COOLANTS AND LUBRICANTS
The use of coolants or lubricants will aid the
cutting process and prolong the life of the
cutter and the machine.
When using coolants or lubricants, ensure
that they do not run down the mains cord to
the mains plug and supply outlet.

extraction equipment (not supplied) should
be employed. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on the use of such equipment.
The operator should also wear a suitable
respiratory protection mask.
PREPARATION AND SETTING UP
Note: The electromagnet employed in these
machines is designed to adhere to ferrous
metallic surfaces only.
Always thoroughly prepare the material

ensuring that it is not damaged and is free of
any chips or swarf from previous use.
WARNING: Attaching these machines to
material where the thickness is less than that
specified in this Instruction Manual could result
in a potentially dangerous situation. Magnetic
performance is progressively reduced as the
material thickness is reduced.

is sufficient magnetic adhesion. Extra care
must be taken when drilling vertically or in
an inverted position, as the sharp swarf and/
or chips created may fall to ground. Always
wear the appropriate PPE (Personal Protective
Equipment).
SAFETY CHAIN OR SAFETY STRAP
Note: These machines are supplied with either
a Safety Chain or a Safety Strap depending
upon market destination. Safety must be
paramount at all times when using these
machines. All safety features must be used.
To prevent possible operator injury the
safety strap or chain must be used during
cutting operations.

the carrying handle. The chain or strap should
also be attached to the work-piece in such
a manner as to prevent the machine from
detaching and falling from the work-piece in
the event of magnet deactivation.
Note: When drilling some very large flat
horizontal plates, the fitting of a safety strap
or chain may not be feasible. If this is the case
consult the responsible person for guidance.
