ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR MAGNETIC DRILLING MACHINES
•Keep your fingers well out of the drill 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 turning 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 thickness starting
from 10 mm, 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 turn on the machine until it has been mounted and installed according to these
instructions;
•Do not turn on the machine before having checked that the magnetic stand has been
tightened firmly 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 turned on;
•Before turning on the machine, make sure the accessory has 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 movable chuck guard operates properly; Use Guard to protect
user from flying chips and debris, and to protect from entry to moving spindle and
tool. Switch off motor to clear swarf build up during the cut.
•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.
•Magnetic drills, pillar drills, and similar drill press equipment should have clear and
unambiguous emergency stop features in accordance with current CE Markings
and Directives
•Do not touch rotating tools, spindles, arbors or adaptors
