control panel must be in the center (Neutral)
position between DRIVE & DRILL, and the
MASTER DISCONNECT switch must be ON. Be
certain both red EMERGENCY STOP switches
are pulled out. The engine throttle, choke and
start key are all located at the rear of the
machine on the right side of the engine.
MOVING: The self propelled function only works
with the function switch in the DRIVE position.
Gently raise and lower the lever on the drive
valve mounted in the upper rear corner of the
machine. To steer the unit, lift the rear tires of
the ground and pivot to the proper location.
The machine may also be move manually by
lifting the rear tires off the ground and pushing
or pulling. Be certain the rear legs and front
mast are raised fully for maximum ground
clearance.
DOWN switch to slowly start the hole. Once
contact is made, switch to AUTO DRILL mode,
drilling will continue until the cylinder stroke is to
its maximum length or until the AUTO DRILL
switch is shut off.
The DRIIL DOWN, DRILL UP, and TURBO switches
will NOT operate when the AUTO DRILL mode is
on.
TWO SPEED DRILL MOTOR: Set to high speed for
drills up to 10” in diameter (Shift Clockwise) and
low speed for drills greater then 10” (Shift
Counter Clockwise).
IMPORTANT! A red emergency stop button is at
the rear and side controls panels. This will stop
the engine and shut down all hydraulic and
electrical systems. These buttons must be in the
out position to start the engine.
DRILLING: The labels at the front controls
summarize the typical drilling operation. Please
read them and review the following additional
information.
After positioning the drill, put the function
switch in the upper DRILL position. This activates
the controls on the front dash panel. Be certain
the circuit breakers at the rear electrical outlet
panel are on as AC power is required by the
vacuum pump.
The DRILL DOWN, DRILL UP, and TURBO switches
are intermittent and must be held in to
operate. Holding UP or DOWN and TURBO will
raise or lower the drill more rapidly for initial
positioning or pulling bit out of hole. To adjust
the speed of cylinder stroke, hold up or down
and turn the small black knob at the upper

Water System
11
Use extreme caution when
operating the machine on slopes,
as it is more susceptible to sideways
tipping/rolling over, especially with
a full water tank.
The water system cools the core bit and flushes
slurry from the drilling hole. Note: Always test the
water supply for adequate pressure and flow prior
to drilling.
Filling the Water Tank
Filling the Water Tank
1. Remove the water tank cap(s) and fill the tank
with water as necessary. Note: The clear hose at the rear of the tank indicates the water level.
2. Replace the cap(s) when finished.
NOTE: Too much water makes the slurry look clear
and waste water, insufficient water makes slurry
thick and can result in a core sticking in bit.
Draining Water System
1. Be certain the area is safe for draining
water.
2. Open large valve located on the front right
side of machine.
3. Complete draining is only required in areas
where temperatures result in freezing, or
machine is going to be stored for a long
period of time.
Vacuum System
DO NOT stand on the
machine to act as an
anchor. Use the vacuum
pump to anchor the
machine.
The vacuum system is only used during the drilling
operation when the base is firmly on the ground;
this adds stability to the system and should be used
whenever possible. Cleaning and wetting the
surface with the garden hose helps to ensure a
proper seal.
Using the Water Supply
1. Open the water valve directly under the water
tank. DO NOT confuse this valve with the water
release valve, which is located near the side of
the tank.
2. Turn on the Water switch.
3. Open the water valve.
4. Adjust the water flow valve to increase or
decrease water flow to the core bit. Note: Using
too much water when drilling will make the slurry
look clear. Not using enough water will make
the slurry look thick and pasty, and could result
in a stuck bit.
5. Use the attached water hose for cleaning or
other tasks as needed. This hose functions as a
typical garden hose. Note: Turn on the master
battery disconnect to use the water hose with
the engine off. DO NOT drain the battery.
6. Decrease the water flow and close the water
valve when finished.
7. Turn off the Water switch. Note: Always turn off
this switch when finished drilling to avoid
draining the battery.
Using the Vacuum
1. Turn on the circuit breakers.
2. Close the vacuum valve on side dash.
3. Turn on the Vacuum switch.
4. Open the vacuum valve to release suction
when finished.
5. Turn off the Vacuum switch.
Vacuum Gauge
The vacuum gauge indicates that the vacuum
system is working. Vacuum pressure should max out
at 25” Hg. Note: Poor vacuum suction may indicate
loose hose fittings; loose water trap jars; worn
vacuum base seals; or the base may be placed
over a cracked/scored surface where suction is not
possible.
