NOTE
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized test giveninEN12348andmaybeusedtocompare used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool.

used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Workfare safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or  moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dustrelated hazards.

Power tool use and care

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clea n. Properly mainlined cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Service

• Have your power tool servicedby a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

• The machine may be operated only with a functional ground fault circuit interrupter (RCD residual current device). Check each time before use that your electric supply is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter. Make sure that the ground fault circuit interrupter is functioning.
  Approval must be obtained from the site engineer or architect prior to beginning drilling work. Drilling work on buildings and other structures may influence the statics of the structure, especially when steel reinforcing bars or load-bearing components are cut through.

• When drilling through walls, secure (cordon off) the area behind the wall, as material or the core may fall out on the other side of the wall. When drilling through ceilings, secure (cordon off) the area below as drilled material or the core may drop out and fall down.

• In order to avoid accidents in which persons fall and injure themselves, the opening that is created must be securely and visibly cordoned off.

• Place the mounting device on a solid, flat and level surface. If the mounting device can slip or wobble, the machine cannot be guided smoothly and safely.

• Check the nature of the surface. Rough surfaces may reduce the holding power of the drill stand. Coatings or composite materials may pull away from the surface while you are working, so that the drill stand with the core drilling machine are no longer held securely.

• Do not overload the mounting device and do not use it as a substitute for a ladder or platform. Overloading the mounting device or standing on it may shift its center of gravity to a higher position,.

• Wear respiratory protection if the work causes dust.

• Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.

• It is recommended that rubber gloves and non-skid shoes are worn when working outdoors.

• Keep the supply cord, extension cord, suction hose and vacuum hose away from rotating parts.

• Don’t work from a ladder.

• Keep the workplace tidy. Objects which could cause injury should be removed from the work-ing area. Untidiness at the workplace can lead to accidents.

• Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to secure the workpiece. The workpiece is thus held more securely than by hand and both hands remain free to operate the machine.

• Always lead the supply cord and extension cord away from the power tool to the rear while working. This helps to avoid tripping over the cord while working.

General safety rules

• Fit the protective cover cap only when the drilling feed unit is unplugged. Operate the core drilling machine only when the connecting socket is covered, iewhen the protective cover cap is fit-ted. If the protective cover cap is missing, contact Hilti Service and obtain a replacement. Unplug the core drilling machine from the electric supply immediately if water enters the connecting socket. Check to ensure that the connecting socket is dry before making further use of the core drilling machine. The connecting socket may fill with water if it is not covered by the protective cap or if the connecting plug is not in place, resulting in a risk of electric shock if the parts are touched.
• Keep the grips dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
• Never leave the machine unattended.
• Store machines in a secure place when not in use. When not in use, machines must be stored in a dry, high place or locked away out of reach of children.
• Keep other persons away. Do not allow other per-sons who are not involved in the work, especially children, to touch neither the machine nor the extension cable. Keep these persons away from the working area.
• Children must be instructed not to play with the machine.
• The machine is not intended for use by children, by debilitated persons or those who have received no instruction or training.
• Never operate the machine without the RCD. If the machine has no RCD: never operate the machine without an isolating transformer. Test the RCD each time before use.
• Tampering with or modification of the machine, drill stand and accessories is strictly prohibited.
• Check the machine and its accessories for any damage. Guards, safety devices and any slightly damaged parts must be checked carefully to ensure that they function faultlessly and as intended. Check that moving parts function correctly without sticking and that no parts are damaged. All parts must be fitted correctly and fulfill all conditions necessary for correct operation of the machine. Damaged guards, safety devices and other parts must be repaired or replaced properly at an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated in the operating instructions.
• Regularly check the hoses for damage and make sure that the maximum permissible water supply pressure of 6 bar is not exceeded.
• Avoid skin contact with drilling slurry.
• Wear a protective mask during work that generates dust, e.g. dry drilling. Connect a dust removal system. Drilling in materials hazardous to the health (e.g. asbestos) is not permissible.
• Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the
• operator or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech dust especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Material containing asbestos must only be treated by specialists. Where the use of a dust extraction device is possible it shall be used. To achieve a high level of dust collection, use a suitable vacuum cleaner of the type recommended by Hilti for wood dust and/or mineral dust together with this tool. Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated. The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended.
• Use the right tool or machine for the job. Do not use the tool or machine for purposes for which it was not intended. Use it only as directed and when in faultless condition.
• Check that all core bits are in good condition before use. Do not use deformed or damaged core bits.
• from the core bit and do not touch any rotating parts. Always unplug the supply cord before touching or making any adjustments to the core bit.

