   Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
   SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

2. Work Area
   2.1 Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
   2.2 Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
   2.3 Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

3. Electrical Safety
   3.1 Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way.
   Do not use any adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
   If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
   3.2 Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
   3.3 Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet con di tions.
   Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
   3.4 Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
   Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
   3.5 When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked «W-A» or «W». These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

4. Personal Safety
   4.1 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
   4.2 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
   4.3 Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
   4.4 Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
   4.5 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
   4.6 Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. 4.7 Exercise your fingers during pauses between work to improve the blood circulation in your fingers.

5. Tool Use and Care
   5.1 Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
   5.2 Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
   5.3 Do not use tool if the switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
   5.4 Disconnect the plug from the power source be fore making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
   5.5 Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
   5.6 Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
   5.7 Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
   5.8 Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.

6. Service
   6.1 Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
   6.2 When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual.
   Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

Assembling

Assembling the tool
– Take the tool out of the toolbox.
– Slide the water collector rods into the openings pro-vided on the front side of the tool as far as they will go 2.
– As you do so, keep button 6 depressed and engage the water collector in position on the gear housing by releasing the button when the rods have been fully inserted 3.
– Slide the button to the right to adjust the water collector to the length corresponding to the core bit used (position 1: 6″ working length; position 2: 6″–12″ working length) 4 5.
– Always use the supplied water collector system.
– Always ensure that the diameter of the water collec-tor ring used corresponds to the nominal diameter of the core bit used.
– Always screw the side handle and depth gauge into one of the threaded bushings provided on the gear housing 8.

Inserting the core bit
-DANGERD-
Do not use damaged core bits. Check the core bits for chipping, cracks, or heavy wear each time before use.
Do not use damaged tools. Fragments of the workpiece or a broken core bit may be ejected and cause injury beyond the immediate area of operation.
-NOTE Diamond core bits must be replaced when the cutting performance and/or rate of drilling progress drops significantly.
This generally is the case when the segments reach a height of less than 2 mm.
– Open the chuck by lifting the operating lever 1 30° upwards 10 .
– Check that the core bit connection end and the chuck are clean and undamaged.
– ** Check that the slots in the cutting edge of the core bit to be used still have a depth of at least 0.5 mm (1/16″). If not, the core bit should be replaced as there is otherwise a risk of it becoming stuck in the hole 13.
– Pivot the water collector about its mounting axis as far as it will go.
– From above, insert the cutting edge of the core bit into the water collector ring 11.
– Guide the connection end of the core bit into the opening in the chuck.
– Rotate the core bit in a clockwise direction while pressing it into the chuck as far as it will go 12.
– Return the chuck operating lever 1 to its original position.
– Ensure that the core bit is securely engaged in the chuck.
Connecting the supply cord and the water supply hose**
Check that the detachable electric plug connector is clean and dry before it is connected to thetool. The power plug must be disconnected from the power supply before cleaning the keyed socket on the supply cord.
– Take the supply cord out of the toolbox 14.
– Align the mark on the socket with the mark on the plug on the underside of the tool 14 .
– While in this position, insert the plug into the socket as far as it will go.
– Rotate the keyed socket in a clockwise direction, while applying slight pressure, until it is heard to engage.
– Use a suitable coupling to connect the water supply hose 15.
– Connect the supply cord to the power supply.
– Switch on the GFCI by pressing the black button 16.
– Before operating the tool, check the GFCI safety func-tion by pressing the test button. The test is OK when the test LED extinguishes.

-DANGER-
If the indicator continues to light, further operation of the machine ist not permissible. Have the machine repair ed by a qualified specialist using genuine Hilti spare parts.
– After the test, switch on the GFCI again by pressing the ON button.

Switching off after use

1. Disconnect the mains plug.
2. Release the hose connectors to the diamond core drilling tool. When using the DD-REC 1 hoses, connect the extraction hose and water supply hose couplings together. By use of external water supply, close the water valve and always use a connector with a water-stop to prevent water runs on the tool.
3. Release the keyed plug from the diamond core drilling machine. To do this, pull on the ring and turn the plug in a counterclockwise direction, as far as it will go, and then pull it out.

