liquids, gases or dust. Drilling machine may create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a battery drilling machine. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
4. Do not expose drilling machines to rain or wet conditions.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when using a drilling machine. Do not
use machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating magnetic drilling machines may result in serious personal injury.

and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
3. Avoid accidental starting.
4. Never place hands, fingers, gloves or clothing near cutting area or rotating machine parts.
5. Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the machine on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.
