CAUTION! Cutters are sharp.
Wear gloves when installing or
removing cutter from arbor. Do
not grab a rotating cutter.
CAUTION! The slug is ejected
at the end of the cut. Do not aim
cutter or arbor so that ejected
slug may hit someone around, or
below you.
CAUTION! To prevent electric
shock, do not use power tools
near wet areas, or where power
tool may become wet.

Important Safety Instructions
WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed
to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:
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 plug
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. (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
fluid 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.
Extension Cord Table
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 flammable 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.
10. Store Idle Tools
When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, and
high or locked-up place — out of reach of children.
11. 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.
12. Non-Conforming Cutting Tools
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.
13. 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.
14. Always Wear Safety Glasses or Goggles

Important Safety Instructions - Continued
15. Dress Properly
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.
16. Do Not Abuse Cord
Never carry drill unit by its cord or yank it to discon nect from receptacle.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
17. Do Not Overreach
Keep proper footing and balance at all time.
18. Maintain Tools With Care
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer
performance.
Do not use 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.
19. Disconnect Tools
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.
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.
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
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
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 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.
29. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
