SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND REGULATIONS
WARNING: For your own safety, never use coolant containing water while operating at more than a 90
degree from horizontal. Spray-type coolant which do not contain any ingredient of water should be
used !
Always use safety chain. Mounting can release.
The magnet’s adhesion depends on the thickness of the work piece. Always ensure that the work piece is a
minimum of 12mm (7/16 in.) thick. If it is not, then use a piece of steel plate at least12mm thick and larger than
the magnet below the work piece to supplement the magnetic adhesion.
Metal chips and other debris will seriously hamper magnetic adhesion. Always ensure that the magnet is
clean.
Other units used on the same receptacle will cause uneven voltage that could lead to the magnet
releasing. Always use the tool alone on the receptacle.
It is hazardous to use the drill upside-down. Do not exceed 90 degrees from horizontal.
Avoid the magnet releasing. Ensure that the magnet has properly adhered to the work piece before
beginning drilling.
Avoid operating annular cutters without coolant. Always lubricate the cutter and add as needed during the
cut. Always lubricate the cutter and add as needed during the cut.
Do not operate with dull or damaged cutting tools. This may overload the motor.
Protect the motor. Never allow cutting fluid, water, or other contaminants enter the motor.
Metal chips are often very sharp and hot. Never touch them with bare hands. Clean up with a magnetic chip
collector and a chip hook or other appropriate tool.
Chip guard must be used. To attach the chip guard, use the supplied butterfly bolts to bolt to the magnet. It is
not necessary to remove guard to clean chips. Simply raise guard to its upper position.
CAUTION: NEVER position machine on a work piece between the electrode and the ground of any arc
type welder. Damage to the machine will result, as the welder will ground through the machine’s
ground cable.
WARNING: NEVER attempt to use machine with incorrect current or abnormally low voltage. Check
machine nameplate to ensure that correct voltage and Hz are used.
USING THE SAFETY STRAP
The safety strap must always be used.
Loop the strap through the slot above the magnet and around the workpiece. Push on the spring buckle and
