  Underground gas utilities present an explosion hazard. Other underground utilities may present other hazards.

• Always replace parts with replacement parts recommended by STANLEY.

• Warning: hydraulic fluid under pressure could cause skin injection injury. If you are injured by hydraulic fluid get medical attention immediately.

• WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

  • Lead from lead-based paints,
  • crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
  • arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. Protect yourself and those around you. Research and understand the materials you are cutting. Follow correct safety procedures and comply with all applicable national, state or provisional health and safety regulations relating to them, including, if appropriate arranging for the safe disposal of the materials by a qualified person.

OPERATION

PREOPERATIVE PROCEDURES

PREPARATION FOR INITIAL USE

The tool as shipped has no special unpacking or assembly requirements prior to usage. Inspection to assure the tool was not damaged in shipping and that it does not contain packing debris is all that is required. Otherwise, the tool may be connected to a hydraulic source upon receipt

CHECK HYDRAULIC POWER SOURCE

1. Using a calibrated flow meter and pressure gauge, check that the hydraulic power source develops a flow of 8–10 gpm/30–38 lpm at 2000 psi/140 bar.
2. Make certain the hydraulic power source is equipped with a relief valve set to open at 2200–2300 psi/152– 159 bar maximum.
3. Make certain that the power source return pressure does not exceed 250 psi/17 bar.

CONNECT HOSES

1. Wipe all hose couplers with a clean lint-free cloth before making connections.

2. Connect the hoses from the hydraulic power source to the hose couplers on the tool. It is a good practice to connect the return hose first and disconnect it last to minimize or avoid trapped pressure within the tool.

3. Observe flow indicators stamped on hose couplers to be sure that oil will flow in the proper direction.
   The female coupler is the inlet coupler.

4. Observe the IN and OUT port lettering on the valve block assembly to ensure that the hydraulic flow is in the proper direction. The IN port lettering indicates the inlet (pressure) side.

NOTE:
The pressure increase in uncoupled hoses left in the sun may result in making them difficult to connect.
When possible, connect the free ends of operating hoses together.

USING COOLANT
The RD12 rail drill is equipped with a separate coolant can assembly that is used to deliver coolant to the drill bit. Follow the instructions below to use the coolant can assembly with the rail drill:

1. If operating the rail drill at temperatures above 32 °F/0 °C, fill the coolant can with ordinary tap water.
2. If operating the rail drill at temperatures below  2 °F/0 °C, fill the coolant can with a mixture of 50% ordinary tap water and 50% biodegradable antifreeze.
3. Pressurize the coolant can using the carrying handle/pump.
4. Connect the coolant can assembly to the rail drill using the supplied quick-disconnect coupler.

OPERATING PROCEDURES

1. Observe all safety precautions.
2. Make sure the drill bit you intend to use contains carbide inserts with good cutting surfaces. If the surfaces are worn or chipped, unscrew the retaining screw and rotate the insert to a good cutting surface. If the inserts do not contain a good cutting surface on one of the four sides, replace the inserts. Make sure the bit holder is not damaged.
3. Install the drill bit into the piston machining assembly (24) and then turn it clockwise until it stops.

RAIL TEMPLATES & HOLE GUIDES

NOTE:
The RD12 must be used with rail templates and hole guides. See the chart at the end of this section for selections of rail templates and hole guides.

1. Install a hole guide assembly onto the rail and position it where you want to drill.

2. Install templates onto the rail drill with the rail size facing the rail.
   NOTE:
   To avoid drill bit damage, make sure the drill bit/ piston assembly is fully retracted prior to placing the RD12 on the rail.

3. Set the rail drill over the hole guide on the rail so that the templates are nested between the ball and the base of the rail and the adjustment screw (52) fits in a slot in the hole guide.

4. Adjust the threaded shaft (44) until there is no movement of the rail drill as it sits on the rail and the hole guide. Wiggle the RD12 to remove all looseness. Then lift the handle (49) up and turn the threaded shaft (44) clockwise approximately 1/2 turn. Push the handle (49) down hard to firmly clamp the RD12 to the rail.

TO BEGIN DRILLING

Note:
Do not operate the drill in the fully advanced position for more than 5-10 seconds at one time.

1. Engage the control valve on the hydraulic power source to the ON position.
2. To begin drilling, move the control lever on the rail drill toward the “drill bit” symbol. The drill bit will turn and advance simultaneously. Make sure water is spraying from the bit.

