SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Magnetic mounting can release, so always use a
safety chain.
1.
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 workpiece to
supplement the magnetic adhesion.
2.
Metal chips and other debris will seriously
hamper magnetic adhesion. Always ensure
that the magnet is clean.
3.
Other units used on the same receptacle
will cause uneven voltage which could lead
to the magnet releasing. Always use the tool
alone on the receptacle.
4.
It is hazardous to use the drill upside-down.
Do not exceed 90 degrees from horizontal.
5.
Avoid the magnet releasing. Ensure that the
magnet has properly adhered to the work
piece before beginning drilling.
6.
Avoid operating annular cutters without
coolant fluid. Always check coolant level
before operating.
7.
Do not operate with dull or damaged
cutting tools. This may overload the motor.
8.
Protect the motor. Never allow coolant fluid,
water, or other contaminants to enter the
motor.
9.
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.
CAUTION: NEVER position machine on a
workpiece 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: NEVER attempt to use machine with
incorrect current or abnormally low voltage.
Check machine nameplate to ensure that correct
voltage and Hz are used.
ASSEMBLY
COOLANT TANK assembly required. First attach
clear tube to the bottom of the coolant tank. To do
this, first loosen the nut and slide nut onto the tube.
Then slide tube onto the nipple. Then tighten the
nut.
Slide tank hanger over the screw on the upper right
hand side of slide and tighten.
Finally insert the other end of the tube into the
quick-release connector in the gearbox. Just directly
push in to install. (To remove, first firmly push the
red collar of the connector and pull the tube out.)
Cutting coolant fluid is always required when using
annular cutters. Open tank cover and fill. Check
coolant fluid level often. Keep coolant tap closed
when not in use.
Chip guard must be used. To attach the chip
guard, use the supplied butterfly bolts to bolt to the
magnet. It is not necessary to remove guard to
clean chips. Simply raise guard to its upper position.
Safety chain must be used. Loop chain around the
work piece and feed through the machine’s handle
and clip in place.