Operation

Drilling
The water flow can be controlled in one of two ways:

1. Automatic control (preferred) 19
   When the flow control knob is in position 1, the water supply is controlled (started and stopped) automatically by the control switch on the tool. The water flow rate can be adjusted manually by turning the water flow control knob (minimum water flow rate: approx. 1 pint/min.).

2. Bypass mode 19
   When the water regulation wheel is pulled into position 2, the water flow rate can be adjusted manually between 0 GAL/min. and approx. 3/4 GAL/min. by turning the knob.
   This operating mode is used for special applications.
   – Before beginning drilling, adjust the flow control knob to the middle position of its range.
   – Carefully bring the water collector into contact with the surface where the hole is to be drilled.
   – The core bit can be exactly positioned by bringing the centering marks on the water collector into alignment with a cross marked at the position where the hole is to be drilled 20 .
   – To begin drilling, press the control switch 2 before the core bit has been brought into contact with the base material.
   – Begin drilling the hole only when the water flow indicator shows that water is flowing through the core bit 23.
   – Press the core bit gently against the base material.
   – Take care to ensure that the core bit is straight in the hole (i.e., do not allow the core bit to bind against the side of the hole).
   The pressure applied to the core bit should be regulated so that the tool continues to run at full RPM. Application of higher pressure does not increase the rate ofdrilling progress. Keep the tool straight on the hole.
   – Immediately after beginning drilling, check the water flow rate indicator to ensure that water is flowing (water flow rate is within the optimum range when the red and white segments of the rotating wheel are still individually discernible).
   Always keep an eye on the water flow rate indicator while drilling. Insufficient water may cause the core bit to stick in the hole. It may be necessary to adjust the water flow rate manually by turning the flow control knob 3.
   – Switch off the tool after reaching the desired drilling depth or when the hole has been drilled right through and, at the same time, pull the core bit out of the hole.
   – When drilling in the bypass mode, bring the flow control knob 3 back to the zero position.
   – The water collector should be lifted away from the base material only when the core bit has stopped rotating.
   If the water collector is lifted away from the base material while the core bit is still rotating, there is a risk of injury as the core may be thrown out of the bit.

Additional instructions for drilling using the DD-REC1 water recycling unit
– Read and observe the information printed in the DD-REC1 operating instructions.
– When the water recycling unit is used, it must be ensured that the DD-REC1 is in stand-by mode (turn the main switch). This mode is indicated by a green LED (see DD-REC1 operating instructions).
– When in stand-by mode, the DD-REC1 begins to operate when the control switch 2 on the DD EC1 is pressed.
– The water recycling unit continues to run for a few seconds after switching off the DD EC-1. Keep the water collector pressed against the base material during this time so that any remaining water can be removed from the hole or core bit.

Removing the core bit
Care must be taken when removing the core bit as it may be hot, particularly at the cutting edge. Care must also be taken to ensure that the core does not fall out of the core bit unexpectedly.
– To open the chuck, lift the lever 1 to the 30°, position.
– Hold the tool with the tip of the core bit pointing slight-ly downwards 17.
– Rotate the core bit counter-clockwise approx. 60°.
– Pull the core bit out of the chuck away from the tool 18.
– Lift the connection end upwards slightly and pull the core bit out of the water collector towards the rear 21.

Removing the core from the core bit
Note
– After drilling a hole vertically upwards, the water remaining in the core bit must be emptied by tipping the front end of the core bit down.
– Remove the core bit from the chuck.
– Hold the core bit securely and shake it until the core falls out through the connection end to the rear. Should parts of the core remain stuck in the core bit, tap the connection end gently against a soft surface (wood, plastic) while holding it in a vertical position. Alter-natively, use a thin rod to push out the core.
** Before re-inserting the core bit in the tool, ensure that all pieces of the core have been removed from the core bit and from the chuck. Pieces of the core falling out of the core bit while drilling could cause injury.
Removing the core from the hole
– On occasion, a core may stick in the hole. Using a suitable prybar, break the core loose and remove it from the hole.
Removing the water flow sight glass**
– Slide the water flow sight glass release button towards the chuck.
– Lift the water flow sight glass away in an upwards direction.
– Remove the water flow indicator wheel and axle.
– Remove any dirt or fragments.
Check the sight glass seal for damage and replace it if necessary.

