tions provided with this power tool. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in
warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operat-
ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools.
reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces
the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool.
the switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
A
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
-
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
MAGNETIC DRILLS
Always use safety chain. Mounting can release.
DANGER
etc. away from moving parts and chips. Do not try to
remove chips while the cutter is rotating. Chips are
sharp and can pull objects into moving parts.
Clean the surface before attaching the drill stand
to the work surface. Paint, rust, scale, or uneven
surfaces decrease the holding strength of the magnet. Chips, burrs, dirt and other foreign matter on the
surface of the magnet base will also decrease holding
power.
Do not attach magnetic base to nonmagnetic
grades of stainless steel. The magnet base WILL
NOT hold. The permanent magnetic drill attaches
magnetically to 6mm (1/4") or thicker ferrous stock.
Do not use on stock less than 6mm (1/4").
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
Safety Strap
Do not use near acids or bleaching agents.
Do not use for overhead lifting.
Do not use strap if webbing is cut.
Webbing must be protected from sharp edges.
All hardware must be in line with direction of
pull for rated capacity.
To reduce the risk of injury, always
keep hands, gloves, rags, clothing,
Always use common sense and be cautious
when using tools. It is not possible to anticipate
every situation that could result in a dangerous
outcome. Do not use this tool if you do not
understand these operating instructions or you feel
the work is beyond your capability; contact
