ENGLISH
d)Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e)Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f)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.
g)If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce
4)POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a)Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b)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.
c)Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d)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 dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e)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 use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f)Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g)Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions 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.
5)SERVICE
a)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.
Additional Specific Safety Rules for Drill Presses
•Keep your fingers well out of the drill area.
•Always use the drill guard. Before turning on machine ensure the guard is closed securely.
•Always use the safety chain.
•The magnetic stand is suitable for use on steel with a thickness starting from 10 mm, with zero air gap between the magnet core surface and the mounting surface. Curvature, coats of paint and surface irregularities will create an air gap. Keep the air gap to a minimum.
•Always place the machine on a flat surface. Do not clamp the stand on small or irregularly shaped objects.
•Always place the machine on a surface that is clear of shavings, chips, swarf and surface dirt.
•Keep the magnet clean and free of debris and swarf.
•Do not turn on the machine until it has been mounted and installed according to these instructions.
•Do not turn on the machine before having checked that the magnetic stand has been tightened firmly to the mounting surface.
•Adjust the table so cutter does not extend into the workpiece before drilling. Do not perform any design, assembly or construction activities on the workpiece while the machine is turned on.
•Before turning on the machine, make sure the accessory has been mounted correctly.
•Always use the recommended speed for the accessories and the material.
•Do not use the machine on the same workpiece on which electric welders are being used.
•Use only an appropriate cutting fluid. Use a general metal cutting coolant diluted with water.
•Do not use liquid cutting fluids while drilling vertically or overhead. Dip the cutter in cutting paste or apply an appropriate spray for these applications.
