does not turn it on or off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the power tool from the
power source and/or battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventative safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of moving parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) 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 for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.

HEALTH ADVICE
WARNING: When using this machine, dust
particles may be produced. In some instances,
12
www.evolutionpowertools.com
depending on the materials you are working
with, this dust can be particularly harmful.
If you suspect that paint on the surface
of material you wish to cut contains lead,
seek professional advice. Lead based paints
should only be removed by a professional
and you should not attempt to remove it
yourself. Once the dust has been deposited
on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result
in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even
low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain
and nervous system damage. The young and
unborn children are particularly vulnerable.
You are advised to consider the risks
associated with the materials you are working
with and to reduce the risk of exposure. As
some materials can produce dust that may
be hazardous to your health, we recommend
the use of an approved face mask with
replaceable filters when using this machine.
You should always:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such
as dust masks that are specially designed to
filter microscopic particles.

WARNING: The operation of any power tool
can result in foreign objects being thrown
towards your eyes, which could result in
severe eye damage. Before beginning power
tool operation, always wear safety goggles
or safety glasses with side shield or a full face
shield where necessary.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Mains Power Supply Security
WARNING: Due to the nature of operation of
these machines, it is of the utmost importance
to ensure the security and continuity of the
mains power supply.
• Ensure that the machine has a dedicated
power supply.
• Employ a lock on device to ensure that the
www.evolutionpowertools.com
mains power supply cannot be interrupted or
compromised accidentally.
• Do not use other appliances on the same
power socket, as any variation in voltage
caused by the connected appliances could
result in the electromagnet deactivating
• Where power is supplied by an 'on site'
generator set, ensure that the generator set
is reliable and well maintained, and that the
fuel tank contains sufficient fuel to allow
completion of the task.
• The application of relevant warning labels is
strongly recommended.
TRANSPORTING AND HANDLING.
Magnetic Drills are heavy machines, and care must
be taken when handling or transporting them.
• When transporting or moving a Magnetic
Drill, always use the carrying handle or other
carrying aids provided.
• Always ensure that the dovetail slide and
drilling head is in its lowest position and
locked in place.
• Do not transport a Magnetic Drill with a
cutter installed.
• If the coolant system is fitted, ensure that
the feed tap is in the 'off' position or that the
coolant system has been drained of coolant
fluid.
• If the Magnetic Drill is to be transported
in a vehicle, ensure that it is laid on its side
and secured to prevent movement. Ideally
transport it inside its blow moulded case (if
provided).
• Do not carry a Magnetic Drill with the mains
cord and plug dragging along the ground
(severe trip hazard). Secure the cord on the
machine before transporting.
• Never attempt to carry or drag the machine
using the mains cord.
Safety Advice
Carrying a Magnetic Drilling System
• Although compact, Magnetic Drilling
Systems are heavy. To reduce the risk of back
injury, enlist competent help whenever you
13
have to carry or lift a Magnetic Drill.
• Hold the machine close to your body when
lifting. Bend your knees so that you can lift
with your legs not your back. Use the lifting/
carrying handle(s).
• Never attempt to carry a machine by the power
cord. Serious damage will be caused to the cord
connections and insulation. This could result
in electric shock, fire or serious mechanical
malfunction if the machine is used again.
• Lock the drilling head and dovetail slide in its
lowest position to guard against unexpected
movement.
• Tighten all locking screws and check all
ancillary screws for tightness before moving
or carrying the machine.
PRE USE CHECKS
Before every use cycle check:
• The mains plug for any damage. If damage is
evident the plug must be replaced.
• The whole machine for any other signs of
damage. If any damage is evident the machine
must not be used until the damage has been
repaired by a qualified technician using genuine
replacement parts where necessary.
• The security and condition of the safety guard. A
machine must not be used without a serviceable
safety guard fitted.
• That the feed handles are securely attached to
the feed spindle boss.
• That the safety chain or safety strap is fully
serviceable with no damaged links or connectors
(safety chain) or damaged webbing or buckle
(safety strap). If damage is found replace the safety
chain or strap.
• That the dovetail slide is correctly adjusted
and operates smoothly and without any
binding or excessive sideways movement. The
cutting head should not fall freely under its
own weight.
Note: Detailed instructions on how to
check and adjust the dovetail slides of these
machines are given in the Maintenance section
of this Instruction Manual.
