Do not use this power tool before you have thoroughly read and completely understood this
Instruction Manual and the “General Safety Instructions”, including the figures, specifications, safety
regulations and the signs indicating DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION.
WARNING:
When using electrical tools basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and personal injury including following.
Please also observe the relevant national industrial safety regulations. Non-observance of the safety
instructions in the said documentation can lead to an electric shock, burns and/or severe injuries.
This Instruction Manual and the “General Safety Instructions” should be kept for later use and
enclosed with the power tool, should it be passed on or sold.
Work Area
1.
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2.
Do not operate magnetic drilling machine in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Magnetic drilling machine may create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
3.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a magnetic drilling machine.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
1.
Magnetic drilling machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not us any adapter plugs.
2.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
3.
Do not expose magnetic drilling machines to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
machine will increase the risk of electric shock.
4.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the magnetic drilling machine or pull the
plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5.
When operating a magnetic drilling machine, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
6.
If operating a magnetic drilling machine in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when using a magnetic 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.
2.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
3.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying magnetic drilling
machines with your finger on the switch or plugging in magnetic drilling machines that have
the switch on invites accidents.
