Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines safety measures for operating, maintaining, and handling magnetic drills. Only trained and authorized personnel may use this equipment. Pre-start checks include inspecting the drill casing, plug, lead, and magnetic base for damage or faults. The drill must be connected to an RCD-protected circuit, and all surfaces must be clean to ensure secure magnet holding power.

Operational safety emphasizes using appropriate drill speeds and feed rates, applying lubrication during cutting, and wearing PPE, such as eye protection and safety footwear. Workers must avoid gloves and loose clothing around moving parts and use brushes to clear swarf. Maintenance involves inspecting and cleaning drill components and storing them in a safe, dry environment. Faulty parts must be repaired by authorized personnel only. These guidelines ensure safe and efficient operation of magnetic drills.
