FITTING THE SAFETY GUARD
DRILL GUARD INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure drill unit is isolated from power
supply.
Fit guard to drill as shown.
When drilling, the guard should always be
in contact with the surface being drilled.
As the drill is lowered, the guard will rise
in relation to the drill.
FITTING THE OIL BOTTLE
The cutting oil bottle is held in a sprung
bracket attached to the top of the drill
body. Fit the bracket by removing one of
the cap screws from the top plate and
replace the bolt through the fixing lug on
the bottle bracket, tightening the bolt
enough to allow some radial movement of
the bracket. The coolant tube is a push fit
into the self-seal gland at the base of the
tap and a similar fitting on the lower
arbor bracket.
FITTING THE SAFETY CHAIN
A safety chain should be used wherever
possible as a safety precaution in the event
of a power failure releasing the magnet;
particularly in situations where the machine
is clamped onto a vertical surface or in an
inverted position.
SAFETY CHAIN INSTRUCTIONS
When the machine has been clamped to
the workpiece in the correct position for
drilling, the chain should be fitted at a
secure part of the drill. Then passed
around a substantial
workpiece and fastened securely.
Once the cut is complete, the chain
should be released, and the machine
supported before
disengaged.
