Note: The vibration measurement was made
under standard conditions in accordance with:
BS EN 61029-1:2009
The declared vibration total value has been
measured in accordance with a standard test
method and may be used for comparing one
tool with another.
The declared vibration total value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
(1.7)
VIBRATION
WARNING: When using this machine the
operator can be exposed to high levels of
vibration transmitted to the hand and arm.
It is possible that the operator could develop
“Vibration white finger disease” (Raynaud
syndrome). This condition can reduce the
sensitivity of the hand to temperature as well
as producing general numbness. Prolonged or
regular users of this machine should monitor
the condition of their hands and fingers closely.
If any of the symptoms become evident, seek
immediate medical advice.
• The measurement and assessment of
human exposure to hand-transmitted
vibration in the workplace is given in:
BS EN ISO 5349-1:2001 and
BS EN ISO 5349-2:2002
• Many factors can influence the actual
vibration level during operation e.g. the
work surfaces, condition and orientation
and the type and condition of the machine
being used. Before each use, such factors
should be assessed, and where possible,
appropriate working practices adopted.
Managing these factors can help reduce
the effects of vibration:
Handling
• Handle the machine with care,
allowing the machine to do the work.
• Avoid using excessive physical effort on
any of the machine’s controls.
• Consider your security and stability,
and the orientation of the machine
during use.
Work Surface
• Consider the work surface material;
its condition, density, strength,
rigidity and orientation.
WARNING: The vibration emission during
actual use of the power tool can differ from
the declared total value depending on the
ways in which the tool is used. The need
to identify safety measures and to protect
the operator are based on an estimation
of exposure in the actual conditions of use
(taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle, such as the times the tool is switched
off, when it is running idle, in addition to
trigger time).

INTENDED USE
• This power tool is intended to be used for
drilling holes with annular cutters and twist
drills in an industrial environment.
• The machine is designed to be held
onto a ferrous surface using its
electromagnetic base.
• This power tool should be used in a
weather protected environment, and be
used with the accessories provided, or
Evolution Power Tools recommended
accessories only.
• The power tool can be used vertically,
horizontally and in an inverted position,
provided the magnetic adhesion and work
environment allow.

WARNING: To prevent ingress of fluids into
the electrical system, cutting paste should be
used rather than cutting fluid when using the
machine in the inverted position.
(9.14)
PROHIBITED USES
• This power tool should never be used without
a ground or protective earth connection.
• This power tool should not be used in a
potentially explosive environment.
• This power tool should not be used in a wet
or humid environment where water could
be drawn into the power tools cooling and
ventilation system.
• If the power tool is used in the inverted or
horizontal position, cutting fluids should
not be used to prevent ingress of fluids into
the electrical system. Cutting paste should
be used instead.
• This power tool should never be positioned
on a work piece between the electrode and
ground of an arc type welder. Damage to
the machine will result as the welder will
ground through the power tools ground or
earth cable.
• This power tool should not be used
where the voltage is abnormally lower
than the rated voltage, subject to voltage
tolerances. Check the power tool rating
plate, check the voltage available.
WARNING: Operating on a lower than rated
voltage will result in the electro magnet
being at reduced power and the machine may
become insecure whilst cutting.
(1.13)
WARNING: This machine is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction
concerning the safe use of the machine by a
person responsible for their safety and who is
competent in its safe use.
Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not have access to, and are not
allowed to play with, this machine.
(1.14)
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
This machine is fitted with the correct moulded
plug and mains lead for the designated market.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by a specific cord or assembly available
from the manufacturers or its service agent.
(1.15)
OUTDOOR USE
WARNING: For your protection, if this tool is
to be used outdoors it should not be exposed
to rain, or used in damp locations. Do not place
the tool on damp surfaces. Use a clean, dry
workbench if available. For added protection
use a residual current device (R.C.D.) that will
interrupt the supply if the leakage current to
earth exceeds 30mA for 30ms. Always check
the operation of the residual current device
(R.C.D.) before using the machine.
If an extension cable is required it must be a
suitable type for use outdoors and so labelled.
The manufacturer’s instructions should be
followed when using an extension cable.

POWER TOOL GENERAL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(These General Power Tool Safety Instructions
are as specified in BS EN 60745-1:2009 & EN
61029-1:2009)
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/ or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions
for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
(2.2)
1) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Work area safety]
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gasses or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away
while operating power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
(2.3)
2) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Electrical Safety]
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as tubes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
(2.4)
3) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Personal Safety].
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use a power tool
while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust masks, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off position before
connecting to power source and or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising the power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or key left attached to a rotating part
of a power tool may result in personal injury .
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure that these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
