Operations
Note
THOROUGHLY READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE
OPERATING THIS MACHINE!
PURPOSE
Ø The purpose of the 10”Z1/RB Core Drill is to drill through masonry, concrete or other mineral rock types
using annular coring bits.
Ø These drills are designed to be bolted to the drilling surface through their base.
o NOTE: Make sure the base fits completely on the surface and the base is securely fastened using
wedge anchors to bolt to the surface.
Ø These machines can be used vertically, horizontally or overhead (inverted) provided an acceptable work
environment. NOTE: For safety, when drilling horizontally or overhead a safety chain/strap should always
be used.
o CAUTION: If drilling overhead you are only permitted to use dry type core bits with a vacuum
system. “Wet” type holes overhead would allow water into the motor and create an extremely
dangerous situation.
OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLES
Ø The main drilling shaft rotates in a forward clockwise direction. The main drilling motor connects to the
tool spindle to make contact with a surface and slowly bore a hole. Using the feed handles on the side of
the drill, the user can raise or lower the drilling motor.
Ø These drills are ONLY to be used with diamond impregnated coring bits.
o When drilling with “wet” type bits, the bit ends pulverizes the material and the water brings the
material out of the cut.
o When drilling with “dry” type bits, the bit end pulverizes the material and dust brings the material
out of the cut.
MACHINE COMPONENTS
Ø The main components of the 10”Z1/RB are the spindle, gearbox, motor, carriage, drill stand and wheeled
base. The spindle is driven by the transfer case and the motor.
o These components must be not be removed except by a qualified technician. Power must be
disconnected prior to any service.
Ø This machine has one primary adjusting point for the travel between the drill carriage and the drill stand.
The main way to increase or decrease the users ability to move the drill by hand is with this system. These
