WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Work Area Safety
a) Keep your 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 fl ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. 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. Unmodifi ed plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electrical shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Don’t 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 or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp egdges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
outdoor extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of 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.
3. 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
infl uence 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 mask,
non-skid shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Important Safety Instructions
Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and
dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to loose control.
Electrical Safety
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly in-
stalled and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordi-
anaces. Never remove the ground prong or modify the plug in
any way. Do not us any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is prop-
erly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break-
down, grounding is provides a low resistance path to carry electricity
away from the user.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water enter-
ing a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or
pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords increase the risk of eletric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension
cord marked “W-A” or “W”; These cords are rated for outdoor use
and reduce the risk of electrical shock.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when using a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inat-
tention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain
long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switchis off before plugging
in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may
result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unex-
pected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye production. Dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
must be used for appropriate conditions.
Always use safety chain. Mounting can release.
Tool Use and Care
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support
the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the work by
hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application.
The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it is designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the
tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of start-
ing the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of childern and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts, and any other condition that may affect the
tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manu-
facturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair
personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement
parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of
this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maitenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or
injury.
WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below,
may result in electrical shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
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
fi nger on the switch or energizing power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting keys or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key that
is left attached to a rotating part of the 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
jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
i) Always use safety chain. Mounting can release.
4. Power Tool Use and Care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application.
The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it is designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on or off.
Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories or storing
power tools. Such preventative safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidently.

Operating Near Welding Equipment
DO NOT operate this unit on the same work surface that
welding is being performed on. Severe damage to the
unit, particularly the power cord, could occur. This could
also result in personal injury to the operator.
Circuit Breaker (If Applicable)
Changing of the circuit breaker to a higher amp rated breaker, or
bypassing the circuit breaker is not recommended and will void
product warranty.
Circuit Breaker Operation (If Applicable)
The circuit breaker is a thermal breaker. When it reaches the
higher temperature rating it will trip and cause the unit to shut
down. This is a protective device and can be reset after 5 to 10.
To reset the breaker, press the breaker button back in. If it does
not reset, let the unit cool a little longer until you can push the
button in and it stays in position.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A safety chain should ALWAYS be used
whenever operating the drill.
The safety chain prevents the drill unit from falling, in the event of a power
failure or if the magnet breaks loose from the work surface. The safety chain
attaches to the drill by running the chain thru the D-Ring on the back of the unit
and then continuing around the material and/or work surface. Adjust the chain
so it is tight and secure. Please refer to the diagram.

IMPORTANT: Before turning on the machine, it is important that the operator understands the
interrelated functions of the SAFETY SWITCH, MAGNET SWITCH, AND MOTOR SWITCHES.
READ SAFETY SWITCH INDICATOR LIGHT INSTRUCTIONS.
SAFETY SWITCH — Located in base of drill. Enables motor operation only when magnet is properly
seated on a clean and at work surface. Turns motor off if switch detects lift of unit.
MAGNET ON/OFF SWITCH — Energizes and De-energizes the magnetic base and activates the safety
switch. Motor can now be started by pushing the motor START switch.
MOTOR START/STOP SWITCHES — Starts and stops the motor
CONTROL PANEL
SWITCH PLATE
1. Place Magnetic Drill on clean, at steel plate that is at least 3/8" thick.
2. Plug unit into proper AC power source. DO NOT use with DC Power.
3. Locate the Magnet ON and OFF switch and the motor STOP and START switch.
4. NOTE: A loss of power will de-energize the magnetic base and deactivate the motor. When power
is restored, the magnet will reenergize, however, the motor START switch must be depressed
before the motor will start.
OPERATION OF CONTROLS BEFORE INSTALLING HOUGEN CUTTER
English
The Safety Switch Indicator Light is a Standard Safety Feature on Hougen portable
magnetic drills. Its purpose is to inform the user that an unsafe condition exists.
If light is Green:
In normal operation the safety switch light will be green. Motor "On" and "Off" Switches
function normally.
If light is Red:
A condition with the safety switch exists that needs to be corrected. Possible causes:
• Safety Switch is defective. Have drill serviced.
• Uneven work surface or material. Check work surface for atness.
• Dirt or chips under magnet. Clean work surface.
SAFETY SWITCH INDICATOR LIGHT
Material must be a least 3/8" thick. Material thinner than 3/8" will cause a "weak" magnet condition.
HOUGEN MANUFACTURING RECOMMENDS THAT CONDITIONS ARE CORRECTED SO LIGHT IS GREEN.
THIS ALLOWS FOR THE UNIT TO BE OPERATED IN A SAFE MANNER.
For any questions please contact Hougen Manufacturing’s Technical Service at (810) 635-7111.

