Magnetic Drill specific safety information
•
Keep your fingers well out of the drill/cutter area.
•
Avoid touching the drilled core that is automatically ejected by the centering pin
when the working procedure is finished. Contact with the core when it is hot, or if it
falls, can cause personal injuries.
•
Always use the drill guard. Before switching on machine ensure the guard is closed
securely.
•
Always use the safety strap.
•
The magnetic drilling machine is suitable for use on steel with a minimum thickness
of 10mm, with zero air gap between the magnet core surface and the mounting
surface. Curvature, coats of paint and surface irregularities will create an air gap.
Keep the air gap to a minimum.
•
Always place the machine on a flat surface.
•
Do not clamp the magnetic drilling machine on small or irregularly shaped objects.
•
Always place the machine on a surface that is clear of shavings, chips, swarf and
surface dirt.
•
Keep the magnet clean and free of debris and swarf.
•
Do not switch on the machine until it has been securely mounted and installed
according to these instructions.
•
Do not switch on the machine before having checked that the magnetic stand has
been tightened firmly and securely to the mounting surface.
•
Adjust the table so cutter does not extend into the work piece before drilling. Do not
perform any design, assembly or construction activities on the work piece while the
machine is switched on.
•
Before switching on the machine, make sure all accessories have been mounted
correctly.
•
Always use the recommended speed for the accessories and the material.
•
Do not use the machine on the same work piece on which electric welders are being
used.
•
Use only an appropriate cutting fluid. We offer a range of premium cutting oils and
lubricants which are specially developed and selected for optimum performance and
maximum tool life.
•
Do not use liquid cutting fluids while drilling vertically or overhead. Dip the cutter in
cutting paste or apply an appropriate spray for these applications.
•
Do not pour cutting fluid into the reservoir while it is mounted in the bracket. Do not
allow cutting fluid to enter the drill motor.
•
Before use, ensure adjustable cutter guard is fitted correctly and operates properly.
•
Ensure that metal chips or resinous residue cannot lead to blockage of the function.
•
In case of jammed cutter disconnect the machine from the power supply, remove
the reason for the jam before turning on the machine again.
