MK-130/3 SAFETY

SILICA DUST WARNING

Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials with silica in their composition
may give off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz,
brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of
airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis. In ad­dition, California and some other authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a substance
known to cause cancer. When cutting such materials, always follow respiratory precautions.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 MESSAGE

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities con­tain chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead, from lead-based paints

• Crystalline silica, from bricks and cement and other masonry products

• Arsenic and chromium, from chemically treated lumber

For further information, consult the following sources:

http://www.osha.gov/dsg/topics/silicacrystalline/index.html
http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/consilic.html
http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/law/P65law72003.html
http://www.dir.ca.gov/Title8/sub4.html

Your risk from these exposures varies depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic particles.

MK-130/3 SAFETY

SAFETY LABELS

Safety labels contain important safety information. Please read the information contained on each
safety label. These labels are considered a permanent part of your drill. If a label comes off or
becomes hard to read, contact MK Diamond or your dealer for a replacement.

PRE-START SAFETY

1. When drilling ceilings or walls make sure you will not cut through electrical mains, gas or water

pipes. Use metal detection systems if needed.

2. Before using the machine you need to check the cord and plug. If they are damaged or cut during

use do not touch it, but instantly disconnect from the power source. Repairs should only be
made by an authorized specialist. Take care that the tool is switched off when plugged into a
power receptacle.

3. Unplug and switch the machine off if it is not under supervision, when setting up and

stripping down the machine, in case of excessive voltage drop or when xing or
mounting an accessory.

4. Switch the machine off if it stops for whatever reason to avoid accidental starts.

7

MK-130/3 PRODUCT SPECIFICATION

5. Don’t use the machine if a part of the housing is damaged or in case of damages on the switch,

cable or plug (check it every day).

6. When using the drill, cooling water is not allowed to get into the motor or any electrical parts.

7. Stop working if water is dripping out of the overrunning bore hole and take the machine to an

authorized service center.

8. Overhead-drilling should be done with using suitable safety measures (water collection).

9. After a breakdown, the machine should only be switched on again if the drill bit can be turned.

10. Before starting your work, check that the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is functioning

properly by pressing the test button. The GFCI must never lay in the water.

11. When using the machine with manual control always hold it with both hands and take up a safe

position. Pay attention to the reaction torque of the machine.

12. If drilling through ceilings, secure the place below, because the core may fall downward.

MK-130/3 OPERATION

INSTRUCTIONS

The MK-130/3 is designed for wet drilling in concrete and stone using diamond core bits. For drilling
diameters bigger than 1-1/2” using 1st or 2nd speed, use a suitable drill stand.

CAUTION

Hand Drilling in 1st gear is strongly not recommended as the high torque created
can be extremely dangerous and cause injury.

The operator is responsible for all damages which may arise due to improper use.

AUXILIARY HANDLE

In hand held drilling operations, only use the MK 130/3 with the enclosed auxiliary handle. This handle
must be tightened on the collar by turning the handle.

ELECTRIC SAFETY

The MK-130/3 machine has class 1 protection. For operator protection this machine must only be
used with a GFCI.

Check that the voltage and frequency available are compatible with the drive motor. A ± 5% voltage
difference is allowed. For protection purposes the machine is equipped with a integrated GFCI switch
for the direct connection to a grounded socket. Check the GFCI before using the machine (please
read the separate instructions).

NOTICE:

Don’t use the GFCI-switch for switching the machine ON/OFF.

Use only a 3-wire extension cable with grounding conductor and sufcient cross-section (12 gauge
min.). A cross-section which is too small could lead to excessive voltage drop and to overheating the
motor and the cable.

GEAR SHIFTING

Choose the proper gear and speed according to the drill bit size used. To switch gears, turn drill
spindle by hand until gears mesh/align.

MK-130/3 OPERATION

ON-OFF SETTING

The machine is equipped with an ON/OFF switch with a lock button which allows a soft start-up and
accurate spot-drilling.

Don’t lock the switch for hand-drilling!CAUTION:

Short-Time Operation - Free-Hand Drilling

Switching-ON: press the on/off switch
Switching-OFF: release the on/off switch

Permanent Operation - Drilling with Drill Stand

Switching-ON: press the on/off switch and, keeping it pressed, engage the lock button
Switching-OFF: release the on/off switch and let it go off again

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

In order to protect the operator, the machine and the drill bit, the machine is equipped with mechani­cal, and electronic overload protection.

Mechanical: If the drill bit suddenly binds in the hole, a clutch will slip, disengaging the
drill motor from the bit.

Electronic: In case of electrical overload, the overcurrent switch will shut off the motor. The
electrical reset button is on the handle opposite the ON/OFF switch. After a
cooling off period, the overload can be reset and the motor restarted.

To prevent mechanical or electrical overloads, let the drill do the work and do
not use excessive pressure. Overload trips ARE NOT FAILURES. The over­ loads are there to protect the operator, the motor, and the circuit the drill is
running on.

NOTE:

The stopping of the machine caused by overload is not a failure. After an adequate
time it is possible to restart working.

10

MK-130/3 MAINTENANCE

WATER SUPPLY

The machine is equipped with an internal water supply through the work spindle. Using the ball tap
you can regulate the water quantity. The water supply is equipped with a connector for garden-hose
coupling.

If there is a water leakage on the hole of the gear collar, stop your work immediately. In this case, the
shaft seals have to be changed from a authorized skilled workshop.

CAUTION:

NOTE:

CARE AND MAINTANCE

Before starting work, ensure the machine is disconnected from the power source. Repairs have to be
carried out only by qualied and experienced personnel.

After every repair, the machine has to be inspected by an electric specialist. Due to its design, the
machine requires minimum care and maintenance. The following maintenance needs to be performed
regularly.

• The electric tool as well as the ventilation slots always have to be clean.

• During work, please pay attention that no foreign elements get into the interior of the machine.

• In case of failure, a repair has to be carried out by an authorized service center.

The water pressure should not be higher than 3 bar.

When drilling “overhead,” you have to control the water at the drill hole by us­ing a water suction ring and wet-vacuum cleaner for safety.