Removing the water flow filter 22
– Use a suitable tool to unscrew the water supply con-nector from the housing of the tool.
– Use pliers to carefully remove the filter.
– Check the seal for damage and replace it if necessary.
– When reassembling, check that the seal and the fil-ter are seated correctly.
Procedure in the event of the core bit sticking
The slip clutch will be activated if the core bit sticks. The power tool must then be switched off by the operator.
To release the core bit, proceed as follows:
Using an open-end wrench to release the core bit

1. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power out-let.
2. Grip the core bit close to the connection end with a suitable open-end wrench and rotate the core bit to release it.
3. Plug the supply cord back into the power outlet.
4. Continue the drilling operation.

Using the spider wheel to release the core bit (for use with the drill stand)

1. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power out-let.
2. Release the core bit by rotating it with the spider wheel.
3. Plug the supply cord back into the power outlet.
4. Continue the drilling operation.

Transport and storage
Note
– Store and transport the power tool in is toolbox when possible.
– Open the water flow regulator before storing the pow-er tool. Especially at temperatures below freezing, take care to ensure that no water remains in the power tool.

Care and maintenance

Care
The motor housing, the grip moulding and the belt drive cover are made of impact-resistant plastic. The gear housing is made of magnesium alloy. The grip cover, the side handle cover and supply cord sleeve are made of an elastomer material.
CAUTION
Keep the power tool, especially its grip surfaces, clean and free from oil and grease. Do not use cleaning agents which contain silicone.
The outer casing of the tool is made from impactresistant plastic. Sections of the grip are made from a synthetic rubber material. Never operate the tool when the ventilation slots are blocked. Clean the ventilation slots carefully using a dry brush. Do not permit for-eign objects to enter the interior of the tool. Clean the outside of the tool at regular intervals with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use a spray, steam pressure cleaning equipment or running water for cleaning. This may negatively affect the electrical safety of the tool.
Clean the chuck frequently with a cloth and lubricate it at regular intervals with Hilti grease. Remove any dirt and fragments from the chuck.
Your core bits must also be cared for. Remove any dirt adhering to their surfaces and protect the surfaces from corrosion by rubbing the core bits at regular intervals with an oily cloth. Always keep the connection end clean and slightly greased.
Remove the filter from the water supply connection on the tool and flush the filter gauze with water against the normal flow direction.
If the water flow indicator has become dirty, remove the parts and clean them with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive agents or sharp objects to clean the sight glass.
This may negatively affect functionality of the water flow indicator.
Maintenance
** Check all external parts of the tool for damage at regular intervals and check that all operating con-trols function faultlessly. Do not operate the tool when parts are damaged or when operating controls do not function faultlessly. The tool should be repaired at a Hilti service center.
Insert tools and accessories**
For safety reasons and for optimum transmission of the TOPSPIN action, only DD-C core bits may be used with the DD EC-1. When drilling using special core bits with an effective core depth of 24″, the hole must be predrilled using a shorter core bit and water collector.
The following accessories are available for use with the DD EC-1:
– DD-REC 1 water recycling unit
– DD-CB core removal tool
– Drill stand DD-CR 1

Disposal

Handling drilling and sawing slurry
Working with diamond tools on mineral materials (e.g. concrete) in a wet process produces drilling or sawing slurry. As with fresh cement mortar, it may cause irritation if allowed to come into contact with the skin or eyes.
Wear protective clothing, protective gloves and goggles. With regard to environmental aspects, allowing these slurries to flow directly into rivers, lakes or the sewerage system without suitable pre-treatment is problematical.
Disposal procedure
In addition to the following recommended pre-treatment procedures, the applicable national regulations must be observed when disposing of drilling or sawing slurry.
Ask the local authorities concerned for further information.
Recommended pre-treatment
■ Collect the drilling or sawing slurry (e.g. using a suit- able industrial vacuum cleaner).
■ The fine content of the drilling or sawing slurry should be separated from the water by allowing it to settle (e.g. leave standing for some time or add a coagulation agent).
■ Solid material from the drilling or sawing slurry should be deposited at a construction waste disposal site.
■ Water from the drilling or sawing slurry should be neutralised (e.g. by adding a large quantity of water or other neutralisation agents) before it is allowed to flow into the sewerage system.
