15. DoNotOverreach
Keep proper footing and balance at all time.
16. Maintain Tools With Care
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer
performance.
Do not use dull or broken Rotabroach Cutters.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged,
have repaired by authorized service facility.
Inspect extension cords periodically and, if damaged,
have repaired by authorized service facility.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease.
17. Disconnect Tools
Disconnect when not in use, before servicing, and when
changing Rotabroach Cutters or accessories.
18. Remove Adjusting Keys and Wrenches
Form a habit of checking to see that keys and
wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
19. Check Damaged Parts
Before further use of the drill, a part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center unless otherwise
indicated elsewhere in this operator manual. Do not
operate tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
20. Stay Alert
Watch what you are doing.
Use common sense.
Do not operate tool when you are tired.
Have defective switches replaced by authorized service
center.
21. Outdoor Use Extension Cords
When tool is used outdoors, use only extension
cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
22. AdditionalSafetyPrecautions
Spindle and cutter should never be used as a hand-
hold.
Keep hands and clothing away from all moving parts.
Do not use Rotabroach Cutters where ejected slug
might cause injury (slug ejected at end of cut).
Be sure that all safety devices are properly adjusted
and in use. Also, adhere to all operating instruc-
tions.
Do not drill through any surface that may contain live
electrical wiring. Drilling into a live wire could cause
exposed metal parts of the drill to be made live.
Remove chips wrapped around Rotabroach Cutter
and arbor after each hole. With motor off and
power disconnected, grasp chips with leather gloved
hand or pliers and pull while rotating counter-
clockwise.
Should the cutter become jammed in the work, stop
the unit immediately to prevent personal injury.
Disconnect the drill from the power supply and loosen
jammed cutter by turning the arbor counterclockwise.
Never attempt to free the jammed cutter by starting the
motor.
Service at authorized repair center only.
23. Non-Conforming Cutting Tools
Your Magnetic Drill is designed to use Hougen
Rotabroach Cutters. The use of drilling tools having
different shank styles is not recommended as they may
not tighten securely in the drill arbor with risk of acci-
dent or injury.
24. Operating Near Welding Equipment
When operating your Magnetic Drill near an arc welder,
it is important that they are connected to the same Earth
Ground. If they are not, severe damage to the unit,
particularly the power cord, could occur. This could
also result in personal injury to the operator.
25. SafeElectricalConnection
Wet electrical connections are
shock hazards. To prevent the
cutting fluid from traveling along
the cord and contacting the plug
or power outlet, tie a drip loop as
shown at right. Also elevate
extension cords or gang box
connections.
