Fitting the safety chain
1. Pass the safety chain through the frame grip opening;
2. Wrap the chain around the workpiece;
3. Securely close the chain using the lock.
WARNING: Always use the safety chain when drilling vertically and/or up-side-down. The
safety chain does not replace the magnetic force of the magnetic drilling machine: it is simply
used to secure against falling in the event of a magnet malfunction.

fixation devices, obtainable as accessories from Euroboor, e. g. suction plate, vacuum plate or pipe-
