Work area
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas increase the change of
accidents;
2. Do not operate a magnetic drilling machine in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. A magnetic drilling machine may create sparks
which could ignite the dust or fumes;
3. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a magnetic drilling machine.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
1. A magnetic drilling machine plug must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not us any adapter plugs;
2. 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;
3. Do not expose the magnetic drilling machine to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
machine will increase the risk of electric shock;
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the magnetic drilling machine or pull the
plug from an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock;
5. When operating a magnetic drilling machine, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use,
this reduces the risk of electric shock;
6. If operating a magnetic drilling machine in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD), this reduces the risk of electric shock.
