may result in personal injury.

● Regularly clear the work area and machine of swarf and dirt, paying particular attention to the
underside of the magnet base.
● With a gloved hand, and after switching off, remove any swarf which might have gathered around the
cutter and arbor before proceeding with the next hole.
● Before operating the machine, always remove tie, rings, watches, and any loose adornments which
might entangle with the rotating machinery.

● If the machine is accidentally dropped, always thoroughly examine the machine for signs of damage
and check that it functions correctly before trying to drill a hole.

cause injury.
