Safety warnings for
the use of magnetic drills
Choose the appropriate bit or attachment
CAUTION
• The tool is designed to work with
Weldon stilts cutters or accessories. Choose the right one
for the material to be worked on, this reduces the risk of
serious injury and speeds up the work.
• Do not attempt to use bits that exceed the capacity of the
drill.
• Use well sharpened and well-maintained drills /
attachments to optimize the work.
Before operating the drill
• ake your time to evaluate the work to be done and make
sure you have followed all the necessary precautions
before starting to drill.
WARNING
• Always use the safety belt. The
assembly can be released by a power failure or accidental
disconnection. If the mounting surface does not allow the
use of a chain, secure the unit with another means.
WARNING
• Adjust the bit or accessory correctly to
the drill bit, otherwise it can fly out at high speed and
cause serious injury.
• Before drilling into a wall, make sure
DANGER
that there are no embedded objects, such as cables or
electrical conduits or pipes.
CAUTION
• Turn off the drill switch (set to position
0) and make sure the magnetic base is attached to the
workpiece before installing or replacing a drill or
attachment.
WARNING
• This electric tool produces an
electro-magnetic field during its operation that could
interfere with medical implants. To reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injury, it is recommended that people with
medical implants consult their physician and the
manufacturer of the implant before operating the tool.
• The drill should be used in a
WARNING
climate-protected environment.
• The drill can be used vertically or
WARNING
horizontally but not in an inverted position, as long as the
magnetic adhesion and the working environment allow it.
Work horizontally only when absolutely necessary and use
at least two operators. Take special care to protect against
the ejection of steel chips and hot projectiles.
WARNING
• The work piece must be at least 10
mm thick so that there is sufficient magnetic adhesion. Do
not operate the drill without sufficient magnetic adhesion.
• Check that there are no body parts
WARNING
between the base of the magnet and the workpiece. The
magnet has industrial-grade strength and misuse can result
in serious injury. Never attempt to turn the magnet on
unless the entire surface of the magnet is attached to the
workpiece.
While operating the drill
CAUTION
• Hold the tool by its handle and by
the auxiliary handle. Remember that loss of control can
cause personal injury.
• Hold the tool by the insulating surfaces, especially
when performing work where the cutting part of the
bit may make contact with hidden wiring or the tool's
own power cord. Contact with a live wire makes the
metal parts of the tool live as well and can cause an
electric shock to the operator.
• Do not subject the tool to excessive stress.
CAUTION
• If the bit gets stuck in the workpiece,
turn off the drill immediately. Then remove the bit from
the workpiece. Do not attempt to remove jammed bits by
turning the tool on and off.
• Do not apply too much pressure to the tool in order to
speed up the drilling. Otherwise, the drill will be damaged
and the efficiency of the tool will decrease as well as its
life span.
WARNING
• The larger the bit diameter, the
greater the reactive force, which can lead to a loss of tool
control. To avoid this possibility, hold the tool firmly with
both hands and maintain a balanced position on both feet
while drilling at 90°.
• Be aware and prepared to relax the force as soon as the
bit passes through the material. Sudden movements can
cause accidents.
CAUTION
• Do not touch the bit or drill hole
immediately after drilling. Wait for them to cool down
before handling them. Do not attempt to cool them with
water or oil.
• Avoid placing the tool in a place with particles and/or
dust immediately after use, these can be absorbed into
the mechanism of the tool and thus damage it.
• Use hearing protectors, when running services that
make noise above 85 dB. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
• Use a dust mask and dust extraction equipment if
necessary. Remember that working with materials such as
asbestos, lead paints, additives, some types of metals or
minerals is highly toxic.
• Use safety glasses.
