Original instructions

1. Declaration of Conformity

On our own responsibility, we hereby declare that
these magnetic core drills, identified by type and
serial number *1), meet all relevant requirements of
directives *2) and standards *3). Technical docu-
ments for *4) - see Page 3.

2. Specified Use

The MAG 32 and MAG 50 are suitable for core
drilling with suitable cutting tools and for drilling with
spiral drills in metal. MAG 50 is also suitable for
thread tapping.
The magnetic drill stand is designed for fastening to
a magnetisable, even metal surface and must there-
fore have perfect adhesion. When used with the
securing strap provided, it is suitable for working on
vertical and angled surfaces and overhead.
The user bears sole responsibility for any damage
caused by improper use.
Generally accepted accident prevention regula-
tions and the enclosed safety information must be
observed.

3. General safety instructions

WARNING – Reading the operating instruc-
tions will reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow all safety warn-
ings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information for
future reference.
Before using the power tool, carefully read through
and familiarise yourself with all the enclosed safety
information and the Operating Instructions. Keep all
enclosed documentation for future reference, and
pass on your power tool only together with this
documentation.

4. Special Safety Instructions

For your own protection and for the
protection of your power tool, pay atten-
tion to all parts of the text that are marked
with this symbol!
For work carried out on angled and vertical
surfaces and overhead, the magnetic drill
stand must be secured with the securing strap
supplied to prevent it from falling if the power supply
is interrupted.
When the magnet is switched off, or if the power
supply is interrupted, the magnet loses it holding
power. The machine executes a dangerous
swinging movement.
Always wear a hard hat when working overhead.
Always wear protective goggles, gloves, and suit-
able shoes when working.
Ensure there is no damage to the mains connection
cables, switch and anti-kink device.
Arc welding on the workpiece on which the machine
is used is prohibited.
If a change in normal operation is detected (e.g.
motor starts when magnet (switch (19)) is switched
on: do not use the machine but have it repaired.
Further faults can occur.
The magnet produces magnetic and electromag-
netic fields that can have a negative effect on
medical implants.
The surface for the electromagnet must be clean
and flat.
The magnet holding power depends on material
thickness and condition.
Paint, zinc and oxide layers reduce the magnet
holding power.
Do not expose the machine to rain and do not use in
wet or potentially explosive rooms.
Disconnect the mains plug from the plug socket
before performing any adjustments or maintenance
on the machine. Caution! When you unplug the
mains plug, the magnet loses its holding power.
If (after use) the magnetic drill stand is placed on a
material with low heat-dissipation characteristics for
a long period (e.g. plastic), the magnet must not be
switched on because this could lead to overheating
of the magnetic coils.
Follow the instructions for lubrication and tool
replacement.
Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil and
grease.
Caution! The use of other tools and accessories can
result in a risk of injury.
Use the handle (4) on the magnetic drill stand when
transporting the machine.
Always wear a safety harness when working
on scaffolds.
Wear ear protectors.
Wear protective goggles.
Danger - electrical voltage.
Danger - magnetic field.
Persons with pacemakers prohibited.
