ADDITIONAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Mains Power Supply Security.
Due to the nature of operation of this machine, it
is of the utmost importance to ensure the security
and continuity of the mains power supply.
Ensure that this machine has a dedicated
power supply, and use a lock on device to
ensure that the mains power supply cannot
be interrupted or compromised accidentally.
Do not use other appliances on the same
power socket, as any variation in voltage
caused by other connected appliances could
result in the magnet deactivating. Always use
the tool on its own dedicated power socket.
Where the power supply is provided by
an ‘onsite’ generator set, ensure that the
generator set is reliable and well maintained,
and that the fuel tank contains sufficient fuel
to allow completion of the task. The addition
of warning labels is strongly recommended.
(9.1)
1) TRANSPORTING and HANDLING.
Magnetic Drills are heavy machines, care must
be taken when transporting and handling.
• When transporting or moving the Magnetic
Drill, always use the carrying handle or
other carrying aids provided.
• Always ensure that the dovetail slide is in
its lowest position and locked in place.
• Do not transport or move the Magnetic
Drill with a cutter attached.
• If the coolant feed system is fitted, ensure
that the coolant feed tap is in the off position,
or the coolant system has been drained.
• If the Magnetic Drill is to be transported in
a vehicle ensure that it is laid on its side and
is secured to prevent movement.
• Do not transport the Magnetic Drill with the
mains cord and plug dragging along the ground.
• Never carry or drag the machine using the
mains cord.

Carrying your Magnetic Drill
Safety Advice
• Although compact, this Magnetic Drill is
heavy. To reduce the risk of back injury, get
competent help, if required, whenever you
have to lift the drill.
• To reduce the risk of back injury, hold
the tool close to your body when lifting.
Bend your knees so you can lift with your
legs, not your back. Lift by using the
transportation/lifting handle.
• Never carry the Magnetic Drill by the power
cord. Carrying the Magnetic Drill by the
power cord could cause damage to the
insulation or the wire connections resulting
in electric shock or fire.
• Before moving the Magnetic Drill tighten
the auxiliary slide locking screw to guard
against sudden unexpected movement.
• Lock the Drilling Head in its lowest position.
(9.3)
2) BEFORE USING THE MAGNETIC DRILL.
• Check the mains cord and plug for any damage.
If damaged it must be replaced before use.
• Check the complete machine for any signs
of damage. If the machine is damaged it
must not be used until it has been repaired.
• Check the security and condition of the
guard. This machine must not be used
without the guard being fitted.
• Ensure that the feed handles are
attached securely.
• Check that the dovetail slide is correctly
adjusted and operates smoothly without
any binding or excessive sideways
movement. The cutting head should not
fall freely under its own weight.
• Check the condition of the webbing safety
strap and adjustable buckle for any signs
of damage or fraying. If damaged it must
be replaced.
• Check that the secondary/auxiliary slide is
securely locked by the locking lever.
