TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE OF THE MACHINE
Ø
CAUTION: GAS FUMES ARE HIGLY FLAMABLE! GAS FUMES CAN CAUSE
DIZZINESS, VOMITING, AND A COMBUSTIBLE ENVIRONEMENT THAT CAN CAUSE
INJURY OR DEATH!
Ø
When transporting the machine, always use two hands.
Ø
DO NOT transport the machine with bits attached.
Ø
As this is machine has a gas storage tank attached to the motor, it is NOT
recommended that this machine be transported inside of a vehicle. It is only
recommended to transport in a clean, dry, ventilated environment. ALWAYS secure
the machine when transporting with any vehicle so it does not move or bounce.
Ø
The machine should be stored in a clean, dry, ventilated environment.
Ø
“Winterizing” - It is recommended to run the machine dry (no gas in the fuel tank or in
the carburetor) if storing for more than 2 months as fuel can decay.
RUNNING THE MACHINE USING THE HANDHELD DRILLING METHOD
Ø
Do all pre-operational and operational safety checks from Chapter 1.
Ø
Consider your security and stability as well as the orientation of the machine in the
work area.
o
DO NOT use this item in an unstable position (such as on a ladder, leaning
outside of center of gravity, etc). When using by hand, these drills could bind
up and personal injury could occur if not taking into account a very stable
body position.
o
Consider the work surface material, condition, strength, density and rigidity.
These factors directly affect the tool’s efficiency.
Ø
Ensure the work surface is free of debris, oil, etc.
Ø
If using “wet” type bits, set up your drilling templates or other professional methods
for starting your hole.
Ø
Select and set up fluid delivery method or dust collection system.
Ø
If using the machine with the water system, connect hose to the side of the machine
using the connector.
o
This connector takes standard ¾” US garden hose or quick disconnect
hookup depending on the model.
o
Make sure the water valve is in the off position.
§
This is generally at a 90 degree angle from the valve hose.
o
Partially turn the water spigot on (usually half a turn).
§
CAUTION: DO NOT turn the hose on fully! You need sufficient water
when using wet type bits. Using too much water pressure can cause
the bits to not cut properly as well as water entering the gearbox.
