Safety Precautions

• Read the core drill and power source operating manuals pri or to use.

• Only use the core drill in accor da nc e with the local working regulations on

allowed working time

• Check the oil supply to the core drill. The oil supply may not exceed 5 g.p.m. (20 l.p.m.)
/max. 2500 psi (170 bar). Please refer to page 4.

• Make sure that the core bit is firmly fastened in the drill

• For handheld drilling, always use core bits approved for this purpose.

• The Rhino® core drill is supplied with a trigger lock. This may only be used when drilling in a

rig.

• The core drill has an automatic integ r ated clutch that makes the core drill stop if the core bit
jams. However, in case of jamming, always loosen the core bit from the material, before you
start drilling again. The integrated clutch is set from the factory and may not be disturbed.

• Start the core drill just before you start drilling, and stop it once the drilling is done. Do not
let the core drill run freely in the air.

• In case of horizontal drilling or drilling above the head, always be aware of falling debris.

• A fine jet of oil at high pressure can penetrate th e sk i n . It is therefore i mportant never t o

use your fingers to check for oil leaks and never to hold your face close to suspected leaks –
use a piece of cardboard instead. If oil has penetrated the skin, you should get medical
treatment immediately.

• Never leave the core drill unattached when connected to the powerpack.

• Always use approved hoses. Contact your dealer, if necessary. Mount the hoses correctly so

that the core drill rotates in the correct (clockwise) direction.

• The operator must pay extra attentio n and sho w caution when working in difficult wo r ki ng
areas, such as slopes and o ther dangerous environment. Do not reach too far with the core
drill, but always maintain a good footing and keep your balance.

• The operator must be properly trained in using the core drill or under supervision of a
qualified instructor.

• The operator must always use protective goggles, earplugs, hard hat and protective
footwear when operating the core drill.

• Never use the core drill close to utilities, electric, gas, telephone, water, cable, ect. Prior to
operation, check whether there are hidden or buried cables.

• Never wear loose clothing as it may get entangled in the moving parts of the core drill or
other hazards in the work area.

• Inspection or cleaning of the core drill, change of core bit or disconnection of hoses may
never be done while the core drill is connected to the powerpack and under pressure as
unintentional activation of the core drill can cause severe damage.

• Always connect hoses to the core drill before starting the powerpack. Be sure that all
couplings are tight.

• The core drill may not be operated if the oil temperature is above 160 F° (70 C°). Operation
at higher temperatures may result in the core drill getting warmer than normal and the
operator risks getting a thermal burn.

• To avoid all personal injury and damage to the core drill, all repair, maintenance a nd service
work must be carried out by authorized or properly trained persons only.

IMPORTANT

• A core drill, when not in use should always be kept in a secured and dry place.

• Always make sure that the core drill l abels and warning signs are legible.

• Always use hoses, couplings and spares as such recommend by Rhino®.

• Repairs may only be carried out by experienced personnel.

• Make sure that all couplings are cleaned before connection.

• Always disconnect the hydraulic circ ui t before connecting or disco nnecting the core drill. If

this is not done, there is a risk of damage to the quick release
couplings or the hydraulic system getting overheated.
