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 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 230V, it has a plug that looks like that shown in
sketch (A). If it is for use on 115V, it has a plug that looks like that shown in sketch (D). An adapter, see
sketches (B) and (C), is available for connecting 115V 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. (See Table 2)
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 loss of power and possible motor damage. (See Table 1)
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.
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.
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, land high or locked-up place — 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.

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 nonskid 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.
17. 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.
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 Hougen 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 Hougen 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. If service
is required contact your nearest authorize service center.
21. Non-Conforming Cutting Tools
Your Magnetic 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.
22. Operating Near Welding Equipment
When operating your Magnetic Drill near an arc welder, it is important that they are connected to the same
Earth Ground. If they are not, 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
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT)
14. 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. Keep handles dry, clean,
and free from oil and grease.
15. Disconnect Tools
When not in use, before servicing, and when changing Hougen 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.
