Safety Precautions - HYCON HCD25-100 Mode D'emploi

Safety Precautions

• Read the core drill and power source operating manuals prior to use.
• Only use the core drill in accordance with the local working regulations on al-
lowed working time
• Check the oil supply to the core drill. The oil supply may not exceed 20
l.p.m./max. 170 bar. Please refer to page 4.
• Make sure that the core bit is firmly fastened
• For handheld drilling, always use core bits approved for this purpose
• The HYCON core drill is supplied with a trigger lock. This may only be used when
drilling in a rig.
• The core drill has an automatic integrated security that makes the core drill stop
if the core bit jams. However, in case of jamming, always loosen the core bit from
the material, before you start drilling again. The integrated security is set from
the factory and may not be disturbed.
• Start the core drill just before you start drilling, and stop it once the drilling is
done. Do not let the core drill run freely in the air.
• In case of horizontal drilling or drilling above the head, always be aware of
material falling down.
• A fine jet of oil at pressure can penetrate the skin. It is therefore important never
to use your fingers to check for oil leaks and never to hold your face close to su-
spected leaks – use a piece of cardboard instead. If oil has penetrated the skin,
you should get medical treatment immediately.
• Never leave the core drill when connected to the powerpack.
• Always use approved hoses. Contact your dealer, if necessary. Mount the hoses
correctly so that the core drill rotates in the right direction (clockwise).
• The operator must pay extra attention and show caution when working in difficult
working areas, such as slopes and other dangerous nature of the ground. Do not
reach too far with the core drill, but always maintain a good footing and keep
your balance.
• The operator must be properly trained in using the core drill or under supervision
of a qualified instructor.
