of electric shock, fire, and personal injury.

• Always take care when lifting and transporting this this machine. The maximum lifting weight for 

one person is 25kgs. See Fig.1

• Ensure the magnet is OFF before plugging in the machine.

• Do NOT use in wet or damp conditions. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.

• Do NOT use in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or in high risk environments. Failure to do 

so may result in personal injury.

• BEFORE activating the machine, inspect all electrical supply cables (including extension leads), 

and replace if damaged. DO NOT use if there are any signs of damage.

• Only use extension cables approved for site conditions.

• BEFORE activating the machine, ALWAYS check the correct function of all operational systems, 

switches, magnet etc.

• BEFORE operating, the machine MUST be securely restrained to a fixed independent feature (by 

using safety strap RD4329, or other means) to reduce the potential free movement, should the 

magnet become detached from the work piece. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.

• ALWAYS wear approved eye protectors, ear defenders and recommended PPE at ALL times when 

operating the machine.

• Disconnect from power source when changing cutters or working on the machine.

• Cutters and swarf are sharp, ALWAYS ensure that hands are adequately protected when 

changing cutters or removing swarf. Use a tool or brush where necessary to remove any swarf or 

the cutter from the arbor.

• Before operating the machine, ALWAYS ensure cutter-retaining screws are secured tightly.

• Regularly clear the work area and machine of swarf and dirt, paying particular attention to the 

underside of the magnet base.

• ALWAYS remove tie, rings, watches and any loose adornments that might entangle with the 

rotating machinery before operating.

• ALWAYS ensure that long hair is securely enclosed by an approved restraint before operating the 

machine.

• Should the cutter become stuck in the work piece, stop the motor immediately to prevent 

personal injury. Disconnect from power source and turn arbor to and fro. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO 

FREE THE CUTTER BY SWITCHING THE MOTOR ON AND OFF. Wear safety gloves to remove the 

cutter from the arbor.

• If the machine is accidentally dropped, ALWAYS thoroughly examine the machine for signs of 

damage and check that it functions correctly BEFORE resuming drilling.

• Regularly inspect the machine and check for any damaged or loose parts.

• ALWAYS ensure when using the machine in an inverted position that only the minimum amount of 

coolant is used, and that care is taken to ensure that coolant does not enter the motor unit.

• Cutting tools may shatter, ALWAYS position the guard over the cutter before activating the 

machine. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.

• On completion of the cut, a slug will be ejected. DO NOT operate the machine as the ejected slug 

may cause injury.

• When not in use ALWAYS store the machine in a safe and secure location.

• ALWAYS ensure that approved 

Unibor
