INTRODUCTION
This coring machine has been specially designed for coring concrete, rock and other construction material samples in the
laboratory.
During operation the sample is clamped to the base through a cross beam, open in the middle and locked in position by two
bolts of the two vertical threaded rods.
The machine is powered by two speed electric motor.
The drill incorporates a special water swivel to be connected to the water supply.

USE
1

Place the machine on the floor and check with a bubble level that the basement is in horizontal position.

Select the rock to be cut and place it between the upright threaded rods inside the tank. Position the removable cross beam
on the rock sample in such a way that the threaded rods enter the two recesses of the beam. With the wing nuts of the tie
rods tighten firmly the cross beam.

Check the power supply (see the electrical data plate on the machine) and plug into a suitable socket. Attach the diamond
bit. Bits less 2 inch dia. (50 mm) are screwed onto the shaft via an adapter; bits 6 inch (170 mm) and larger are screwed
directly onto the shaft; bits 2 inch to 6 inch need an expander assembled. Hand tighten firmly using the 35 mm spanner
and the strap wrench.
Attention: Grease the screw thread of the core bit to avoid oxidation and so make easier removing the core bit.

Switch on motor briefly to check that bit is running true. If not, dismount and reassemble, then tighten with strap wrench.

Connect the water pipe to a supply with moderate pressure. Unclamp the support clamp. Lower the bit almost to the work
surface using operating lever.

Turn on the water (never attempt to cut without water running).

Select rotation speed with the 2 speed selector. Use generally fast speed. Start the motor and begin cutting. Use firm steady
pressure so that cutting is continuous. If chattering occurs, increase pressure on the lever, or back off and check that bit
is running true.

When required depth is reached, withdraw the bit, with motor still running, then switch off motor. Turn water off last. Remove
bit using strap wrench.

Snap off core, if necessary, and lift out using special grips. If a core has to be removed from the bit, push it out from behind;
do not attempt to dislodge it from the diamond end.

CLEAN UP AND LUBRICATION

Upon completion of each days drilling, wipe off the entire machine, removing water and cuttings that may have accumulated
on the unit. Pay particular attention in cleaning the column. Oil and grease moving parts of the machine is required. This will
ensure maximum life and efficient performance of the drilling machine.
