Mounting the water collection ring (fig. H)
If the stand is used in wet drilling applications,
a water collection ring can be mounted to ensure
a proper discharge of water.
● Loosen the bolts (46) a few turns.
● Hold the water collection ring (26) in front of the
base (9).
● Slide the recessed ends of the mounting
bracket (47) in the space created between the
bolts and the base.
● Check that the assembly aligns with the
accessory fitted.
● Securely tighten the bolts.
Adjusting the drill angle (fig. I)
The column can be tilted to facilitate slope drilling
applications. The scale (7) represents angles up to
45°.
● Remove the locking bolt (48) and store it in a
safe place.
● Loosen the angle adjustment lever (8).
● Tilt the column at the handle (3).
● Align the top of the lever base with the required
angle (see indication X).
● Tighten the angle adjustment lever.
● After use, restore the stand in straight-up
position and replace the locking bolt.
Fitting the feed handle (fig. J)
The quick-release feed handle (4) can be mounted
in one simple operation both to the left and the
right of the stand.
● Align the locating rod in the feed handle with
the slot in the shaft (49).
● Push the handle onto the shaft.
Adjusting the friction (fig. A)
The friction knob (13) is used to increase or decrease
the friction of the carriage mechanism.
● Turn the knob clockwise to increase the friction.
● Turn the knob counterclockwise to decrease the
friction.

General tips for drilling with diamond core bits
+
Follow the core bit or manufacturer's
recommendations for using the
accessory.
Note: The use of a centredrill is not necessary.
● Take hold of the feed handle.
● Unlock the carriage.
● Switch on the drill motor in continuous mode.
● Slowly feed the accessory into the workpiece
using the feed handle.
● At the start of the cut, apply light pressure to
allow the accessory to perform the initial groove.
● Continue applying sufficient pressure to achieve
a smooth progressive cut. Do not force.
● Take extra care when the accessory is about to
break through the surface to prevent splintering.
● Always switch off the tool when work is finished
and before unplugging.
● After use move the carriage upwards until the
carriage locks into place.
