Fitting the safety strap
The safety strap should always be used during operation.
Use of the safety strap reduces the risk of personal injury if for some reason there is a loss of
magnetic adhesion and the magnet comes loose from the workpiece (such as loss of power supply).
The purpose of the safety strap is to prevent the machine from falling or spinning should there be a
loss of magnetic adhesion.
The safety strap should NOT be used as an alternative method of clamping to the magnet.

Position the machine on the item to be drilled and switch on the magnet.
Feed the free end of the strap through the strap slot on the machine and around the
workpiece.
Fit the free end through the cam buckle.
Pull on the free end to tighten the strap.
MAKE SURE the safety strap is securely fitted BEFORE using the drill.
