OPERATIONAL SAFETY PROCEDURES
•
When using electrical tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, and personal injury.
•
Ensure the magnet is OFF before plugging in the machine.
•
Do NOT use in wet or damp conditions. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.
•
Do NOT use in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or in high risk environments. Failure to do so
may result in personal injury.
•
BEFORE activating the machine, inspect all electrical supply cables (including extension leads), and
replace if damaged. DO NOT use if there are any signs of damage.
•
Only use extension cables approved for site conditions.
•
BEFORE activating the machine, ALWAYS check the correct function of all operational systems,
switches, magnet etc.
•
BEFORE operating, the machine MUST be securely restrained to a fixed independent feature (by using
a safety strap, or other means) to reduce the potential free movement, should the magnet become
detached from the work piece. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.
•
ALWAYS wear approved eye protectors, ear defenders and recommended PPE at ALL times when
operating the machine.
•
Disconnect from power source when changing cutters or working on the machine.
•
Cutters and chips are sharp, ALWAYS ensure that hands are adequately protected when changing
cutters or removing chips. Use a tool or brush where necessary to remove any chips or the cutter from
the arbor.
•
Before operating the machine, ALWAYS ensure cutter-retaining screws are secured tightly.
•
Regularly clear the work area and machine of chips and dirt, paying particular attention to the
underside of the magnet base.
•
ALWAYS remove tie, rings, watches and any loose adornments that might entangle with the rotating
machinery before operating.
•
ALWAYS ensure that long hair is securely enclosed by an approved restraint before operating the
machine.
•
Should the cutter become stuck in the work piece, stop the motor immediately to prevent personal
injury. Disconnect from power source and turn arbor to and from.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FREE THE CUTTER BY SWITCHING THE MOTOR ON AND OFF.
Wear safety gloves to remove the cutter from the arbor.
•
If the machine is accidentally dropped, ALWAYS thoroughly examine the machine for signs of damage
and check that it functions correctly BEFORE resuming drilling.
•
Regularly inspect the machine and check for any damaged or loose parts.
•
ALWAYS ensure when using the machine in an inverted position that only the minimum amount of
coolant is used, and that care is taken to ensure that coolant does not enter the motor unit.
•
Cutting tools may shatter, ALWAYS position the guard over the cutter before activating the machine.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury.
•
On completion of the cut, a slug will be ejected. DO NOT operate the machine as the ejected slug may
cause injury.
•
When not in use ALWAYS store the machine in a safe and secure location.
•
ALWAYS ensure that approved CHAMPION authorized repair centers conduct repairs.
