Drill Safety
Inspect all core bits prior to usage and discard
damaged bits. Remove debris from bits and
clean as necessary.
Keep all body parts away from rotating core
bits.
Always use an appropriate size bit for the drilling
task. The bit must fit tightly on the spindle shaft.
Wear gloves and be alert to the surrounding
environment when handling core bits.
Always use the correct bit type for the material
being drilled.
Always start the engine with the function switch
at Start/Dri ve.
DO NOT exceed the core bit’s maximum
recommended speed when drilling.
DO NOT use damaged core bits when drilling to
avoid harming yourself, others, or the machine.
DO NOT activate the spindle shaft when
installing a core bit by hand to avoid
entanglement.
Failure to properly secure the core bit to the
spindle shaft may cause the bit to loosen or fall
off the machine.
Raise the core bit/pillow block assembly to a
sufficient height when maneuvering the
machine to provide proper clearance between
the bit/spindle shaft and the ground.
Remove all body parts from under the core bit
when releasing the bit from the spindle shaft.
DO NOT stand on the machine to act as an
anchor. Use the vacuum pump to anchor the
machine.
Always make sure the mast is firmly touching the
ground prior to drilling.
The work area should not contain buried or
embedded electrical, gas, or water lines.
Turn off all electricity, gas, and water lines
around the work area prior to drilling.
Use extreme caution when drilling through
floors. Another trained worker must clear the
surrounding area on the lower floor prior to
drilling in case the core falls to the lower floor.
DO NOT allow any person, animal, or object in
and around the work area when drilling.
Excessive drilling speeds at first
contact with the concrete surface
can cause bit breakage, resulting
in serious injuries and/or death.
Use extreme caution when operating the
machine on slopes, as it is more susceptible to
sideways tipping/rolling over, especially with a
full water tank.
When driving the machine forward or
backward, be alert to the surrounding
environment.
When parking the machine on a slope, lower
the rear legs and front mast or chock the tires to
prevent rolling.
Fuel Safety
Store all fuel in appropriate safety containers.
DO NOT operate the machine with a fuel leak.
DO NOT fuel the machine with the engine
running.
Let the engine cool prior to adding fuel.
Refer to the engine manual for recommended
fuels.
DO NOT smoke or expose fuel to
open flames when filling the fuel
tank or working with fuel.
Clean up spilled fuel prior to starting the engine.
Move the machine away from the fueling area
prior to starting the engine.
Drain the fuel tank and fuel lines for longer
storage periods. Refer to the engine manual for
additional information.
Engine Safety
Refer to the engine manual as the primary
source for engine safety.
Always know how to turn off the engine for
emergency purposes.
Fill the fuel tank and check the oil level prior to
starting the engine.
DO NOT leave the engine running unattended.
Keep all body parts away from
rotating machine parts with the
engine running.
DO NOT start the engine without the air filter(s)
installed.
DO NOT allow dust to enter the air intake tube
when cleaning/replacing air filter(s).
Immediately replace damaged machine
components that may allow dust to enter the
engine.
Always operate the machine in
well-ventilated areas.
Concentrated engine exhaust can
cause loss of consciousness and/or
death.
Wipe down the engine’s exterior and oil cooler
daily/regularly to prevent high operating
temperatures. DO NOT spray the engine with
water to prevent engine damage.
DO NOT touch the engine/muffler assembly with
the engine running, and always let the parts
cool down prior to touching them or servicing
the machine.
Handle hot oil carefully when changing the oil.
