General Safety Information
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious
personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Work Area Safety
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
Electrical Safety
• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet,
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the
grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces. There
is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is
grounded.
• Do not expose electrical tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a tool will increase the risk of
electrical shock.
• Do not abuse cord. Never use the cord to carry the
tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electrical shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an out-
door extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electrical shock.
• Use only three-wire extension cords which have
three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug. Use of other
extension cords will not ground the tool and increase
the risk of electrical shock.
• Use proper extension cords. (See chart.) Insufficient
conductor size will cause excessive voltage drop, loss
of power.
• Keep all electric connections dry and off the
ground. Do not touch plugs or tool with wet hands.
Reduces the risk of electrical shock.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medications. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
elry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jew-
elry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is OFF
before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on
the switch or plugging tools in that have the switch ON
invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys before turning the tool
ON. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating
part of the tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Wear hearing protectors, ear plugs or muffs when
using tool. Noise level may affect hearing with prolonged use.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-

tion. Dusk mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities
contains 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
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 filter out
microscopic particles.
Tool Use and Care
• Do not use if switch does not turn it ON or OFF.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories
or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended for
your tool. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool
may become hazardous when used on another tool.
• Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and
grease. Allows for better control of the tool.
Service
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified repair personnel could result in injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
Section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a
risk of electrical shock or injury.
Specific Safety Information
WARNING!

Department at (800) 519-3456 if you have any questions.
Machine Safety
• Core Drilling Machine is made to drill holes in
granite, masonry and steel reinforced concrete.
Follow instructions on proper use of this machine.
Do not use for other purposes. Other uses or mod-
ifying this machine for other applications may increase
the risk of serious injury.
• Do not wear loose cloth gloves or loose clothing
when operating machine. Wear only leather gloves.
Keep sleeves and jackets buttoned. Do not reach
across the machine or drill bit. Clothing can be
caught by the machine resulting in entanglement and
serious injury.
• Use extreme caution when drilling through floors.
Provide protection of all personnel and material
below the area. Cores generally drop from the drill at
completion of the hole.
• Keep fingers and hands away from drill bit. This
practice will prevent entanglement and reduces risk of
being cut.
• Secure drill stand to the work surface. Use bolts,
ceiling jack or vacuum hold-down. Do not secure
with a vacuum hold-down when drilling on vertical
surfaces such as walls. Drill stand must be prop-
erly secured to prevent bit damage and serious injury.
• When releasing carriage locking handle, maintain
a firm grip on feed handle to prevent feed handle
from revolving due to weight of drill. Rotating han-
dle can result in injury.
• Do not force drill bit. Drill should be used at a
speed and feed rate that does not overload the
motor. When starting bits, do not use more than two
12″ extensions. Less likely to bind and lose control.

Machine Inspection
WARNING!
To prevent serious injury, inspect your Core Drilling
Machine. The following inspection procedures
should be performed on a daily basis:
1. Make sure Core Drilling Machine is unplugged and the
drill mast switch is set to the OFF position (Figure 1).
2. Inspect the vacuum seal for wear or damage. Replace
if necessary.
3. Inspect the power cord and plug for damage. If the
plug has been modified, is missing the grounding
prong or if the cord is damaged, do not use the
Threading Machine until the cord has been replaced.
4. Inspect the Core Drilling Machine for any broken,
missing, misaligned or binding parts as well as any
other conditions which may affect the safe and normal
operation of the machine. If any of these conditions
are present, do not use the machine until any problem
has been repaired.
5. Lubricate the Core Drilling Machine if necessary according to the Maintenance Instructions.
6. Use drill bits and accessories that are designed for
your Core Drilling Machine and meet the needs of your
application. The correct tools and accessories allow
you to do the job successfully and safely. Accessories
designed for use with other equipment may be hazardous when used with this Core Drilling Machine.
7. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from all handles and
controls. This reduces the risk of injury due to a tool or
control slipping from your grip.
Inspect the cutting edges of your drill bits. If necessary, have them replaced prior to using the Core
Drilling Machine. Bit is considered worn when the
crown shows excessive wear and has become flush
with tube. Dull or damaged cutting tools can lead to
binding and tool breakage.
Machine and Work Area Set-Up
WARNING!
To prevent serious injury, proper set-up of the
machine and work area is required. The following
procedures should be following to set-up the machine.
1. Check that the work area has the following:
• Adequate lighting.
• No Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ig-
nite.
• Grounded electrical outlet.
• Clear path to the electrical outlet that does not
contain any sources of heat or oil, sharp edges or
moving parts that may damage electrical cord.
2. Clean up the work area prior to setting up any
equipment. Move tools and debris to prevent slips
and falls.
3. Make sure drill motor ON/OFF switch is in the OFF
position.
4. When plugging the Core Drilling Machine into the
electrical outlet make sure to position the power cord
along the clear path selected earlier. Use an extension cord in good condition.
To avoid electrical shock and electrical
fires, never use an extension cord that is damaged or
does not meet the following requirements:
• The cord has a three-prong plug similar to shown
in Electrical Safety section.
• The cord is rated as “W” or “W-A” if being used
outdoors.
• The cord has sufficient wire thickness (12 AWG
below 50′). If the wire thickness is too small, the
cord may overheat, melting the cord’s insulation or
causing nearby objects to ignite.
To reduce risk of electrical shock, keep all
electrical connections dry and off the ground. Do not
touch plug with wet hands.

