B. Installation instructions

GENERAL / GETTING PREPARED

Power Tool: Hammer and Vacuum

Connect the bit to the proper hammer and, in case of a hollow bit, to the proper vacuum using the DEWALT AirLock™ connector system.

Hollow Bits

Make sure that air flows freely, clean if required.

Undercut Bits

Make sure the cutter blades slides easily over the bow jaw and the gap can be fully closed.

PRIMARY HOLE DRILLING  **HOLLOW BITS

**

Preset Installation

1a. Before drilling, ensure hollow drill bit holes are not  clogged. Using a HSDB of proper size, drill a hole into the base material to the required depth, i.e.
until the collar of the bit touches the concrete surface.
Continue with Step 3.
Thrubolt Installation

1b. Before drilling, ensure hollow drill bit holes are not clogged. Using a HDB of proper size drill a hole into the base material to the required depth.
For this, mark the depth on the bit shank taking the fixture thickness into account.
Continue with Step 3.
CONVENTIONAL BITS
Preset Installation

1c. Using the proper drill bit size, drill a hole into the base material to the required depth.
The tolerances of the drill bit used should meet the requirements of ANSI Standard B212.15. Mark the depth on the bit.
Continue with Step 2.
2. Remove dust and debris from the hole following drilling (e.g. suction, forced air). Continue with Step 3.

UNDERCUTTING HOLLOW BITS

Preset Installation

3a. Insert a HUCB of proper size until it hits the bottom of the hole. Start the hammer at low speed and undercut.
Undercutting is complete when thestopper sleeve is fully compressed, i.e. the gap is closed. Continue with Step 5.

Thrubolt Installation

3b. Insert a HUCB of proper size until it hits the bottom of the hole. Start the hammer at low speed and undercut.
Undercutting is complete when the stopper sleeve is fully compressed, i.e. the gap is closed.
Continue with Step 5.

3c. Insert a UCB of proper size until it hits the bottom of the hole. Start the hammer at low speed and undercut.

ANCHOR SETTING
Preset Installation

5. Insert the anchor into hole. Place setting sleeve over anchor and drive the sleeve over the cone. For this, use either a setting tool for manual installation or a setting tool for power tool installation. Take care that the thread does not get damaged during installation.

6. Verify that the red setting mark is visible on the threaded rod at or above the sleeve.

7. Apply proper torque;
Do not exceed maximum torque.

The cutter blade wears and has to be replaced, depending on the condition of the concrete. Also the bow jaw experience wear at its head over time and needs to be replaced occasionally. The following procedure explains how the cutter blade and the bow jaw, if required, can be changed.

1. Press the pin on the undercutter using a screwdriver
2. Pull out the bow jaw
3. Change the cutter blade
4. Insert the bow jaw old Note: The bow jaw used for the HUCB has an air exhaust on one side. Therefore it is important to ensure that the bow jaw is oriented correctly to match the air inlet in the bit chassis!
5. Align the pin and pinhole and reinsert

TROUBLE SHOOTING

A. Cleaning of primary hollow bit
Hollow bits work best in dry concrete. Take care when drilling in wet concrete. The internal hollow channel of smaller diameter HSDB can clog with concrete dust. It is recommended to occasionally blow through the small hole at the rear of the bit using dry compressed air in case of SDS+ bits. The SDSMAX bits can be cleaned from the inlets at the front using a thin gauge wire to dislodge material build up..

B. Un-jamming of undercut bit
When the cutter blade of the UCB is stuck while undercutting and it cannot be pulled out from the hole, use wrenches as shown in below picture to relieve the cutter blade closed and remove the undercutter from the hole.
After removal, retighten the loosened screw and continue undercutting. This feature is not available for HUCB as these do not tend to jam because of the dust constantly removed during undercutting.
