16. Remove Adjusting Keys and Wrenches
Form a habit of checking to see that keys and wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
17. Check Damaged Parts
All damaged parts should be replaced before drill should be used. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated
elsewhere in this operator manual. Do not operate tool if switch does not turn it on and off.

Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired. Have defective
switches replaced by authorized service center.
20. Additional Safety Precautions
Arbor and cutter should never be used as a hand hold. Keep hands and clothing away from all moving parts.
Do not use Rotabroach Cutters where ejected slug might cause injury (slug ejected at end of cut). Be sure
that all safety devices are properly adjusted and in use. Also, adhere to all operating instructions. Do not drill
through any surface that may contain live electrical wiring. Drilling into a live wire could cause exposed metal
parts of the drill to be made live. Remove chips wrapped around Rotabroach Cutter and arbor after each hole.
With motor off and power disconnected, grasp chips with leather gloved hand or pliers and pull while rotating
counter-clockwise. Should the cutter become jammed in the work, stop the unit immediately to prevent per
sonal injury. Disconnect the drill from the power supply and loosen jammed cutter by turning the arbor counter
clockwise. Never attempt to free the jammed cutter by starting the motor. If service is required contact your
nearest authorize service center.
21. Non-Conforming Cutting Tools
Your Magnetic Drill is designed to use Hougen Rotabroach Cutters. The use of drilling tools having different
shank styles is not recommended as they may not tighten securely in the drill arbor with risk of accident or
injury.
22. Operating Near Welding Equipment
Do not operate your Portable magnetic drill on the same work surface in which an arc welder is working. Severe
damage to the unit, particularly the power cord, could occur. This could also result in personal injury to the
operator.
23. Safe Electrical Connection
Wet electrical connections are shock hazards. To prevent the cutting fluid from traveling along the cord and
contacting the plug or power outlet, tie a drip loop as shown. Also elevate extension cords or gang box
connections.