Operating Instructions
WARNING!
Do not wear cloth gloves or loose clothing when
operating Drilling Machine. Keep sleeves and jackets buttoned. Do not reach across the machine.
Keep hands and fingers away from drill bits.
Do not use this Drilling Machine if the ON/OFF
switch or other controls are broken. Always wear
eye protection to protect eyes from dirt and other
foreign objects.
Do not use Drilling Machine if it is not securely anchored.
1. Thread the drilling bit (Figure 4) onto drilling spindle
(Figure 1) and tighten securely with bit wrench.
Never turn drill ON with bit resting on
the concrete.
2. Check hole alignment by lowering drill until it is about
1
/2″ from concrete.
3. Position 2-speed selector knob on drill to desired
speed. Move selector down towards spindle to select
high speed for up through 4″ bits. Move selector
up away from spindle to select low speed for bits
Ridge Tool Company 7
over 4″. Make certain speed is proper for bit diameter being used.
DO NOT move speed selector while drill
spindle is rotating.
NOTE! If a water collector ring and pump is used, plug
pump into a properly grounded 115V receptacle.
Have suitable container for draining.
4. With water control valve shut OFF. connect water
inlet hose to drill and water source.
NOTE! Water can be supplied by a standard garden
hose or by a pressure tank. Water is fed through
inlet hose, down inside of bit, washing cuttings
from under bit crown, up and outside of hole. Be
sure that any method used has adequate water
pressure to supply a flow of 1-2 gallons per
minute. Lack of water can cause diamonds to
polish or burn the bit causing bit end to turn blue.
5. With drill motor ON/OFF switch in OFF position, plug
power cord into a properly grounded receptacle.
6. Open water control valve allowing water to flow at 12 gallons per minute.
Before turning drill motor ON, be certain
that machine is securely anchored.
7. Turn drill motor ON/OFF switch to ON position.
DO NOT apply full load until entire bit
crown has penetrated the material.
8. Turn feed handle to apply load on bit. To prevent bit
from wandering, apply light pressure on feed handle
while starting to drill.
NOTE! The AMP-meter has a green and red area to in-
dicate proper pressure and drilling speed,
preventing motor overload and providing longer
bit life. The green area is the working range;
the red area indicates too much pressure being
applied. Keep Amp-meter needle in the green
area. Too little pressure can polish bit and too
much can cause undue wear.
9. Drill bit feed should be uniform without excessive
force. Drilling penetration of 1″ to 4″ per minute may
be achieved in concrete depending on material and bit
diameter. Proper feed pressure is determined by load
on motor and reading on Amp-meter. To maximize life
of drill bit, regulate feed rate so that needle on Ampmeter is in upper green area of 20 amp range. If
needle goes into red area above 20 amps, decrease
feed rate as undue bit wear will result.
NOTE! If the cooling water turns clear, it is an indication
you are drilling through rebar.

10. Your control panel amp-meter will go into the red
area when you hit steel. When you encounter rebar,
lessen feed feed rate to allow needle to return to the
green area.
NOTE! It is recommended that after cutting steel, you
stop and break out core and any loose pieces of
steel, then proceed.
When drilling steel embedded in concrete, never switch to HIGH speed if you are drilling in
LOW speed. These bits are not designed to drill through
solid steel.
Use extreme care when drilling through
floors. Provide for protection of all personnel and material below the area. Cores generally drop from drill bit at
completion of the hole.
Removing Cores
Breaking a Core
1. If you are not drilling completely through, the core can
be easily broken by inserting a screwdriver into the
drilled groove and prying the core to the opposite side.
2. Use a second screwdriver to lift core out.
Removing Broken Core Below the Surface
1. Use a 1/8inch diameter steel rod.
2. Make a 1/4inch long 90° bend at one end.
3. Insert rod down side of broken core to depth of break,
twist 90° and lift core out.
Removing Broken Core Stuck In Bit
Unplug machine cord from power source.
1. Increase water pressure and try to free core with
your hands.
2. If unable to free core, remove bit from drill.
3. Push core gently through from top of bit with a rod
using a capped bit.
Removing a Lodged Bit from Hole
Unplug machine cord from power source.
1. Turn Water ON.
2. Using bit wrench, try to rotate bit in both directions and
lift out using feed handle.
3. If unable to free bit, turn water OFF and disconnect bit
from drill spindle. Use bit wrench again, rotating back
and forth and rocking until free.
Installing Bit Extension Rods
In order to drill deeper than the 13″ long bit will allow, bit
extension rods must be used. Drilling rate will be slower
because of the extra amount of drag on the bit walls.
NOTE! When it is necessary to place the drilling ma-
chine above the surface being drilled, do not
use a bit extension rod that is longer than 12″.
1. Drill to full depth of bit.
2. Back drill out and remove bit and core.
3. Put drill bit back into hole and connect a 4, 6 or 12″ bit
extension rod to bit and secure with spindle wrench.
4. Screw bit extension rod onto drill spindle and secure
with spindle wrench.
5. Proceed with drilling.

Qué cubre

país a país.
