ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR MAGNETIC DRILLING MACHINES
•
Keep your fingers well out of the drill area;
•
Avoid touching the drilled core that is automatically ejected by the centering pin when the
working procedure is finished. Contact with the core when it is hot, or if it falls, can cause
personal injuries;
•
Always use the drill guard. Before turning on machine ensure the guard is closed securely;
•
Always use the safety strap;
•
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 irregularly 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 turn on the machine until it has been mounted and installed according to these
instructions;
•
Do not turn on the machine before having checked that the magnetic stand has been
tightened firmly to the mounting surface;
•
Adjust the table so cutter does not extend into the work piece before drilling. Do not perform
any design, assembly or construction activities on the work piece while the machine is turned
on;
•
Before turning on the machine, make sure the accessory has been mounted correctly;
•
Always use the recommended speed for the accessories and the material;
•
Do not use the machine on the same work piece on which electric welders are being used;
•
Use only an appropriate cutting fluid. We offer a range of premium cutting oils and lubricants
which are specially developed and selected for optimum performance and maximum tool
life;
•
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 chuck guard operates properly;
•
Ensure that metal chips or resinous residue cannot lead to blockage of the function;
•
In case of jammed cutter disconnect the machine from the power supply, remove the reason
for the jam before turning on the machine again.
Residual Risks
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the implementation of safety
devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided.
These are:
•
Impairment of hearing
•
Risk of personal injury from flying particles
•
Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot during operation
•
Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
