Electrical Safety
The DBM 131 core drilling machine is a safety class II tool.
In order to protect the operator, the machine shall only be operated using a residual current
device (RCD) during wet cutting. Operating the machine without a working PRCD safety switch
poses danger to life and health.
Therefore, the machine is always supplied with an integrated PRCD safety switch to be used with a
grounded socket.
No changes shall be made to the machine. In order to ensure safe operation of the machine, damages
on the PRCD safety switch shall be immediately removed by a qualified service centre.
Auxiliary handle
Do only use the machine for hand held drilling together with the auxiliary handle that is supplied with it. It
is attached to the collar and fixed by turning the handle.
Gear Shifting
Depending on the drill bit diameter, you can choose between two possible speeds.
For drilling diameters up to 70 mm, we recommend the 2
at the motor) and for drillings over 70 mm, the 1
points at the spindle). These values are reference values only. When setting the speed, the instructions
of the tool manufacturer should be observed.
When it is not possible to move the gear switch into its end position when the machine is stopped,
slightly turn the drilling spindle.
Caution! Do only change gears when the machine is stopped and shift clockwise!
Switching the machine on/off
The drilling machine is equipped with an electronic positioning switch including a locking device.
The more the switch is pressed, the higher the speed. This allows for precise drilling when starting a
hole.
Under normal working conditions, always work at maximum speed.
Caution! Do not lock the switch during hand held drilling!