TO STOP DRILLING
Move the control lever to the “0” mark to stop the rail drill.

TO RETRACT THE DRILL BIT
Move the control lever to the “retract” symbol to retract the drill bit.

Figure 2. Retract the Drill Bit

REMOVING THE DRILL BIT

1. Uncouple the water hose from the rail drill.
2. Move the hydraulic circuit control valve to the OFF position and disconnect from the power supply.
3. From the bit end, turn the bit counter clockwise and pull it out.

STORAGE

• Clean the tool thoroughly.
• Remove the drill bit.
• Advance the piston .250 in./6 mm.
• Drain water from the tool.
• Retract the piston
• Store in a dry area

COLD WEATHER OPERATION
Preheat the hydraulic fluid at low engine speed. When using the normally recommended fluids, fluid temperature should be at or above 50 °F/10 °C before use.

Use a biodegradable antifreeze solution such as windshield antifreeze in the spray can. Drain water from the drill when finished using.

TOOL PROTECTION & CARE

Notice
In addition to the Safety Precautions found in this manual, observe the following for equipment protection and care.

• Make sure all couplers are wiped clean before connection.

• The hydraulic circuit control valve must be in the OFF position when coupling or uncoupling hydraulic tools. Failure to do so may result in damage to the quick couples and cause overheating of the hydraulic system.

• Always store the tool in a clean dry space, safe from damage or pilferage.

• Make sure the circuit PRESSURE hose (with male quick disconnect) is connected to the IN port. The circuit RETURN hose (with female quick disconnect) is connected to the opposite port. Do not reverse circuit flow. This can cause damage to internal seals.

• Always replace hoses, couplings and other parts with replacement parts recommended by STANLEY.
  Supply hoses must have a minimum working pressure rating of 2500 psi/172 bar.

• Do not exceed the rated flow (see Specifications) in this manual for correct flow rate and model number.
  Rapid failure of the internal seals may result.

• Always keep critical tool markings, such as warning stickers and tags, legible.

• Tool repair should be performed by experienced personnel only.

• Make certain that the recommended relief valves are installed in the pressure side of the system.

• Do not use the tool for applications for which it was not intended.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If symptoms of poor performance develop, the following chart can be used as a guide to correct the problem.
When diagnosing problems with operation of the drill, always check that the hydraulic power source is supplying the correct hydraulic flow and pressure to the tool as listed in the specifications. Use a flow meter known to be accurate. Check the flow with the hydraulic oil temperature at least 80 °F/27 °C.

source for proper flow and pressure, 8–10 gpm/30–38 lpm, 2000 psi/140 bar.
Couplers or hoses blocked.| Locate and remove restriction.
Hydraulic motor failure.| Inspect and repair.
Hydraulic lines not connected.| Connect lines.
Drill bit dulls quickly.| Incorrect oil flow.| Check that 8–10 gpm/30–38 lpm at 2000 psi/140 bar is available at the rail drill.
Using insufficient amount of coolant.| Rotate or replace insert. Increase flow of coolant. Make sure pressure tank is fully pumped up. Check for plugged water port in drill bit. Check for a clogged inlet filter. Remove pipe plug in end cap and flush with water. Remove end cap and clean filter.
Drill moves on rail during drilling operation.| Not clamped properly.| See clamping instructions.
Wrong templates.| Use correct templates and verify fit to rail.
Template knob(s) not tight| Tighten knobs securely.
Drill vibrates during drilling.| Inserts dull or damaged.| Rotate or replace inserts.
Template knob(s) loose.| Tighten knobs securely.
Not clamped properly.| See clamping instructions.
Inserts chipped.| Some chipping is normal, particularly on the inside insert.| Rotate or replace if poor hole finish is noted.
Incorrect template.| Use correct template and verify fit.
Using insufficient amount of coolant.| Rotate or replace insert. Increase flow of coolant. Make sure pressure tank is fully pumped up. Check for plugged water port in drill bit. Check for a clogged inlet filter. Remove pipe plug in end cap and flush with water. Remove end cap and clean filter.
Not clamped properly.| See clamping instructions.
Template knob(s) loose| Tighten knob(s) securely.
Handling damage.| Make sure drill bit is retracted when installing the drill on the rail. Avoid insert contact with hard objects.
Insert screw difficult to remove.| Not assembled with lubricant.| Install screw with anti-seize lubricant on the threads.
