching the slug that is automatically ejected by the pilot pin when the working
procedure is finished. Contact with the slug when it is hot, or if it falls, can cause
personal injuries;
• Always use the safety guard. Before switching on the machine ensure that the guard is
closed securely;
• Always use the safety chain;
• The magnetic drilling machine is suitable for use on steel with a thickness starting from
6 mm, with zero air gap between the magnet core surface and the mounting surface.
Curvature, coats of paint and surface irregularities will create an air gap. Keep the air
gap to a minimum;
• Always place the machine on a flat surface;
• Do not clamp the magnetic drilling machine on small or irregular shaped objects;
• Always place the machine on a surface that is clear of shavings, chips, swarf and
surface dirt;
• Keep the magnet clean and free of debris and swarf;
• Do not switch on the machine before checking whether the magnetic stand has been
tightened firmly to the mounting surface;
• Adjust the machine so cutter does not extend into the workpiece before drilling. Do not
perform any design, assembly or construction activities on the workpiece while the
machine is switched on;
• Before switching on the machine, make sure all accessories have been mounted
correctly;
• Do not switch on the machine until it has been mounted and installed according to all
above mentioned instructions;
• Always use the recommended speed for the accessories and material you are working
with;
• Do not use the machine on the same workpiece on which electric welders are working;
• Only use an appropriate cutting lubricant. We offer a wide range of well-considered
cooling and lubrication products to match your requirements;
• Do not use liquid cutting fluids while drilling vertically or overhead. Dip the cutter in
cutting paste or apply an appropriate spray for these applications;
• Do not pour cutting fluid into the reservoir while it is mounted in the bracket. Do not
allow cutting fluid to enter the drill motor;
• Before use, ensure movable safety guard operates properly;
• In case of a jammed cutter, turn off the machine, disconnect the machine from the
power supply and then remove the reason for the jam before turning on the machine.
