Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines safety measures for operating and maintaining magnetic drills. Only trained and authorized personnel may use the drill, adhering strictly to the manufacturer’s instructions. Pre-start checks include inspecting the drill casing and body for damage, ensuring a current safety inspection tag is present, and verifying that the drill is connected to an RCD-protected circuit. Drill bits must be inspected for wear or damage and replaced as needed.

Operational precautions emphasize securing the drill on a clean, stable surface before activation of the magnetic base, wearing Type 1 safety footwear, and using appropriate protective gear, including gloves during setup. Loose clothing, jewelry, and long hair must be secured to prevent entanglement. Maintenance involves cleaning the drill, inspecting components for damage, and ensuring repairs are performed only by authorized personnel. These protocols ensure safety and efficiency during magnetic drill operation.
