Water standard garden hose
Electrical source and small extension cord with circuit breaker provided

WORK GEAR
Wear gloves as well as eye and respiratory protection when cutting TAKTL

ENVIRONMENT
Please adhere to all local, state, and federal regulations pertaining to
the treatment and discharge of wastewater generated as a result of
cutting and drilling TAKTL material. TAKTL is a non-hazardous ma-
terial for the purpose of wastewater classification. Requirements for
treatment of wastewater will be specific to project, site location, and
cutting/drilling conditions.
Installers for projects with concealed anchors should be prepared to drill panels in the field. The KEIL Portable
Drilling Machine is REQUIRED for drilling concealed anchor attachment holes. Drilling machines can be purchased
or rented through TAKTL. Please contact your TAKTL Project Manager for more information and review the
following instructions thoroughly before operating the machine.
REQUIRED DRILL CONNECTIONS
Air
The KEIL Portable Drilling Machine utilizes a
vacuum seal to maintain stability while drilling. In order
for the vacuum seal to function, an air compressor hose
with a 1/4in coupler is required.
Water
The KEIL Portable Drilling Machine incorporates
a water cooling system to prevent overheating and to
facilitate the cleaning of slurry from holes as they are
being drilled. A standard garden hose will fit the water
supply line on the drill. Water can be turned on at the
source and will only flow through the machine when the
drill trigger is depressed. Water will spray out of the
center of the drill bit while the machine is running. The
water flow will shut off once the drill trigger is released.
NOTE:
If water does not flow from the drill bit when the
trigger is depressed, please follow the steps outlined in
the section 6 of this document.
Electricity
Each KEIL Portable Drilling Machine is
supplied with a small extension cord, equipped with a
built-in circuit breaker. The machine must be plugged into
this cord, then plugged into the power source to operate.
Check the reset button on the circuit breaker before use.
