Safety Precautions

IMPORTANT! THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE OBSERVED.

1. Know your core drilling machine! Read the Operator’s manual carefully. Learn the operation, application and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to this equipment.

2. Ground the machine! The core drill must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The motor is equipped with a three prong grounding type plug to fit the proper type receptacle. The green [or green & yellow] conductor in the cord is grounding wire.

3. NEVER connect the green [or green & yellow] wire to a live terminal.

4. Use only three-wire grounded extension cords suitable for use outdoors and of sufficient gage to accommodate power requirements.

5. Replace frayed or damaged extension cords.

6. Keep the work area clean avoiding cluttered work areas.

7. Consider the work area environment!
Do not expose power tools to rain.
Wear rubber boots to further insulate yourself from the drill.
Mop up all excessive water around the work area before and after drilling.
Keep the work area well lit.

8. Use extreme caution when drilling through floors. Provide for protection of all personnel and material below the area. Cores generally drop from the drill bit at the completion of the hole.

9. Keep visitors away. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the work area.

10. Do not force the bit into the drilling surface.
Use an anchor bolt , ceiling jack or vacuum hold-down attachment when drilling vertically (ÐÏ) into floors.
Only use an anchor bolt or ceiling jack when drilling horizontally (ÕÖ) into a wall or any other vertical surface.

11. Dress properly for the work being performed.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry which can get caught in moving or rotating parts.
Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear is recommended when working outside.
Wear protective covering to contain long hair.

12. Don’t abuse the cord. Never carry the tool by the cord or yank the cord to disconnect the plug from the receptacle.

13. Secure the drill stand to the work surface. Use an anchor bolt, ceiling jack or vacuum attachment to secure the drill stand to the work surface.

14. NEVER stand on the drill stand base as a method of securing the drill stand!

15. Don’t overreach! Keep proper footing and balance at all times. The slippery surface created during the drilling operation results in unstable footing.

16. ALWAYS disconnect the power before servicing or changing accessories or bits.

17. ALWAYS check, then make sure wrenches are removed from the motor spindle and bit adapter before connecting power or starting the drill motor.

18. ALWAYS make sure power switch is in “off” position before connecting drill to power.

Caution: It is very important that the drilling machine is properly secured to the work surface.

Movement during drilling will cause bit chatter against work surface, fracturing diamonds or binding bit in the hole.
