WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
1. Always secure the machine with the supplied safety chain before starting to
operate, this is to protect the user in case of power failure or breaking loose of the
magnet while in use.

4. Always ensure cutter retaining screws are secure – they sometimes vibrate loose in
use.
5. Regularly clean the work area and machine., remove swarf and dirt, paying
particular attention to the underside of the magnet.
6. With a gloved hand, after switching off the power, remove any swarf which might
have gathered around the cutter and arbor before proceeding to the next hole.
3. Disconnect from the power source when changing cutters or working on the
machine.

9. If the machine is accidentally dropped, always thoroughly examine the machine for
signs of damage and check that it functions correctly before trying to drill a hole.
13. Use the magnetic drilling unit on a clean and flat surface only, to prevent the
machine breaking out because of poor clamping force.
11. Always ensure when using the machine in an inverted position use special cutting
