INTENDED USE The intended use of this magnetic drill is to drill holes in ferrous metals. The magnet is used to

petrochemical, and any other applications when drilling ferrous metal. Any deviation from its intended use will
not be covered by warranty.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Work area 1.Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and
dark areas invite accidents. 2.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. 3.Keep
bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY: 1.Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the user. 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.
Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock. 4. 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. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock. 5. 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 electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY: 1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. 2. 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. 3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before
plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites
accidents. 4. 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. 5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations. 6. Use safety
equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, or hearing protection must be
used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE: 1.Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control. 2.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. 3.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. 4.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 starting
the tool accidentally. 5.Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users. 6.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. 7.Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage 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.
8.Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.
