medication. A moment of inattention while operating a magnetic drilling machine may result
in serious personal injury;
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts;
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the switch is off before plugging the machine in. Carrying a
magnetic drilling machine with your finger on the switch or plugging in a magnetic drilling
machine that has the switch on increases the change of accidents;
4. Never place hands, fingers, gloves or clothing near drilling area or rotating machine parts;
5. Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the machine on. A wrench or a key that is
left attached to a rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury;
6. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the magnetic drilling machine in unexpected situations;
7. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat and hearing protection must be used for optimal safety;

Machine use and care
1. When using the machine on non-horizontal surfaces, you must use cutting paste. Do not use
oil because the oil can drip into the motor unit;
2. While operating the machine, the annular cutter must be cooled and lubricated with high
quality cutting lubricants;
3. Always remove the slug from the annular cutter after each hole.
Caution
; the slug may be
hot;
4. Use clamps or other practical solutions to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control;
5. Do not use the machine when the switch does not turn it on or off. Any machine that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired;
6. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the tool accidentally;
7. Store your magnetic drilling machine out of reach for children and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users;
8. Maintain your machine with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to break and are easier to control;
9. Check for misalignment of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may
affect the machine’s operation. If you detect damage have the machine serviced before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools;
10. Only use accessories that are recommended by Euroboor for your machine model.
Accessories that are suitable for one machine may become hazardous when used on another
machine.
