Observe the following safety precautions to avoid injuring
yourself and/or others:
►Operate the machine only with the protective equipment
stipulated in these operating instructions (see section
Personal protective equipment).
►Do not wear protective gloves when the machine is running.
A glove can be caught by the drilling machine and torn off
the hand. Risk of losing one or more ngers.
►Remove loose jewellery before beginning work. Wear a hair
net if you have long hair.
►Always switch off the machine before changing tools,
performing maintenance or cleaning. Wait until the machine
has come to a complete standstill.
►Always remove the plug from the mains socket before
changing tools, cleaning or performing maintenance, in
order to avoid unintentional starting of the machine.
►Do not put your hand into the machine while it is in
operation. Remove shavings only when the machine is at a
standstill. Wear protective gloves when removing swarf.
►When working on scaffolding, the operator must be secured
with a safety belt as the machine can oscillate dangerously
in the event of interruption to the power supply.
►Check for secure clamping of the electromagnets on the
substrate before every use (see section Preparing).
►Secure the machine with the safety belt supplied when
working from an inclined or vertical position or during
overhead work. The machine could fall down if the magnet is
loosened or the power fails.
►Check that the tool is tightened securely before using (see
section Inserting the tool).
►Do not allow the connecting cable to hang over edges
(danger of tripping).

►The machine stops automatically when the magnetic clamp
is switched off or in the event of interruption to the power
supply.
In order to prevent the machine from starting unexpectedly after
switching the magnetic clamp on again or after reconnection
following interruption to the power supply ("restart protection"), the
machine must be switched on again using the ON/OFF switch.

The magnet's clamping force satises the minimum
requirements. The machine cane used.
■Magnet indicator lights up RED:
Insufcient magnet clamping force. Do not operate the

The magnet clamping force is dependent on the condition of the
substrate. The clamping force is signicantly reduced by paint,
zinc and scale coatings and rust.
The substrate must satisfy the following conditions in order to
achieve sufcient magnet clamping force:
■The substrate must be magnetic.
■The clamping surface and the magnetic foot (15) must be
clean and grease-free.
■The clamping surface must be completely smooth and level.
NOTE
►Clean the substrate and the magnetic foot (15) of the
machine before use.
►Remove any unevenness and loose rust from the substrate.
►CS Unitec offers special holding devices in its range of
accessories.
The best clamping effect is obtained on low-carbon steel substrate
with a thickness of at least 3/4" (20 mm).