Mechanical

• Follow the instructions concerning care and maintenance.
• Follow the instructions concerning lubrication and changing gcorebits.
• Check that the core bits used are compatible with the chuck system and that they are secured in the chuck correctly.
• Make sure that the machine is correctly and securely mounted on the drill stand.
• Do not touch rotating parts.
• Check that all the clamping screws are correctly tightened.
• As the end stop has a safety-relevant function, always check to ensure that the end stop screw is securely in place on the drill stand.

Electrical

• Check the machine’s supply cord at regular intervals and have it replaced by a qualified specialist if found to be damaged. Check extension cords at regular intervals and replace them if found to be damaged.
• Do not touch the supply cord or extension cord if it is damaged while working. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power outlet.
• In case of an interruption in the electric supply: Switch the machine off and unplug the supply cord.
• Avoid using extension cords with multiple power outlets and the simultaneous use of several electric tools or machines connected to one extension cord.
• Never operate the machine when it is dirty or wet. Dust (especially dust from conductive materials) or dampness adhering to the surface of the machine may, under unfavorable conditions, lead to electric shock. Dirty or dusty machines should thus be checked at a Hilti service center at regular intervals, especially if used frequently for working on conductive materials.
• Before beginning work, check the working area (e.g. using a metal detector) to ensure that no concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes are present. External metal parts of the machine may become live, for example, when an electric cable is damaged accidentally. This presents a serious risk of electric shock.

   If the protective end cap with built-in end stop is not already fitted, fit it now.

Fitting the hand wheel

The hand wheel can be fitted on the lefthand side or the right-hand side of the carriage on two different shafts. On both sides of the carriage, the upper shaft provides a direct drive while the lower shaft drives the carriage through reduction gearing.

1. Fit the hand wheel onto one of the two shafts on the left-hand or right-hand side of the carriage.
2. Secure the hand wheel with the screw.

WARNING
Use an anchor suitable for the material on which you are working and observe the anchor manufacturer’s instructions.

NOTE
Hilti M16 metal expansion anchors are usually suitable for fastening diamond core drilling equipment to untracked concrete. Under certain conditions it may be necessary to use an alternative fastening method. Please contact Hilti Technical Service if you have any questions about secure fastening.

1. If you are working without a spacer, the anchor for the base plate should be set, as far as possible, at a distance of 330 mm (13 “) from the center of the hole to be drilled.
   NOTE The optimum distance is 330 mm (13 “). If a spacer is used, this distance increases.

2. Screw the anchor spindle into the anchor.

3. Place the drill stand over the anchor spindle and then use the hole center indicator to position it correctly.
   NOTE If a spacer is fitted, the hole center indicator cannot be used to position the drill stand.

4. Screw the clamping nut onto the anchor spindle, leaving it loose enough to allow movement of the base plate.

5. Level the base plate by turning the 3 leveling screws. Use the 2 leveling indicators on the carriage as an aid. Take care to ensure that the leveling screws make firm contact with the underlying surface.

6. Use a 27 mm AF open-end wrench to tighten the clamping nut on the anchor spindle.
   NOTE Do not use a hammer or other heavy object when tightening the nut as this can damage the base plate. The brace can be released and folded out of the way to allow better access. Before operating the machine, however, the brace must be refitted and securely attached to the rail.

Fitting the water supply connection

NOTE
Before starting the core drilling machine, check that the 3-way valve is set to the position for wet drilling or dry drilling.

1. Close the valve in the water supply hose.
2. Connect the water supply hose to the hose connector on the core drilling machine.
   NOTE A flow meter, which is available as an accessory, may be fitted between the machine’s water supply hose connector and the water supply hose.

NOTE
Use of the water collection system allows water to be led away in a controlled manner, thus avoiding a mess or damage to the surrounding area. We recommend, as a general rule, that a water collection system is used with core bits of up to 250 mm in diameter. Best results are achieved with a wet-type industrial vacuum cleaner. When drilling overhead on ceilings, the drill stand must be perpendicular to the ceiling (90°) and the sealing ring must correspond to the diameter of the diamond core bit used.

1. Release the screw on the front of the rail at the hinged joint on the drill stand.
