SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCT/ON FOR BENCH DRILLS
MECHANICAL HAZARDS:
1.21 Crushing
When setting/changing a tool or maintaining the machine avoid crushing injuries sustained between fixed and
moving elements of the machine.
1.22 Cutting or Severing
At all times the workpiece shall be clamped as manual support will lead to injury.
1.23 Entanglement
Switch off the machine for maintenance, workpiece loading/unloading, swarf/chip removal, cutting/lubrication fluid application as contact
with rotating spindle or tool will cause entanglement and possibly lead to injury and entrapment.
1.24 Impact
Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped at all times to avoid sudden movement (rotation) or ejection causing injury.
Ensure any special tools associated with tool exchange, i.e. chuck key are removed prior to attempting to start the machine.
1.25 Stabbing, Cutting or Puncture Wounds
Take care when handling the tools and avoid contact with swarf and burrs created during drilling as they are extremely sharp.
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS:
1.26 Hearing Loss
Wear ear defenders during operation to avoid damage to hearing, however ensure this does not interfere with
speech communications or audible warnings.
MATERIAL HAZARDS:
1.27 Contact and Inhalation
Wear personal protective equipment to avoid contact from harmful fluids, gases or dust thrown or created during the drilling process.
1.28 Fire or Explosion
Do not drill or drill in the vicinity of flammable or combustible materials.
LOCATION:
1.29 Posture
Ensure when mounting the machine that the chosen location does not lead to unhealthy posture or repetitive strain during normal operation.
1.30 Lighting
Adequate lighting must be provided to ensure no operations are light impaired possibly leading to injury.
1.31 Reach
Do not reach over or around the machine at any time.
UNEXPECTED START-UP:
1.32 Remove the plug
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
ERRORS OF FITTING:
1.33 Tools
Ensure a suitable tool for the job in hand is securely and correctly fitted prior to starting the machine.
Guards shall be fitted and in place at all times.
STABILITY:
1.34 Toppling
The drill shall be securely bolted down to a suitable and level surface to prevent the machine from overturning leading to injury.
1.35 Slipping
Ensure the area is clean of any residue cutting/lubration fluid and other materials which may lead to a slip, trip or other such hazard.
CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Make sure the power supply information on the machine’s rating plate are compatible with the power supply you intend to connect it to.
The Drill comes supplied with a UK standard 3 pin plug fitted. It is designed for connection to a domestic power supply rated at 230V AC.
Because it is constructed mostly of metal parts, it is a Class 1 machine; meaning, it must have an earth connection in the power supply. This is to
prevent electrocution in the event of a failure. Apart from replacing the fuse in the plug, no other electrical work is recommended on this drill.
