Intended Use

Magnetic drilling machines are typically intended for commercial/industrial use as magnetic base drilling machines for drilling materials with a magnetizable surface using annular cutters and twist drills.

Most magnetic drilling machines can be used horizontally, vertically or overhead using the safety strap provided. HOWEVER it is essential to confirm your machine is capable of the application for which it will be used PRIOR to operation, by consulting the operation manual specific to that machine.

Care should also be taken to note the weather conditions and ambient operating temperature range recommended for each machine.

Only ever use your magnet drilling machine within its stated specifications and limits.

• Only use approved tools and accessories with your magnet drill.
• Do not use magnet drills beyond their stated capacities.
• Machines should NEVER be used for any purpose other than stated.
• Machines should NEVER be used without a protective earth or ground connection.
• DO NOT use magnet drills in a potentially explosive environment.
• DO NOT use magnet drills as a lifting device, the magnetic base is for clamping only.
