Important Safety Instructions
23. 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).
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
counterclockwise. Should the cutter become jammed in
the work, stop the unit immediately to prevent personal
injury.
Disconnect the drill from the power supply and
loosen jammed cutter by turning the arbor counterclock
wise. Never attempt to free the jammed cutter by starting
the motor. Service at authorized repair center only.
24. 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 acci-
dent or injury.
25. Operating Near Welding Equipment
When operating your Magnetic Drill near an arc welder,
it is important that they are connected to the same Earth
Ground. If they are not, severe damage to the unit,
particularly the power cord, could occur. This could
also result in personal injury to the operator.
26. Notice
This unit is an Industrial Portable tool and is not designed
for production. If this product is used as a production unit,
internal gear failure could occur and cause serious
damage.
27. Circuit Breaker
Changing of the circuit breaker to a higher amp rated
breaker, or by-passing the circuit breaker is not
recommended and is cause for cancelation of the
product warranty.
28. Circuit Breaker Operation
The circuit breaker is a thermal circuit breaker. When it
reaches the higher temperature rating it will trip and cause
the unit to shut down. This is a protection device and can
be reset after 5 to 10 seconds of cool down period. To
reset the circuit breaker, press the breaker button back in.
If it does not reset, let the unit cool a little longer until you
can push the button in and it stays in position.
