WORK AREA
This machine is designed to be portable for use at the job site, as well as for in-shop use.
Always provide an uncluttered work area and concentrate on the job at hand.
Before using your machine, please organize your work area to ensure the following:
• Glass must lay flat without stress.
• Glass must be adequately supported to accept weight of machine.
• The diamond drill must be able to protrude through the bottom of the glass when drilled.
• There must be a collection system for the used coolant.
For in-shop use, drilling can be done on a flat cutting table using a thin piece of Plexiglas between the glass to
be drilled and the cutting table. Direct used coolant to a collection area.
For temporary portable work, you can create a work area by laying a plastic sheet over a flat surface, such as a
portable cutting table. Use quality straight wood strips (1” x 2” or larger) and place flat on top of the plastic
sheet to elevate the glass work piece. Position the flat strips to adequately support the work piece, maintaining a
flat plane. Allow the coolant to flow off the plastic sheet into a five gallon bucket for settling and reuse. After
use, clean any glass residue or coolant off the drills, drilling machine and the base. Dry completely.
PREPARING TO WORK
Your AMZ1 Diamond Drilling Machine is designed for the water or water/diamond coolant mixture to be fed
through the center of the diamond drill via the water coolant chuck. The coolant chuck uses this water flow to
provide cooling to the chuck body and seals. Whether you are using the optional coolant supply container, or
your building water supply, you should always keep coolant flowing when using the machine.
The operating speed (RPM) is adjustable from 0 to 2900 RPM. This allows user to set the optimum speed for
different diameters of diamond drills. Smaller drills run at higher speeds, and larger drills run at lower speeds.
See instructions packaged with each diamond drill for optimum speed selection.
The AMZ1 Machine is held to the glass while drilling with two rubber locking cups. You may adjust the
holding power of these cups by adjusting the knurled washer on the top side of the cup. To release cups, lift
lever and pull up on side of cup with fingers to release pressure. Use care to prevent cutting or scratching of the
rubber cup -surface during transport and storage.
USING THE AMZ1 MACHINE
1) Mark the glass where you want to drill.
2) Using the wrenches provided, install a drill in the machine.
3) Plug machine into a properly grounded G.F.C.I. protected outlet.
4) Place the machine on the glass and position drill over desired hole location.
5) Lock suction cup holders by applying gentle downward pressure; flip levers down.
6) Place the retaining ring on the glass under the diamond drill.
7) Adjust the coolant valve until you have desired water/coolant flow.
