3. Vacuum Pump

This machine must be used in conjunction with a vacuum pump. 
Connect the vacuum hose quick-release coupling to the vacuum 

valve  fitting on the vacuum base of the machine.  

WARNING: Never attempt to use this machine without a vacuum 
pump or if the vacuum base is damaged. Ensure that the vacuum 
base of the machine is clean and the seal is undamaged before 
each use. Never attempt to clamp the machine in any way other 
than that which it was designed. This could cause a hazard.  

WARNING: Never attempt to drill unless there is a minimum of 10 psi  
(0.7bar) of vacuum.

4. Selecting Speeds

There are 2 speed ranges to suit the bit size  and work piece 
hardness.  Choose the  slowest speed  for  large  diameter  bits  and  
hard materials. 

CAUTION:  Never  attempt  to  change  gears  on  a  running  

machine!  Only  adjust  when  the machine is at rest.

Select the desired gear range by first swinging the gear selector 
tab out of the detent slot then shifting up or down into the desired 
gear. Then pop the selector tab back  into the detent. It will usually 
be necessary to turn the spindle by  hand a little to get it to shift all 
the way. 

5. Motor Head Height Adjustment (See page 2 )   

The height of the motor head on the slide is adjustable on this 
machine to suit different sizes of diamond core bit. It is always 
wise to keep the slide as low as possible in the guidance gibs yet 

still have enough stroke to finish the cut. This will make the drilling 

operation more stable. A good starting point would be start with 
the slide at the bottom of its stroke. Then raise the slide slightly 
more than the amount of the desired depth of cut. Then loosen 
the motor head height adjustor (after you loosen it, give it a tap 
to unlock the motor head). Now raise the motor head just high 

enough on the slide so that the diamond core bit can fit with some 

clearance.
