Note
THOROUGHLY READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE
OPERATING THIS MACHINE!
PURPOSE
Ø The purpose of the 4”Z1 Drilling Rig is to connect a handheld drill (sold separately)
for the purpose of cutting through masonry, concrete or other mineral rock types
using annular coring bits. Only a proper drill must be connected to this drilling rig
that is specifically made to fit this rig.
Ø These drill rigs are designed to be bolted to the drilling surface using 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 drilling rigs 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 WHEN USING A SEPARATE HAND HELD CORE DRILL
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 drilling rig, 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.
