PARTS & SERVICE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
For your own safety and that of others around you, please read and observe these safety instructions.
1. ALWAYS learn the applications, limitations and the specific potential hazards relating to the tool you are using. Read and
become familiar with all operating instructions.
2. ALWAYS wear good quality industrial gloves.
3. ALWAYS wear safety goggles, manufactured to the latest European Safety Standards. Everyday eyeglasses do not
have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.
4. ALWAYS wear a suitable dust mask.
5. ALWAYS disconnect the tool/machine from the power supply before servicing and when changing accessories.
6. ALWAYS check for damage. Before using the machine, any damaged part, should be checked to ensure that it will
operate properly, and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, breakage of parts, mountings,
and any other condition that may affect the machines’ operation. Any damage should be properly repaired or the
part replaced. If in doubt, DO NOT use the machine. Consult your local dealer.
7. ALWAYS keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite accidents.
8. ALWAYS ensure that adequate lighting is available. Ensure that lighting is placed so that you will not be working in your own
shadow.
9. ALWAYS keep children away. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area, especially whilst operating
the machine.
10. ALWAYS maintain machine in top condition. Keep tools/machines clean for the best and safest performance. Follow
maintenance instructions.
11. ALWAYS handle with extreme care. Do not carry the tool/machine by its’ electric cable, or yank the cable to disconnect
it from the power supply.
12. ALWAYS ensure the switch is off before plugging the drill into the mains. Avoid accidental starting.
13. ALWAYS concentrate on the job in hand, no matter how trivial it may seem. Be aware that accidents are caused by
carelessness due to familiarity.
14. ALWAYS keep your proper footing and balance at all times. Don’t overreach. For best footing, wear rubber soled
footwear, keep floor clear of oil, scrap wood, etc.
Directions For Use
1. ALWAYS drill a 8mm pilot hole before attempting to use the core drill.
2. Assemble the core drill onto the arbor, tighten using a wrench,DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN, (ensure threads etc are clean).
3. Push the pilot drill into the arbor, ensure it is held firmly and does not fall out.
4. Insert assembled drill into the drill chuck and tighten securely.
5. Set the drill to a reasonably slow speed, plug in and switch ON.
6. Slowly offer the pilot drill into pre-drilled hole until the core drill touches, using a steady pressure, push the drill into the
surface, DO NOT FORCE the drill, allow the drill to do the work. It may be necessary to adjust the speed to suit the size of
drill and the material being cut.
AS A GENERAL GUIDE ONLY, the larger the hole, the slower the speed required, also the harder the material being cut,
the slower the speed.
7. To ensure the core drill doesn’t bind, occasionally withdraw it from the
hole whilst it is still turning to clear any waste, keep repeating this process
until the hole is finished.
8. When finished turn the drill OFF and unplug from the main electric
supply.
9. Remove the pilot drill by inserting the drift into the hole in the arbor and
gently tap with hammer.
10 Unscrew the core drill from the arbor and store safely.
11. Remove arbor and store with pilot drill, drift and core drill for later use.
!!! CAUTION !!!
Drift
When using core drills, ensure a firm grip at all times on the machine to prevent the drill being snatched from your hands in the
event of a jam. Jamming can be caused for various reasons, such as small pieces of brick etc breaking off and wedging the
core drill in the hole.
