mains power supply cannot be interrupted or
compromised accidentally.
• Do not use other appliances on the same
power socket, as any variation in voltage
caused by the connected appliances could
result in the electromagnet deactivating
• Where power is supplied by an 'on site'
generator set, ensure that the generator set
is reliable and well maintained, and that the
fuel tank contains sufficient fuel to allow
completion of the task.
• The application of relevant warning labels is
strongly recommended.
TRANSPORTING AND HANDLING.
Magnetic Drills are heavy machines, and care must
be taken when handling or transporting them.
• When transporting or moving a Magnetic
Drill, always use the carrying handle or other
carrying aids provided.
• Always ensure that the dovetail slide and
drilling head is in its lowest position and
locked in place.
• Do not transport a Magnetic Drill with a
cutter installed.
• If the coolant system is fitted, ensure that
the feed tap is in the 'off' position or that the
coolant system has been drained of coolant
fluid.
• If the Magnetic Drill is to be transported
in a vehicle, ensure that it is laid on its side
and secured to prevent movement. Ideally
transport it inside its blow moulded case (if
provided).
• Do not carry a Magnetic Drill with the mains
cord and plug dragging along the ground
(severe trip hazard). Secure the cord on the
machine before transporting.
• Never attempt to carry or drag the machine
using the mains cord.
Safety Advice
Carrying a Magnetic Drilling System
• Although compact, Magnetic Drilling
Systems are heavy. To reduce the risk of back
injury, enlist competent help whenever you
have to carry or lift a Magnetic Drill.
• Hold the machine close to your body when
lifting. Bend your knees so that you can lift
with your legs not your back. Use the lifting/
carrying handle(s).
• Never attempt to carry a machine by the power
cord. Serious damage will be caused to the cord
connections and insulation. This could result
in electric shock, fire or serious mechanical
malfunction if the machine is used again.
• Lock the drilling head and dovetail slide in its
lowest position to guard against unexpected
movement.
• Tighten all locking screws and check all
ancillary screws for tightness before moving
or carrying the machine.

PRE USE CHECKS

Before every use cycle check:
• The mains plug for any damage. If damage is
evident the plug must be replaced.
• The whole machine for any other signs of
damage. If any damage is evident the machine
must not be used until the damage has been
repaired by a qualified technician using genuine
replacement parts where necessary.
• The security and condition of the safety guard. A
machine must not be used without a serviceable
safety guard fitted.
• That the feed handles are securely attached to
the feed spindle boss.
• That the safety chain or safety strap is fully
serviceable with no damaged links or connectors
(safety chain) or damaged webbing or buckle
(safety strap). If damage is found replace the safety
chain or strap.
• That the dovetail slide is correctly adjusted
and operates smoothly and without any
binding or excessive sideways movement. The
cutting head should not fall freely under its
own weight.
Note: Detailed instructions on how to
check and adjust the dovetail slides of these
machines are given in the Maintenance section
of this Instruction Manual.
