Z1T/S CORE DRILL STAND
Ø DO allow machine to reach operating speed before starting a hole.
Ø DO unplug machine while changing or adjusting cutting bits so as not to accidentally turn machine on.
Ø DO remove adjusting wrenches prior to turning the machine on.
Ø DO guard against electric shock by only operating this tool on a properly functioning GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupt) circuit.
Ø DO be mindful that power tools can expose an operator to vibrations transmitted trough contact with the machine.
Prolonged exposure can lead to medical issues which should be discussed with a medical professional.
Ø DO tie in a drip loop in the power cord to prevent water from running into the power receptacle.
Ø DO use a dust extraction system for cutting materials that create dust. The operator should also wear a protective
respiratory device.
Ø DO NOT make adjustments to machine while the machine is running.
Ø DO NOT switch off the machine when it is under load, except in an emergency.
Ø DO NOT remove or modify grounding plug. Only to be used on a properly grounded GFCI circuit.
Ø DO NOT leave the machine running when not in use.
Ø DO NOT hold the work piece by hand or using body. Always mechanically clamp or secure work piece.
Ø DO NOT allow operator to make contact with grounded surfaces such as metal objects.
Ø DO NOT allow liquids to enter the machine’s ventilation system.
Ø DO NOT operate machine outside of machine specifications.
Ø DO NOT touch moving parts while the machine is running as death or dismemberment could occur.
Ø DO NOT operate machine overhead (Inverted) when drilling “wet” type cores.
Ø DO NOT remove machines electrical components while connected to a power source. Only to be removed for service
by qualified personal and put back on the machine after service is complete.
Ø DO NOT allow children or untrained personal to operate machine.
Ø DO NOT use this machine in the rain or a wet environment.
Ø DO NOT operate in the presence of explosive materials as power tools create sparks which may ignite dust or fumes.
Ø DO NOT drill into an area that may contain a live electrical wire/circuit.
Ø DO NOT use this machine without safely securing to the work piece being drilled.
Ø DO NOT use full water pressure when drilling with “wet” type bits! You only need minimal water to drill with these
machines. Extreme water pressure can cause water to enter the gearbox!
HEALTH WARNINGS IN CORE DRILLING
Ø Certain dust created by drilling contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
The examples of these chemicals are below:
o Lead from lead based paint.
o Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and assorted masonry products.
§ TO REDUCE RISK OF EXPOSURE TO THESE CHEMICALS, WORK IN A WELL-VENTILATED
AREA WITH VACUUM SYSTEMS, RESPIRATORS AND WITH ALL SUITABLE SAFETY
EQUIPMENT.
