DRILL SAFETY WARNINGS
•
Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss. NOTE The above
warning applies only to impact drills and may be omitted for drills other than impact drills.
•
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
•
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. C
utting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
•
The locking screw for the ground/earth cable may never be loosened, otherwise there is acute
danger to life!
•
Check the ground (earth) connection of the electrical plug.
•
Never use the machine without the PRCD fault-current safety switch supplied.
•
Always check the PRCD fault-current safety switch for correct functioning before starting a drilling
operation.
•
Ensure that no water is allowed to get into the motor unit during operation.
•
If you detect a leak in any part of the water supply system, shut the machine down immediately
and repair the fault. Water pressure should not exceed 70 psi (4 bar).
•
Take care not to damage gas, water, power and other conduits in the area of the drilling operation.
Drain or shut off these conduits as required.
•
Block off the working area and place warning signs on both sides of the wall when drilling through
from one side to the other.
•
Take appropriate precautions to ensure that, in the event of a drilling core dropping out, no
personal injury or material damage will result.
•
When drilling hollow components, check the flow route of the cooling water in order to prevent
damage.
•
Always hold the machine tightly.
Diamond core drilling bits can become stuck at any time during core
drilling, there is a danger of the machine jumping out of control.
•
WARNING: Pull the plug out of the socket before making device settings or changing accessories.
Many accidents are caused by accidental starting of power tools.
WARNING! 110V UK machines are not equipped with a PRCD portable residual current device or GFCI
ground fault circuit interrupter. The machine must always be used with an isolating transformer for
protection in case an electrical fault should occur.
INTRODUCTION
The machine is equipped with spirit levels which aid in aligning the tool. By positioning the machine so that
the bubble is in the center of the window one can drill a straight hole. Use the Bull's Eye Level for vertical
aligning and the Tubular Level for horizontal aligning.
This machine is for the intended purpose of diamond core drilling of concrete, masonry, stone and similar
materials. The machine may be hand-held for drilling up to 80mm. For sizes above 80mm up to 160mm, it must
be mounted on a rig (drilling stand). The rig is not included.
All other uses which are not for the intended purpose are prohibited.
It is equipped with a water feed system which is required for the diamond core drilling process.
Convertible models also have two adaptor heads:
one for water feed and one for through-the-spindle dust
aspiration. It is equipped with a PRCD interrupter (portable residual current device) which must be used at all