Water Jars
12
The primary jar is mounted on the water tank
next to the side dash unit and helps keep
water and other contaminates from being
sucked into the pump. The secondary jar is
located adjacent to the vacuum pump
behind the form right wheel of the machine.
Visually inspect and empty the containment jar
on a regular basis. The jars unscrews by hand.
Failure to empty this jar will result in vacuum
pump damage.
Primary Water Jar
Secondary Water Jar
Drill Mode
Introduction and Initial Settings: The following
items can only be used or adjusted with the
function switch in DRILL mode. The
recommended pressure settings are maximum
limits. They will typically only be reached
intermittently if rebar or hard spots are
encountered when drilling.
Cylinder Pressure
The cylinder pressure controls how hard the bit
pushes downward. The pressure is factory set
at 200 psi and should rarely need adjustments.
Monitor the cylinder pressure using the 500 psi
gauge on the main hydraulic manifold and
adjust to the factory setting as necessary.
1. Start the engine.
2. Move the function switch to Drill.
3. Turn off the Drill Rpm cartridge.
4. If no bit is attached to the machine, press the
Drill Down button to fully extend the cylinder. If
a bit is attached to the machine, place a sturdy
block of wood under the bit and press the Drill Down button to push the bit against the piece
of wood (as if trying to lift the front end of the
machine).
5. Holding the Drill Down button, adjust the
Cylinder Pressure Base End valve on the main
hydraulic manifold to adjust the cylinder
pressure. DO NOT exceed 200 psi when drilling
without the vacuum. Note: Use caution and
good judgment when increasing the pressure
above 200 psi, which will increase the risk of
jammed bits.
6. Press the Drill Up button to raise the cylinder for
proper ground clearance.
Cylinder Speed
While holding the drill DOWN switch, turn the
small black knob at the top right of the main
hydraulic manifold. This sets the maximum
speed the drill can move (unless in TURBO
mode) and should be set to the slow end of
the adjustment, Slow speed is particularly
important at initial drill to ground contact. This
setting should rarely need adjustment.
Drill Motor Pressure Switch
Cylinder Speed
Adjustable
13
An adjustable pressure switch monitors the drill
motor pressure and will automatically shift the
cylinder to neutral (stops pushing) if it senses
the drill motor pressure rises above 1500 psi
(hard spots). The cylinder will then
automatically cycle ON/OFF as the drill works
through rebar or other hard spots.
• DO NOT exceed the core bit’s
maximum recommended
speed when drilling. Excessive
drilling speeds at first contact
with the concrete surface can
cause bit breakage, resulting in serious
injuries and/or death.
• DO NOT use damaged core bits when
drilling to avoid harming yourself, others, or
the machine.
Diamond Core Bits
Using the proper core bit (size and type)
preserves the bit and improves drilling and
operator efficiency, resulting in lower costs.
Refer to www.diamondproducts.com for
additional drilling and core bit information.
Inspecting the Core Bit
Inspect each core bit prior to installation and
discard all damaged bits. Inspect all core bits
for:
Raising and Lowering the Drill
The DRILL DOWN, DRILL UP, and TURBO switches
are intermittent switches and must be held to
operate. Holding UP or DOWN and TURBO will
raise and lower the drill more rapidly for initial
positioning and quickly pulling a bit out of a
hole. These switches will not work when the
AUTO DRILL mode is selected.
Raising and Lowering Frame and Mast
To establish a more solid base, the pneumatic
tires are raised off the ground. This same action
places the vacuum base firmly on the ground.
Electric cylinders at the front and rear of the
machine are controlled by intermittent
switches located on the main side control
panel. The frame should be raised until the
front tires are just clear of the ground.
Independently adjusting the front and rear
controls allows slight leveling of the machine.

• Missing segments
• Bent segments
• Segment cracks
Core Bit Speeds
Refer to the chart on the machine for the
recommended core bit speeds when drilling.
DO NOT exceed the maximum recommended
drilling speed.
Installing a Core Bit
• Be extremely careful when
installing a core bit by hand
with the spindle shaft
activated to avoid
entanglement.
• Failure to properly secure the core bit to the
spindle shaft may cause the bit to loosen or fall
off the machine.
• Wear gloves and be alert to
14
the surrounding environment
when handling core bits.
