Safety and operating instructions
Start and stop
Start the core drill by turning the throttle handle
♦
in the direction of the arrow. A soft start can be
obtained by slowly turning the throttle handle.
Stop the core drill by releasing the throttle handle.
♦
The throttle will automatically return to the stop
position.
Operating
Starting a cut
♦
Stand steady and make sure that your feet and
hands are at a safe distance from the drill bit.
♦
To start the drilling it is advisable to either turn
the core drill to one side in order to obtain an
initial groove and then slowly return to horizontal
or vertical position as soon as the drill bit has
engaged in the material to be drilled, or provide
a guide to stop the drill bit skidding across the
surface of the material to be drilled.

Drilling
When the drill bit has started to cut, increase the
♦
axial pressure to the Core Drill using the breast
plate and turn the throttle handle to full throttle
for maximum rotation and penetration speed.
Let the machine do the work; do not press too
♦
hard.
♦
Should the drill bit jam in the hole, release the
throttle handle and any axial pressure on the Core
Drill, gradually turn the throttle handle and when
the drill bit is rotating again re-apply axial
pressure. The normal cause of jamming is the
operator pushing the drill off line.
Check regularly that the machine is well lubricated
♦
and that there is sufficient flushing.
When taking a break
♦
During all breaks you must place the machine in
such a way that there is no risk for it to be
unintentionally started. Make sure to place the
machine on the ground, so that it can not fall.
♦
In the event of a longer break or when leaving the
workplace: Switch off the power supply and then
bleed the machine by activating the start and stop
device.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is a basic requirement for the
continued safe and efficient use of the machine.
Follow the operating instructions carefully.
Before starting maintenance on the machine,
♦
clean it in order to avoid exposure to hazard
substances. See "Dust and fume hazards"
Use only authorised parts. Any damage or
♦
malfunction caused by the use of unauthorised
parts is not covered by warranty or product
liability.
When cleaning mechanical parts with solvent,
♦
comply with appropriate health and safety
regulations and ensure there is satisfactory
ventilation.
For major service to the machine, contact your
♦
nearest authorised workshop.
After each service, check that the machine's
♦
vibration level is normal and that the rotation
speed is correct. If not, contact your nearest
authorised workshop.
