Power Tool USE and Care, Specific Safety Rules

GENERAL SAFETY RULES — FOR ALL POWER TOOLS

WARNING

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, ﬁre and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

16.	Do not force the power tool. Use the
	correct power tool for your applica-
	tion. The correct power tool will do the
	job better and safer at the rate for which
	it was designed.
17.	Do not use the power tool if the switch
	does not turn it on and off.Any power tool
	that cannot be controlled with the switch is
	dangerous and must be repaired.
18.	Disconnect the plug from the power
	source and/or the battery pack from

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

1. Always use safety chain. Mounting

can release when drilling overhead or

on a vertical surface (See “Safety Chain”

under “Operation”).

2. Clean the surface before attaching

the drill stand to the work surface.

Paint, rust, scale, or uneven surfaces

decrease the holding strength or the

magnet. Chips, burrs, dirt and other

foreign matter on the surface of the

magnetic base will also decrease hold-

WORK AREA SAFETY

1.Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite acci- dents.

2.Do not operate power tools in ex- plosive 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 children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distrac- tions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

PERSONAL SAFETY

9.Stay alert, watch what you are do- ing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inﬂuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

10.Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

the power tool before making any

adjustments, changing accessories,

or storing power tools. Such preven-

tive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

19. Store idle power tools out of the

reach of children and do not allow

persons unfamiliar with the power

tool or these instructions to operate

the power tool. Power tools are danger-

ous in the hands of untrained users.

20. Maintain power tools. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts and any

other condition that may affect the

power tool's operation. If damaged,

have the power tool repaired before

ing power.

3. Do not attach magnetic base to

nonmagnetic grades of stainless

steel. The magnetic base will not

hold. The electro magnetic drill press

attaches magnetically to any ferrous

metal. It is designed for use on 1/2 inch

or thicker ferrous stock. Holding power

will decrease on thinner stock. A back

up plate must be used (See “Backing

Plate" under “Operation”).

4. Wet connections are shock hazards.

Prevent cutting ﬂuid from traveling along

the cord and contacting the outlet, ex-

tension cord connections or tool plug.

5. If the plug or connections get wet,

4.Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodiﬁed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

5.Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

6.Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

7.Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplug- ging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

8.When operating a power tool out- doors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of elec- tric shock.

11.Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your ﬁnger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

12.Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotat- ing part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

13.Do not overreach. Keep proper foot- ing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

14.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

15.If devices are provided for the connec- tion of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these de- vices can reduce dust-related hazards.

use. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.

21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to

bind and are easier to control.

22. Use the power tool, accessories and

tool bits etc., in accordance with

these instructions and in the manner

intended for the particular type of

power tool, taking into account the

working conditions and the work to

be performed. Use of the power tool for

operations different from those intended

could result in a hazardous situation.

SERVICE

23.Have your power tool serviced by a qualiﬁed repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

turn power off to the outlet before

unplugging the tool.

6. 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.

7. Use only accessories that are rec-

ommended by the manufacturer for

your model. Accessories that may

be suitable for one tool, may become

hazardous when used on another tool.

8. Hold power tools by insulated grip- ping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make ex- posed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

9.Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

10.Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.
