SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND REGULATIONS
Always use safety chain. Mounting can release.
The magnet’s adhesion depends on the thickness of the work piece. Always ensure that the work piece is a
minimum of 12mm (7/16 in.) thick. If it is not, then use a piece of steel plate at least 12mm thick and larger than
the magnet below the work piece to supplement the magnetic adhesion.
Metal chips and other debris will seriously hamper magnetic adhesion. Always ensure that the magnet is
clean and free of rust and scale.
Other units used on the same receptacle will cause uneven voltage that could lead to the magnet
releasing. Always use the tool alone on the receptacle.
It is hazardous to use the drill upside-down. Do not exceed 90 degrees from horizontal.
Avoid the magnet releasing. Ensure that the magnet has properly adhered to the work piece before
beginning drilling.
Avoid operating annular cutters without coolant fluid. Always check coolant level before operating.
Do not operate with dull or damaged cutting tools. This may overload the motor.
Protect the motor. Never allow cutting fluid, water, or other contaminants to enter the motor.
Metal chips are often very sharp and hot. Never touch them with bare hands. Clean up with a magnetic chip
collector and a chip hook or other appropriate tool. When drilling stacked work materials, always stop to clear
the slug after the first layer is drilled.
CAUTION: NEVER position machine on a work piece between the electrode and the ground of any arc
type welder. Damage to the machine will result, as the welder will ground through the machine’s ground
cable.
WARNING: Do not operate the machine on a workpiece which is being welded on at the same time. This
may lead to damage to the machine and possible injury.
WARNING: NEVER attempt to use machine with incorrect current or abnormally low voltage. Check
