5.2 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR DRILLS
MECHANICAL HAZARDS:
1. Crushing. When setting/changing a tool or maintaining the machine avoid crushing injuries
sustained between fixed and moving elements of the machine.
2. Cutting or Severing. At all times the workpiece shall be clamped as manual support will lead
to injury.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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. Contact with Live parts. During commissioning, maintenance and trouble shooting operations
do not remove, open or expose any electrical, terminal and control boxes due to the danger of
electrocution. If the main cable is damaged, unplug the machine immediately and have the cable
replaced before continuing.
AUDIBLE HAZARDS:
1. 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. Contact and Inhalation. Wear personal protective equipment to avoid contact from harmful
fluids, gases or dust thrown or created during the drilling process.
2. Fire or Explosion. Do not drill or drill in the vicinity of flammable or combustible materials.
LOCATION:
1. Posture. Ensure when mounting the machine that the chosen location does not lead to unhealthy
posture or repetitive strain during normal operation.
2. Lighting. Adequate lighting must be provided to ensure no operations are light impaired possibly
leading to injury.
3. Reach. Do not reach over or around the machine at any time.
UNEXPECTED START-UP:
1. Remove the plug. Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out adjustment, servicing
or maintenance.
ERRORS OF FITTING:
1. 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. Toppling. The drill shall be securely bolted down to a suitable and level surface to prevent the
machine from overturning leading to injury.
2. Slipping. Ensure the area is clean of any residue cutting/lubrication fluid and other materials
which may lead to a slip, trip or other such hazard.

5.3 CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Caution: Risk of electric shock. Do not open.
This appliance is supplied with a moulded 3 pin mains plug for your safety. The value of the fuse
fitted is marked on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need replacing, ensure the substitute
is of the correct rating, approved to BS1362 and ASTA or BSI Kite marked.
ASTA
BSI
The fuse cover is removable with a small plain slot screwdriver. Ensure the fuse cover is replaced
before attempting to connect the plug to an electrical outlet. If the cover is missing, a replacement
must be obtained or the plug replaced with a suitable type.
If a replacement plug is to be fitted this must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
The damaged or incomplete plug, when cut from the cable should be disabled to prevent
connection to a live electrical outlet.
This appliance is Class I
†
and is designed for connection to a power supply matching that detailed
on the rating label and compatible with the plug fitted.
If an extension lead is required, use an approved and compatible lead rated for this appliance. If
using an extension lead, follow the instructions that came with your lead regarding maximum load
while cable is wound, if in doubt ensure the entire cable is unwound. Using a coiled extension lead
will generate heat which could melt the lead and cause a fire.
†
Earthed : This product requires an earth connection to protect against electric shock from
accessible conductive parts in the event of failure of the basic insulation.
IMPORTANT
If using an extension lead, follow the instructions that came with your lead regarding
maximum load while cable is wound. If in doubt, ensure that the entire cable is unwound.
Using a coiled extension lead will generate heat which could melt the lead and cause a fire.
