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)
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.
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.
It will do the job better and faster at the rate for which
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.
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
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
Do not use tool for purpose not intended — for
example — do not use a circular saw for cutting tree
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
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-
Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
Keep proper footing and balance at all time.

When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed
to reduce the risk of fi re, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:
![](/html/b7/b7e8/b7e8a4c06173ec2dea96107778af8090c08deec9d09f32480b7e371f87a6e2bf/bg5.png)
Changing of the circuit breaker to a higher amp rated breaker, or
bypassing the circuit breaker is not recommended and will void
27. Circuit Breaker Operation
The circuit breaker is a thermal breaker. When it reaches the
higher temperature rating it will trip and cause the unit to shut
down. This is a protective device and can be reset after 5 to 10.
To reset the 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 ans it stays n 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
29. Save these Instructions.
Important Safety Instructions - Continued
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer
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
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
Watch what you are doing and use common sense.
Do not operate tool when you are tired.
Have defective switches replaced by authorized
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 counterclock-
wise. 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.
The Safety Switch Indicator Light is a Standard Safety
A condition with the safety switch exists that needs to be

• Uneven work surface or material. Check work
• Dirt or chips under magnet. Clean work surface.
• Too thin material. Make sure material is at least 3/8”
