COOLANTS AND LUBRICANTS
The use of coolants or lubricants will aid the
cutting process and prolong the life of the
cutter and the machine.
• When using coolants or lubricants, ensure
that they do not run down the mains cord to
the mains plug and supply outlet.
• Do not allow coolant or lubricant to enter the
machine’s ventilation openings.
• When using the machine in an inverted
position or on a vertical surface, use cutting
paste instead of a liquid cutting fluid.
• If the machine is to be used to cut material
that may create dust, such as cast iron, dust
extraction equipment (not supplied) should
be employed. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions on the use of such equipment.
The operator should also wear a suitable
respiratory protection mask.
PREPARATION AND SETTING UP
Note:
The electromagnet employed in these
machines is designed to adhere to ferrous
metallic surfaces only.
• Always thoroughly prepare the material
surface before attaching the machine.
• The material surface must be clean, flat and
free from rust, protective coatings, grease or
any other debris such as chips or swarf from
previously drilled holes.
• Check the surface of the magnetic base
ensuring that it is not damaged and is free of
any chips or swarf from previous use.
• Do not use these machines on a structure
where ‘arc’ welding is taking place.
WARNING:
Attaching these machines to
material where the thickness is less than that
specified in this Instruction Manual could result
in a potentially dangerous situation. Magnetic
performance is progressively reduced as the
material thickness is reduced.
DURING CUTTING OPERATIONS
WARNING:
The swarf and the ‘slug’ produced
when drilling holes using an annular cutter will
be hot and sharp.
• When using annular cutters ensure that the
ejected ‘slug’ cannot endanger anyone in the
vicinity.
• If working at height, some form of collection
device to prevent the ejected ‘slug’ from
falling the ground may be necessary.
• Care must be taken with the ejected ‘slug’ as
it will be both hot and sharp. Protective gloves
should be worn when handling a ‘slug’.
• These machines can be used on a vertical
surface or even upside down provided there
is sufficient magnetic adhesion. Extra care
must be taken when drilling vertically or in
an inverted position, as the sharp swarf and/
or chips created may fall to ground. Always
wear the appropriate PPE (Personal Protective
Equipment).
SAFETY CHAIN OR SAFETY STRAP
Note:
These machines are supplied with either
a Safety Chain or a Safety Strap depending
upon market destination. Safety must be
paramount at all times when using these
machines. All safety features must be used.
• To prevent possible operator injury the
safety strap or chain must be used during
cutting operations.
• The safety strap or chain will provide extra
security in the event of supply failure or
electrical malfunction.
• The safety strap or chain should be attached
to the machine preferably passing through
the carrying handle. The chain or strap should
also be attached to the work-piece in such
a manner as to prevent the machine from
detaching and falling from the work-piece in
the event of magnet deactivation.
Note:
When drilling some very large flat
horizontal plates, the fitting of a safety strap
or chain may not be feasible. If this is the case
consult the responsible person for guidance.

GETTING STARTED
UNPACKING
Caution:
This packaging contains sharp
objects. Take care when unpacking. Remove
the machine, together with the accessories
supplied from the packaging. Check carefully
to ensure that the machine is in good condition
and account for all the accessories listed in this
manual. Also make sure that all the accessories
are complete. If any parts are found to be
missing, the machine and its accessories
should be returned together in their original
packaging to the retailer. Do not throw the
packaging away; keep it safe throughout the
guarantee period. Dispose of the packaging
in an environmentally responsible manner.
Recycle if possible. Do not let children play
with empty plastic bags due to the risk of
suffocation.
