INTENDED OF USE OF POWER TOOL
This power tool is intended to be used for drilling holes with annular cutters, twist drills,
counterbores, countersinks and step drills in an industrial environment.
The machine is meant to be held onto a magnetisable surface using its electro-magnetic
base.
The power tool should be used in a weather protected environment and be used with the
accessories provided or Powerbor recommended accessories only.
The power tool can be used vertically, horizontally and upside down, provided the
magnetic adhesion and work environment allow.
Cutting paste should be used rather than cutting fluid when using the machine in the
upside down position to prevent ingress of fluids into the electrical system.
PROHIBITED USE OF POWER TOOL
This power tool should NEVER be used without a ground or protective earth connection.
This power tool should NOT be used in a potentially explosive environment.
This power tool should NOT be use in a wet or humid environment where water could be
drawn into the power tools cooling and ventilation system.
If the power tool is used in the upside down position, cutting fluids should not be used to
prevent ingress of fluids into the electrical system, cutting paste should be used instead.
This power tool should never be positioned on a workpiece between the electrode and
ground of an arc type welder. Damage to the machine will result as the welder will ground
through the power tools ground or earth cable.
This power tool should not be used where the voltage is abnormally lower than the rated
voltage, subject to voltage tolerances. Check the power tool rating plate, check the
voltage available.
Operating on a lower than rated voltage will result in the electro magnet being at reduced
power and the machine may become insecure whilst drilling.
LIFTING HANDLES - TRANSPORTATION
When lifting the tool
the lifting handles shown
in the diagram on the
right should be used.
The drill unit should be
lowered to its lowest
position for improved
stability.
Under no circumstances
should the motor cable
be used for lifting the
power tool.
