Before drilling:

  1. Wear eye and hearing protection.
  2. Tie back long hair or wear a cap to cover it.
  3. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery that can get caught in the moving and rotating parts of the machine.
  4. Clean up the surroundings of the machine so that you will not fall onto the rotating machine due to an untidy environment or a slippery floor.
  5. Open the drill chuck guard by turning the guard left. Make sure that the chuck is properly secured. Open up the chuck jaws by holding the upper ring and turning the lower ring to the left. Attach the drill bit by turning the lower ring to the right.
  6. Adjust the drilling table to the appropriate height and lock it in position.
  7. Attach the workpiece to the table with press clamps. Never attempt to hold the workpiece with your hands.
  8. Put the guards in place.

Drilling:

  1. Start the drilling machine.
  2. When drilling, keep both hands, your hair and clothing away from the rotating machine parts.
  3. Turn off the drilling machine. Do not touch the moving parts or brush away any chips before the drill has come to a complete stop.

After drilling:

  1. Open the guard and detach the workpiece.
  2. Clean up the machine and its surroundings with a vacuum cleaner or a brush, but do not use compressed air.
