Important Safety 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 plug

to fi t 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. (Refer to Plug Diagram)

Section A

3. Safe Electrical Connection

Your Mag Drill is rated for use on 115VAC (Plug A) or

230V (Plug B) at 50-60Hz. Do not attempt to use drill on

power sources rated other than this. Wet electrical

connections are shock hazards. To prevent the cutting

fl uid from traveling along the cord and contacting the

plug or power outlet, tie a drip loop in the power cord.

Also elevate extension cords or gang box connections.

4. 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

loss of power and possible motor damage.

5. Do Not Force Tool

It will do the job better and faster at the rate for which

it was intended.

6. Keep Work Area Clean

Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

Keep dirt and chips from under the Cutter area.

7. 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 fl ammable liquids or

gases. Disconnect from power source when changing

cutters or maintaining drill.

8. Guard Against Electric Shock

Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For

example: pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator

enclosures.

9. Keep Children Away

Do not let visitors contact tool. All visitors should be

kept away from work area while in use.

When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, and

high or locked-up place — out of reach of children.

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.

Your Mag Drill is designed to use Hougen 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.

Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It is safer than

using your hand and it frees both hands to operate

tool.

Important Safety Instructions - Continued

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They might

entangle with spinning chips or get caught in

moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid foot

wear are recommended when working outdoors.

Wear sturdy leather gloves when working indoors.

Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

Never carry drill unit by its cord or yank it to discon-

nect from receptacle.

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

Keep proper footing and balance at all time.

Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer

performance.

dull or broken Hougen 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.

Disconnect when not in use, before servicing, and

when changing cutters or accessories.

20. Remove Adjusting Keys and Wrenches

Form a habit of checking to see that keys and

wrenches are removed from tool before turning it

on.

21. Check Damaged Parts

Before further use of the drill, a part that is

damaged should be carefully checked to determine

that it will operate properly and perform its intended

function.

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.

24. 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 Hougen Cutters where ejected slug

might cause injury (slug ejected at end of cut).

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 Cutter and arbor after each hole. With motor off

and power disconnected, grasp chips with leather gloved

hand or pliers and pull while rotating counterclockwise.

Should the cutter become jammed in the work, stop the

unit immediately to prevent personal injury. Disconnect the

drill from the power supply and loosen jammed cutter by

turning the arbor counterclockwise. Never attempt to free

the jammed cutter by starting the motor. Service at

authorized repair center only.

25. Operating Near Welding Equipment

DO NOT operate this unit on the same work surface that

welding is being performed on. Severe damage to the

unit, particularly the power cord, could occur. This could

also result in personal injury to the operator.

26. Circuit Breaker (If Applicable)

Changing of the circuit breaker to a higher amp rated

breaker, or bypassing the circuit breaker is not

recommended and is cause for cancelation of the

product warranty.

27. Circuit Breaker Operation (If Applicable)

The circuit breaker is a thermal circuit breaker. When it

reaches the higher temperature rating it will trip and cause

the unit to shut down. This is a protection device and can

be reset after 5 to 10 seconds of cool down period. To

reset the circuit breaker, press the breaker button back in.

If it does not reset, let the unit cool a little longer until you

can push the button in and it stays in position.

28. Safe Electrical Connection

Wet electrical connections are

shock hazards. To prevent the

cutting fl uid 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.

29. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

22. 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.

23. Outdoor Use Extension Cords

When tool is used outdoors, use only extension

cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
