IMPORTANT: Before turning on
the machine, it is imperative that
the operator understands the inter-
related functions of the SAFETY
SWITCH, MAGNET SWITCHES,
AND MOTOR SWITCHES.
1. Place Magnetic Drill on clean, fl at steel plate that is at
least 10mm or 3/8” thick.
2. Plug unit into proper AC power source.
DO NOT use
with DC power.
3. Locate the Magnet ON / OFF switch and the MOTOR
ON and OFF switches as shown below.
BEFORE INSTALLING CUTTER
MOTOR ON SWITCH — Starts the motor (will not
function unless the magnetic base is energized and the
safety switch is activated).
MOTOR OFF SWITCH — Deactivates motor. Magnetic
base remains energized and safety switch activated.
MAGNET ON / OFF-- Energizes - De-energizes the mag-
netic base. Magnet must be ON to activate the motor.
SAFETY SWITCH — Located in base of drill. Enables
motor operation only when magnet is properly seated on
a clean and fl at work surface. Turns motor off, if drill unit
should lift off the work surface while cutting.
