1. Read All Instructions

2. Grounding Instructions

This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The tool is equipped with a
3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding type lug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle. The green (or
green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire
to a live terminal. If your unit is for use on 115V, it has a plug that looks like that shown in sketch (A). If it is for use
on 230V, it has a plug that looks like that shown in sketch (D). An adapter, see sketches (B) and (C), is available
for connecting sketch (A) type plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like, extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box.

Note: Use of a grounding adapter is prohibited in Canada by Part I of the Canadian Electrical Code.

shock, and personal injury, including the following:

IMPORT ANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

3. 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 the conductor size is large enough to prevent excessive
voltage drop which will cause the loss of power and possible motor damage.

4. Consider Work Area Environment

Do not expose tool to rain. Do not use tool in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Do not use tool in
presence of flammable liquids or gases.

5. Guard Against Electric Shock

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

6. Keep Children Away

Do not let visitors contact tool. All visitors should be kept away from work area.

7. Store Idle Tools

When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, secure location — out of reach of children.

8. Use Right Tool

Do not force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Do not use tool for purpose not intended —
for example — do not use a circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.

9. Secure Work

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

10. Always Wear Safety Glasses or Goggles

11. Dress Properly

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They might entangle with spinning chips or get caught in moving parts.
Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear sturdy leather gloves
when working indoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

12. Do Not Abuse Cord

Never carry drill unit by its cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp
edges.

13. Do Not Overreach

Keep proper footing and balance at all time.

14. Maintain Tools With Care

Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Do not use dull or broken Rotabroach Cutters.
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, if damaged, have repaired
by authorized service facility. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Keep handles dry, clean,
and free from oil and grease.

15. Disconnect Tools

When not in use, before servicing, and when changing Rotabroach Cutters or accessories.

16. Remove Adjusting Keys and Wrenches

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

17. Check Damaged Parts

All damaged parts should be replaced before drill should be used. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated
elsewhere in this operator manual. Do not operate tool if switch does not turn it on and off.

18. Stay Alert

Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.Do not operate tool when you are tired. Have defective
switches replaced by authorized service center.

19. Outdoor Use Extension Cords

When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked. Refer to
Table 1 for recommended extension cord gauge.

20. Additional Safety Precautions

Arbor and cutter should never be used as a hand hold. Keep hands and clothing away from all moving parts.
Do not use Rotabroach Cutters where ejected slug might cause injury (slug ejected at end of cut). Be sure
that all safety devices are properly adjusted and in use. Also, adhere to all operating instructions. Do not drill
through any surface that may contain live electrical wiring. Drilling into a live wire could cause exposed metal

parts of the drill to be made live. Remove chips wrapped around Rotabroach Cutter and arbor after each hole.

With motor off and power disconnected, grasp chips with leather gloved hand or pliers and pull while rotating
counter-clockwise. Should the cutter become jammed in the work, stop the unit immediately to prevent per
sonal injury. Disconnect the drill from the power supply and loosen jammed cutter by turning the arbor counter
clockwise. Never attempt to free the jammed cutter by starting the motor. If service is required contact your
nearest authorize service center.

21. Non-Conforming Cutting Tools

Your Magnetic Drill is designed to use Hougen Rotabroach Cutters. The use of drilling tools having different
shank styles is not recommended as they may not tighten securely in the drill arbor with risk of accident or
injury.

22. Operating Near Welding Equipment
Do not operate your Portable magnetic drill on the same work surface in which an arc welder is working. Severe

damage to the unit, particularly the power cord, could occur. This could also result in personal injury to the
operator.

23. Safe Electrical Connection

Wet electrical connections are shock hazards. To prevent the cutting fluid from traveling along the cord and
contacting the plug or power outlet, tie a drip loop as shown. Also elevate extension cords or gang box
connections.

24. Save These Instructions