HMD905 RECOMMENDED RPM’S
450 RPM
7/16" - 1" Dia. (12mm - 25mm)
RPM recommendations are based on using your HMD905 drill with Hougen "12,000-Series" H.S.S.
Cutters. The RPM’s do not represent optimum speeds for any given cutter diameter and
application. For more information refer to Hougen’s Speed & Feed Calculator located on Hougen.com,
or call 1-800-426-7818 for Technical Support.
1. Disconnect from power source and remove T-Handle
wrench from holder at top of drill.
2. Lay drill on its side with feed handles up or be sure Arbor
clears table if unit is in normal operating position.
3. Turn Feed Handles until cutter mounting set screws are
exposed and completely remove the set screws.
4. Insert proper pilot in shank end of Hougen Cutter.
5. Insert Hougen Cutter until  at on cutter shank is aligned
with set screw holes and is exactly perpendicular to axis
of set screw holes.
6. Insert set screws and tighten. Check to be certain that
cutter is secure.

Always remember that the magnet’s holding power is directly related to the workpiece thickness and surface condition. Since magnetic
attraction diminishes with thinner material or rough surfaces, mechanical clamping of drill unit to the workpiece should be used when
cutting thin material (3/8" or less) or material with uneven surfaces.
1. Make sure workpiece and bottom of magnet are free of chips, oil, etc.
2. Verify Safety Switch works properly (See Safety Switch Indicator Light Section
on pg. 5)
3. Position drill by sliding it and gently feeding Arbor so that pilot point is touching
center of hole to be drilled.
4. Secure unit to workpiece with safety chain.
5. Turn magnet "ON" by pressing the magnet ON switch.
6. Turn Feed Handle, raising the cutter until the pilot is above the work surface.
7. Fill coolant reservoir or  ll attached coolant bottle if applicable.
8. Make certain that cutter is clear of workpiece and turn motor "ON" by pressing
the motor START switch.
9. Feed Hougen Cutter slowly into workpiece. Only after cutting path is established
to a depth of about 1/16" can full force be applied to feed handles.
10. Ease up on feed pressure as cutter starts breaking through.
11. At conclusion of cut, turn motor "OFF" by pressing motor STOP switch. Turn Feed
Handles to raise Arbor thereby ejecting the slug if it hasn’t already fallen free.
12. Turn magnet "OFF" by pressing the magnet OFF switch.
13. Disconnect from power source.
14. If necessary, remove chips from cutter and magnet, preferably wearing leather
work gloves and/or with pliers. Disconnect safety chain and you are ready to
move unit to new drilling position.
When drilling, especially in horizontal or
overhead positions, always apply feed
pressure toward the work surface. Never
pull away from the work surface as this can
weaken magnetic holding power.
Use handles
to feed toward
work surface
Never pull
handles away
from work
surface.

COOLANT BOTTLE ASSEMBLY
1. With Magnetic Drill in operating position, turn the
feed handles so that cutter and pilot are above
the work surface.
2. With magnet turned ON & motor OFF,  ll
reservoir by introducing cutting  uid
through slots in Arbor. Cutting fl uid
should not leak out.
3. Test metering capabilities of Arbor/Cutter/Pilot
assembly (magnet ON - motor OFF) feeding the
Arbor gently toward work surface until pilot
is pushed up into Cutter, thus allowing  uid to
 lter down onto work surface through groove
in pilot.
4. For proper lubrication, all  uid in reservoir
should empty onto work surface in no less
than 15 seconds and no longer than 30 seconds.
5. Reservoir holds enough coolant for cutting
approximately one hole.
* This method of using coolant can also be used
for an attached coolant bottle if the bottle is lost.
6. For horizontal or drilling overhead holes, use
Slick-Stik Lubricant.
