STORE THE PILLAR DRILL SAFELY WHEN NOT IN USE: The pillar drill should be stored in a
dry, locked cupboard wherever possible and out of the reach of children.
WEAR THE CORRECT CLOTHING: Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, rings, bracelets,
or other jewellery, which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recom-
mended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Roll long sleeves up
above the elbow.
USE SAFETY CLOTHING / EQUIPMENT: Wear CE approved safety goggles at all times,
normal spectacles only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses. A
face or dust mask should be worn if the operation is dusty and ear protectors (plugs or
muffs) should be worn, particularly during extended periods of operation.
PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK: When working with the pillar drill, avoid
contact with any earthed items (e.g. pipes, radiators, hobs and refrigerators, etc.). It is
advisable wherever possible to use an RCD (residual current device) at the mains
socket.
STAY ALERT: Always watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not oper-
ate the pillar drill when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
DISCONNECT THE PILLAR DRILL FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY: When not in use, before ser-
vicing and when changing accessories such as drill bits etc.
AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING: Make sure the switch is in the OFF position before
connecting the drill to the mains supply.
NEVER LEAVE THE DRILL RUNNING / CONNECTED WHILST UNATTENDED: Turn the drill off
and disconnect it from the mains supply between jobs. Do not leave the drill until it
comes to a complete stop.
DO NOT ABUSE THE MAINS LEAD: Never attempt to move the drill by the mains lead or
pull it to remove the plug from the mains socket. Keep the mains lead away from
heat, oil and sharp edges. If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid un-
wanted hazards.
CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS: Before every use of the drill, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate correctly and
perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, free running of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other conditions that may affect its opera-
tion. A guard or other part that is damaged should be correctly repaired or replaced
by an authorised service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual.
Have defective switches replaced by an authorised service agent. Do not use the drill
if the switch does not turn it on and off.
KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE: And in full working order.
MAINTAIN THE PILLAR DRILL WITH CARE: Keep bits sharp and clean for the best and
safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. All
extension cables must be checked at regular intervals and replaced if damaged.
Always keep the hand grip/s on the drill clean, dry and free of oil and grease.
USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES: Consult this user manual, your distributor or
SIP directly for recommended accessories. Follow the instructions that accompany the
