HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOL USE

When using any type of power tool there are steps that should be taken to make sure that you, as the user, remain safe.
Common sense and a respect for the tool will help reduce the risk of injury.
Read the instruction manual fully. Do not attempt any operation until you have read and understood this manual.
Most important you must know how to safely start and stop this machine, especially in an emergency.
Keep the work area tidy and clean. Attempting to clear clutter from around the machine during use will reduce your concentration. Mess on the floor creates a trip hazard. Any liquid spilt on the floor could result in you slipping.
Find a suitable location. If the machine is bench mounted, the location should provide good natural light or artificial lighting as a replacement. Avoid damp and dust locations as it will have a negative effect on the machine’s performance. If the machine is portable do not expose the tool to rain. In all cases do not operate power tools near any flammable materials.
Keep bystanders away. Children, onlookers and passers by must be restricted from entering the work area for their own protection. The barrier must extend a suitable distance from the tool user. Unplug and house all power tools that are not in use. A power tool should never be left unattended while connected to the power supply. They must be housed in a suitable location, away locked up and from children. This includes battery chargers.
Do not overload or misuse the tool. All tools are designed for a purpose and are limited to what they are capable of doing. Do not attempt to use a power tool (or adapt it in any way) for an application it is not designed for. Select a tool appropriate for the size of the job. Overloading a tool will result in tool failure and user injury. This covers the use of accessories.
Dress properly. Loose clothing, long hair and jewellery are all dangerous because they can become entangled in moving machinery. This can also result in parts of body being pulled into the machine. Clothing should be close fitted, with any long hair tired back and jewellery and neck tiesremoved. Footwear must be fully enclosed and have a non-slip sole.
Wear personal protective equipment (PPE). Dust, noise, vibration and swarf can all be dangerous if not suitably protected against. If the work involving the power tool creates dust or fumes wear a dust mask. Vibration to the hand, caused by operating some tools for longer periods must be protected against. Wear vibration reducing gloves and allow long breaks between uses. Protect against dust and swarf by wearing approved safety goggles or a face shield. These are some of the more common hazards and preventions, however, always find out what hazards are associated with the machine/work process and wear the most suitable protective equipment available.
Do not breathe contaminated air. If the work creates dust or fumes connect the machine (if possible) to an extraction system either locally or remotely. Working outdoors can also help if possible.
Move the machine as instructed. If the machine is hand held, do not carry it by the power supply cable. If the product is heavy, employ a second or third person to help move it safely or use a mechanical device. Always refer to the instructions for the correct method. Do not overreach. Extending your body too far can result in a loss of balance and you falling. This could be from a height or onto a machine and will result in injury.
Maintain your tools correctly. A well maintained tool will do the job safely. Replace any damaged or missing parts immediately with original parts from the manufacturer. As applicable, keep blades sharp, moving parts clean, oiled or greased, handles clean, and emergency devices working.
Wait for the machine to stop. Unless the machine is fitted with a safety brake, some parts may continue to move due to momentum. Wait for all parts to stop, then unplug it from the power supply before making any adjustments, carrying out maintenance operations or just finishing using the tool.
Remove and check setting tools. Some machinery requires the use of additional tools or keys to set, load or adjust the power tool. Before starting the power tool always check to make certain they have been removed and are safely away from the machine.
Prevent unintentional starting. Before plugging any machine in to the power supply, make sure the switch is in the OFF position. If the machine is portable, do not hold the machine near the switch and take care when putting the machine down, that nothing can operate the switch.
Carefully select an extension lead. Some machines are not suitable for use with extension leads. If the tool is designed for use outdoors, use an extension lead also suitable for that environment. When using an extended lead, select one capable of handling the current (amps) drawn by the machine in use. Fully extend the lead regardless of the distance between the power supply and the tool. Excess current (amps) and a coiled extension lead will both cause the cable to heat up and can result in fire.
Concentrate and stay alert. Distractions are likely to cause an accident. Never operate a power tool if you are under the influence of drugs (prescription or otherwise), including alcohol or if you are feeling tired. Being disorientated will result in an accident.
Have this tool repaired by a qualified person. This tool is designed to conform to the relevant international and local standards and as such should be maintained and repaired by someone qualified, using only original parts supplied by the manufacturer. This will ensure the tool remains safe to use.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR DRILL PRESSES

Mechanical hazards:

• Crushing: When setting/changing a tool or maintaining the machine avoid crushing injuries sustained between fixed and moving elements of the machine.
• Cutting or severing: At all times the workpiece shall be clamped as manual support will lead to injury.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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:

• 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:

• 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:

• Contact and inhalation: Wear personal protective equipment to avoid contact from harmful fluids, gases or dust thrown or created during the drilling process.
• Fire or explosion: Do not drill or drill in the vicinity of flammable or combustible materials.

Location:

• Posture: Ensure when mounting the machine that the chosen location does not lead to unhealthy posture or repetitive strain during normal operation.
• Lighting: Adequate lighting must be provided to ensure no operations are light impaired possibly leading to injury.
• Reach: Do not reach over or around the machine at any time.

Unexpected start-up:

• Remove the plug: Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out adjustment, servicing or maintenance.

Errors of fitting:

• 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:

• Toppling: The drill shall be securely bolted down to a suitable and level surface to prevent the machine from overturning leading to injury.
• 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.

RESIDUAL RISK

Important: Although the safety instructions and operating manuals for our tools contain extensive instructions of safe working with power tools, every power tool involves a certain residual risk which can not be completely excluded by safety mechanisms. Power tools must therefore always be operated with caution!

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 BS Kite marked. ASTA =i BsI Y

Make sure the power supply information on the machine’s rating plate are compatible with the power supply you intend to connect it to. 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 shall 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.
Follow all the instruction supplied with the extension lead.
*Earthed: = This product requires an earth connection to protect against electric shock from accessible conductive parts in the event of a 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.

BENCH MOUNTING

Securely bolt the drilling machine to a work bench or other secure surface through the various points . in the base (fixings are not supplied). Ensure there is enough clear space around the drilling machine to accommodate larger items which may be drilled.

SETTING THE BENCH DRILL

Note: Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out adjustment, servicing or maintenance.

SPINDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT – FIGS.7-8

This drilling machine is equipped with 5 drilling speeds.

• Remove the pulley cover securing screw (4.1).
• Select the speed most suitable for the intended applicationf.
• Drilling wood too slowly can cause splintering.
• Loosen the motor/belt tension adjuster (11) releasing the tautness across the drive belt.
• Move the belt to the corresponding sections ofthe motor and spindle pulleys ensuring the belt remains horizontal.
• Apply pressure to the motor mounting plate (9.1) to tension the drive belt. With the correct tension achieved lock in position with the motor/belt tension adjuster (11).
• Gently lower the pulley cover before tightening pulley cover securing screw (4.1).
• Never attempt to operate the drilling machine with the pulley cover open or not fully secured.

Caution: Over tensioning the drive belt will accelerate belt wear, increase the loading on drive bearings and the motor possibly leading to premature failure. Under tensioning the drive belt will lead to the drive belt slipping and increased noise.

As a general rule material with a softer composition can be drilled faster as they cut more easily. Harder materials require a slower speed as attempting to make the hole at a high speed will result in the drill bit over heating which may result in a poorly finished hole, the bit annealing or the bit breaking.