1. Select the correct core bit size and type for the
drilling task.
2. Raise the spindle shaft to provide room to
install the core bit.
3. For smaller core bits: Holding the bit with both
hands, screw the hub onto the spindle shaft
until it bottoms out on the shaft. Make sure the
bit is secure (the bit will tighten further once it
enters the concrete).
4. For larger core bits:
a) Place the bit under the spindle shaft and
align the bit and hub with the shaft threads.
b) Start the engine.
c) Set the Drill Rpm cartridge to the slowest
rotating speed.
d) Set the Cylinder Speed knob to a very slow
speed.
e) Press the Drill Down button to slowly lower
the spindle shaft until the threads are
engaged with the hub. CAUTION: Proper
hub and spindle shaft alignment is critical to
avoid cross threading when installing the
core bit. Stop immediately and readjust the
bit if the shaft and hub are not aligned when
installing the bit. When aligned, the shaft will
screw itself into the hub and lift the bit off
the ground. If required, apply light
resistance to the bit to prevent spinning,
which will allow the shaft to screw itself
completely into the bit.
f) Turn off the Drill Rpm cartridge.
5. Raise the core bit to provide clearance
between the bit and the ground.
Removing a Core Bit
Move all body parts away from
the core bit when releasing the bit
from the spindle shaft.
1. Lower the core bit to be very close to the
ground.
2. Grasp the flats near the top of the spindle using
the wrench provided. Hold the wrench in
place to stabilize the spindle shaft and use
another appropriate tool to grasp the core bit
hub.
3. Turn the tool clockwise to loosen the core bit.
Remove smaller bits by hand when the bit is
near the end of the threads. Continue
removing larger bits using the tool; the bit will
release and fall to the ground. Note: Keeping
the bit close to the ground or dropping it onto
stable pieces of wood will help prevent
segment damage when the bit releases.
4. When the bit is near the end of the threads,
a. Remove smaller bits by hand,
b. Allow larger buts to release and fall
to the ground. Keep bit close to the
ground to minimize impact and help
prevent segment damages.
Dropping the bit onto would or other
soft surfaces will reduce impact.
•Excessive drilling speeds or lowering to quickly of
bit at first contact with the
concrete surface can cause bit
breakage, resulting in serious
injuries and/or death.
•Turn off all electricity, gas, and
water around the work area prior to drilling.
•Use extreme caution when
drilling through floors. Another
trained worker must clear the
surrounding area on the lower
floor prior to drilling in case the
core falls to the lower floor.
Helpful Hints Prior to Drilling
Keep the following in mind for better efficiency
while drilling:
•Avoid drilling excessively deep to preserve the
core bit and reduce costs.
•For proper vacuum suction, make sure the
drilling surface is clean and solid (no cracks,
dents, etc.). Wetting the surface can help when
vacuum sealing.
•Use a proper water flow to prevent damaged
and stuck bits. Using too much water when
drilling will make the slurry look clear. Not using
enough water will make the slurry look thick and
pasty.
Tasks Prior to Drilling
Complete the following tasks prior to drilling:
•Raise the core bit to provide clearance
between the bit and the ground when
maneuvering the machine.
• Clearly mark the drilling area.
• Be sure the work area does not contain any
buried or embedded electrical, gas, or water
lines.
Drilling a Hole
15
Reminder: Always refer to the Drill Mode section in
Operating the U to set the cylinder pressure and drill
motor pressure prior to drilling.
1. Position the machine and core bit.
2. Move the function switch to Drill.
3. Lower the front mast and rear legs. All tires
should just clear the ground and the front and
rear tire height should match up so the machine
is level.
4. Turn on the Vacuum switch and close the
vacuum valve. Check the vacuum gauge for
pressure; stop to determine the problem when
suction fails. Skip this step if the vacuum cannot
be used when drilling.
5. If the machine is equipped with a 2-speed drill
motor, set the motor to High for bits up to 10”
and Lo for bits larger than 10”.
6. Adjust the Drill Rpm cartridge based on the bit
size. Refer to the core drilling speeds chart on
the machine for the recommended core bit
speeds when drilling. DO NOT exceed the
maximum recommended drilling speed.
7. Turn on the Water switch.
8. Turn on the water valve and adjust the water
flow valve to increase or decrease the water
flow. Note: Always have a proper water
pressure and flow when drilling for maximum
core bit efficiency. DO NOT continue drilling
when a problem arises with the water system.
