1.2 Specific safety information
• 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 safety strap or chain
• The magnetic drilling machine is optimized for use on steel starting with a thickness starting
3.5 mm with zero air gap between the magnet surface and the mounting surface. Keep the air
gap to a minimum by cleaning the surface; this will affect the performance of the magnets
significantly.
• The maximum allowable tip force of the magnetic drilling machine will increase with the
thickness and type of material; air gaps, surface coatings and debris can reduce this value.
• 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 switch on the machine until it has been mounted and installed according to these
instructions;
• Do not switch on the machine before having checked that the magnetic stand has been
tightened firmly to the mounting surface with both magnet arrays;
• 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
switched on;
• Before switching on the machine, make sure all accessories have 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.
Always try to reduce these risks as much as possible.
