IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!

WHEN USING ELECTRICAL TOOLS,BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED

TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE

READ AND SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

1. Keep Work Area Clean

• Cluttered areas and benches increase risk of injuries.

2. Consider Work Area Environment

• Do not expose power tools to rain.

• Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations.

• Keep work area well lit.

• Do not use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.

3. Guard Against Electric Shock

• Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For example: pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerator enclosures.

, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND PERSONAL INJURY .

4. Keep Children Away

• Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord.

• All visitors should be kept away from work area.

5. Store Idle Tools

• When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, high and locked-up place, out of reach of children.

6. Do Not Force Tool

• It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.

7. Use Right Tool

• Do not force a small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool.

• Do not use tool for unintended purpose. For example: Do not use a circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.

8. Dress Properly

• Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. They can be caught in moving parts.

• Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors.

• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

• Always wear safety glasses

• Use face or dust mask if necessary

• Use hearing protection

9. Do Not Abuse Electrical Cord

• Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle.

• Keep cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.

10. Secure Work

• Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.

11. Do Not Overreach

• Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

12. Maintain Tools With Care

• Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance.

• Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

• Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility.

• Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged.

• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

13. Disconnect Tools

• Unplug when not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories, such as cutters.

14. Remove Adjusting Keys And Wrenches

• Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

15. Avoid Unintentional Starting

• Do not carry a plugged-in tool. Always disconnect from power source before moving.

• Be sure switches are off before connecting to a power source.

16. Outdoor Use Of Extension Cords

• When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.

17. Stay Alert

• Watch

• Do not use when taking medications that may cause drowsiness.

what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.

18. Check Damaged Parts

• Before further use of the tool, any damaged parts should be repaired and performance verified prior to operation.

• Check alignment of moving parts, binding of parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions
that may affect its operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center.

• Do not use this tool if switches do not turn it on and off. Have defective switches replaced by authorized
service center.

19. Use Cutter Guard
Always use cutter guard supplied with machine to reduce the risk of injury. (refer fig. 1)

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

Prior to use check condition of the power cord, which has to be free of any cuts, or similar damages.

Attention!: This unit has a class one of insulation and
absolutely requires the power source
to be equipped with a protection circuit.

Power source should be protected with the difference-current circuit cut-out and protected with a 10A fuse - for 230V.
At building sites, power should be supplied from a separation transformer such as Type AVM, with minimum power of
2000 VA and with second class protection.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electrical shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet
is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with tool. Never remove
the grounding prong from the plug. If the cord or plug is damaged, have it
repaired before using. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. The Holemaker must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes
and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look similar to those in Figure A.
If in doubt of proper grounding, call a qualified electrician.

WARNING!

DO NOT USE HOLEMAKER DRILLING MACHINES ON SURFACES OR MATERIALS BEING

WELDED

. DOING SO CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE DRILLING MACHINE.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the
tool’s plug. Replace or repair damaged cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. See table for the correct size to use
depending on cord
gauge number, the heavier the cord.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read and follow operator’s manual thoroughly.

2. DO NOT touch rotating cutter or parts.

3. Always stop machine completely and unplug from power source before changing cutters, clearing swarf,
refilling lubrication or performing adjustments.

4. Never wear loose clothing or gloves when working near cutting area or machine arbor.

5. Always wear eye protection. Any tool can shatter.

6. Always use safety chain or strap provided with machine.

7. Always use proper tooling. Keep cutters securely fastened.

8. DO NOT use dull or broken cutters.

9. Beware of ejected slugs at end of cut. They become HOT during the cut.

10. Keep all safety features functioning and working properly.

11. Keep bottom of magnet burr free and clear of chips and debris.

12. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, DO NOT remove or alter electrical panels or use machine in damp
areas.

13. Use only authorized service centers for repairs.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU DRILL

1. Type of material to be drilled, Brinnell or Rockwell hardness, material thickness and position should all be

determined to ensure proper selection of cutting tools.

2. Remove any excessive mill scale or rust from surface to be drilled.

3. When drilling thin materials,

magnet area to increase magnetic holding force.

4. Material that has been flame cut may become heat treated and therefore difficult to drill. Avoid drilling near such

areas whenever possible.

5. Special cutter lubricant is available for using the Holemaker and annular cutters in the horizontal

position. Consult you distributor for more information.

Caution: Do not drill on material where welding is also simultaneously being performed. Drilling machine will
be damaged.

Caution: Powering drilling machine from generator without proper surge protection device between
generator

The Holemaker Pro 40 is not designed for use on steel thinner than 3/8” or 10mm, as the magnet’s adhesive
power would be significantly reduced which can cause machines failure or individuals injury.
The machines built in “Smart Magnet Technology” will detect insufficient magnetic adhesion, and will
cause the machines motor on/off button to not engage. Although it is not recommended, this feature can
be bypassed by following the attached “Smart Magnet Technology Bypass” instruction leaflet.