9. Push the Drill Down button and SLOWLY lower
the bit to start the hole. Once ground contact is
made continue drilling to the desired depth, or
release the Drill Down button and turn the Auto Drill switch to On/Drill (the bit will lower until the
cylinder fully extends or until Auto Drill is turned
off) to drill to the desired depth. DO NOT use
Auto Drill until after the bit has contacted the
surface to prevent serious injuries or damage to
the machine.
10. Release the Drill Down button or turn off the
Auto Drill switch.
11. Press the Drill Up button to raise the bit out of the
hole. Note: Pressing the Turbo and Drill Up buttons together will raise the bit quickly.
12. Turn off the Drill Rpm cartridge.
13. Decrease the water flow and turn off the water
valve and Water switch.
14. If used, turn off the Vacuum switch and open
the vacuum valve to release suction.
15. Lower all tires to the ground. Note: Make sure
the mast and rear legs are fully lifted for
maximum ground clearance.
16. Move the function switch to Start/Drive.
Continuing a Partial-Hole
1. Inspect the drill hole and remove, if possible,
items that may cause the bit to stick (lost core
bit segments, broken concrete).
2. Align the bit with the previous hole and slowly
lower the bit back into the hole. DO NOT drill
unless the core bit is aligned with the hole.
3. Finish drilling the hole following the directions
directly above.
Stuck Cores
Removing a Stuck Core
4. Remove the core bit from the machine.
5. Move the bit away from the work area.
6. Lay the bit on the ground. DO NOT hammer on
the core bit to avoid denting the tube, which
can result in additional problems and increased
hang-ups.
7. Option 1:
a) Place a metal spike through the hub and
drive the core out of the bit.
b) Inspect the bit for damages and clean or
replace as necessary.
8. Option 2:
a) Thread a piece of threaded rod (1-1/4-7)
through the hub until it contacts the
concrete.
b) Place two hex nuts on the rod end and lock
them against each other.
c) Holding the bit in place, grasp both nuts
using a wrench and turn to push the rod
against the concrete, which will drive the
core out of the bit.
d) Inspect the bit for damages and clean or
replace as necessary.
DO NOT hammer or pry on the bit! This will dent the
tube, which can result in additional prob lems and
increase hang-ups.
Stuck Bits
Stuck core bits happen most frequently in the
following circumstances:
•An insufficient water supply allows slurry to
accumulate, causing the drill to seize.
•Pushing the drill down too hard can cause
the machine’s frame to shift slightly (more
susceptible when not using the vacuum).
•Drilling completely through a slab may
cause segments to catch at the bottom
edge of the hole when raising the bit.
•Partially cutting through a piece of rebar
with just the outer edge of the bit (mooning)
can deflect the bit, causing it to jam. Slowly cutting through rebar or hard spots may help.
Removing a Stuck Bit
3.Turn off the Drill Rpm cartridge.
16
1.Release the Drill Down button or turn off the Auto
Drill switch. Press the Drill Up or Drill Down button
and Turbo button together to raise and lower the
bit to try and free it. Note: If the bit is not spinning,
turn the Drill Rpm cartridge on and off to try and
get the bit to spin (this will cause the drill motor
pressure to max out). If the bit is spinning, try to
keep it spinning while attempting to raise the bit.
Continue with step 2 if this attempt fails.
2. If the bit has moved toward the rear of the hole,
lower the rear legs slightly to attempt to realign the
bit. If the bit has moved toward the front of the
hole, raise the rear legs slightly to attempt to
realign the bit. Use the Drill Up and Drill Down
button while slightly raising and lowering the rear
legs or front mast in an attempt to find the breakfree position. Continue with step 3 if this attempt
fails.
4. Move the function switch to Start/Drive.
5. Turn off the engine.
6. Grasp the flats near the top of the spindle using
the wrench provided and turn counterclockwise
to disconnect the spindle shaft from the bit.
7. Move the machine away from the bit. Note: It may
be necessary to start the machine, lower the tires,
and raise the cylinder for proper ground
clearance.
8. Thread a piece of threaded rod (1-1/4-7) through
the hub until it contacts the concrete.
9. Place two hex nuts on the rod end and lock them
against each other.
10. Grasp both nuts using a wrench and turn to push
the rod against the concrete, which will pull the bit
out of the concrete.
NOTE: Inspect the bit for damages and clean or
replace as necessary.
