GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified

b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
3) Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1) Mounting the core bit
CAUTION: Ensure that the threads of the spindle and the core bit match. Attempting to mount mismatched threads will result in damage to both threads.
The spindle has two types of threads. The outside male thread is 1-1/4inch UNC, the inside female thread is 1/2 inch BSP. Ensure both the core bit and the machine spindle are clean. Any debris could cause excessive run-out of the mounted core bit. Excessive run-out can cause premature failure of the core bit and/or a safety hazard. Tighten the bit to the spindle using two wrenches. Only use correct sized wrenches to avoid damage to the spindle or bit. Torque to at least 200 newton meters.
Choosing the correct core bit for the job:
Ensure that the bit you are using is suitable for the material you are drilling. There are two main types of diamond core bit:
Wet/dry type-electroplated (surface set) diamond core bits and wet type-sintered
(impregnated) diamond core bits.
We recommend always using wet-type (sintered) bits with this machine.
Electroplated bits, also known as wet/dry type, are only suitable for less hard materials. The diamonds are sharp and coarse and are only set on the surface. They have a much shorter service life than sintered bits and cannot be dressed (resharpened). Once they become dull, they must be replaced. They tend to work well with softer, abrasive materials like brick.
Sintered bits, also known as wet type, are much longer lasting but require operator knowledge for best results.
Water is absolutely always required with sintered bits. The bit is impregnated with many layers of diamond in its metal matrix. As the matrix (bond) wears, new diamonds are exposed. If the bit becomes glazed, it can be resharpened by dressing with an appropriate alumina oxide or silicon carbide dressing stick. There are many variables with sintered diamond core bits, such as diamond grade and type, diamond grit size, bond type, bond hardness, and bit wall thickness.
Consult with Diaquip’s expert team for the best bit for your application. Work materials vary widely in hardness.
/10 WWW.DIAQUIP.CO.UK
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2) Water Supply
Water is a basic requirement for diamond core drilling.
The water serves as a coolant to avoid the working surface at the tip of the bit from overheating. When the diamond bit becomes overheated, both the bond matrix and even the diamonds break down. The most frequent cause of diamond core bit damage is caused by drilling without enough coolant water.
Closed
Open
Water Feed Valve
Water should always be used to cool and lubricate the bit and to flush out abrasive particles formed while drilling. Never use this machine without water feed.
To connect the water supply. Attach the quick-release water coupling to a water hose.
WARNING: Never allow water to enter the motor. It could lead to an electric shock.
WARNING: Check all connections of the water feed system to ensure there are no leaks. Inspect hoses and other critical parts which could deteriorate.
WARNING: The maximum water pressure should not exceed 70 psi (4bar).
Indicator Hole
CAUTION: There is a small indicator hole on the water feed collar. If this hole leaks water, it indicates that the water seals are worn out. Replace them immediately.
CAUTION: Never use this machine without water feed. Running dry will overheat and destroy its water seals.
Use a water collector with a wet vacuum to collect cooling water if nearby objects could be damaged by water.
WARNING: Never allow water to enter the motor. A perfectly functioning water collector set up must be used for any drilling performed at an upward angle.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3) Selecting Speeds
There are various ranges to suit the bit size and work piece hardness. Choose the slowest speed for large diameter bits and hard materials. If when cutting the bit stalls repeatedly, then you must change to a lower gear. If you are already in the lowest gear and the bit stalls repeatedly, then you are using the machine over its maximum capacity.
Gear Selector
CAUTION: Never attempt to change gears on a running machine! Only adjust when the machine is at rest.
For 3 speed models, Select the desired gear range by turning the gear selector either clockwise or counterclockwise into the desired gear. It will usually be necessary to turn the spindle by hand a little to get it to shift all the way.
3 SPEED MODELS RECOMMENDED BIT Ø
Speed 1: n0 450/min, n 280min 200-350mm
Speed 2: n0 810/min, n 485/min 125-200mm
Speed 3: n0 1300/min, n 780/min 20-125mm
(Recommended bit size based on average hardness concrete. Speeds will vary with different material hardnesses. For reinforced concrete, speeds will be signifigantly slower.)
4) MOUNTING TO A DRILLING STAND (NOT INCLUDED).
Warning: Do not attempt to mount to a rig that does not have a perfectly fitting mounting system.
The motor has a standard four bolt pattern for attaching a mounting spacer. Use a mounting spacer suitable for the stand you are using to mount your drill motor to your stand. Tighten the four bolts evenly to 12Nm. To mount to the stand, loosen the cradle lock bolt and place the mounting spacer squarely in the cradle. Then tighten the cradle lock bolt firmly to 17Nm.
The rig may be anchored to the work piece in one of three ways, with a mechanical anchor, with a vacuum base, or with a jack screw. (Follow the instructions provided with the rig.)
/12 WWW.DIAQUIP.CO.UK
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To Install the Drill Stand
1. Measure the distance from the center of the intended cut to the location of the mounting slot
in the base. Follow the concrete anchor manufacturer’s instructions to install. Using an
appropriate tool such as a rotary hammer, drill a correct sized hole to fit the anchor. Then
drive in the anchor to below flush.
2. Move the base into position and screw in the anchor bolt, washer and nut, leaving it finger
tight for the moment.
3. Using the bubble level, adjust the four leveling bolts to achieve a good level positioning, then
fully tighten the center anchor bolt. The entire rig must be mounted solidly.
WARNING: Never attempt to drill unless the stand is fixed securely beyond any doubt.
5) The Switch
230V models:
This machine has a rocker switch. Press the switch to the on position to turn on. Press the switch to the off position to turn off. If there is an interruption to the power supply, the machine will restart when the power returns.
WARNING: Accidental starting hazard. Always ensure that the switch is in the OFF position before plugging in.
On/Off Switch
WARNING: Whenever there is an interruption to the power supply, turn the switch to the
OFF position to avoid an accidental restart when power returns.
110V models:
This machine has a relay-type rocker switch. Press the switch to the on position to turn on. Press the switch to the off position to turn off. Since this is a relay type switch, if there is an interruption to the power supply, the machine will not restart when the power returns. In this case first turn the switch to the off position then back to the on position to restart.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6) Overload Protection and Overheat Protection
Overload Warning System:
When the load reaches overload conditions, the warning system will kick in, lowering the voltage and causing the motor to stop. Simply back off on the feed handle to ease the load and the motor will automatically restart. Then the operator can continue to drill normally.
Overload:
If the excessive load is sustained too long, the motor will shut down completely. In this case, the motor must be restarted. When this happens, the motor will very likely be near overheating, so it is also a good idea to run the motor at no load for a few minutes to cool it before continuing.
Overheat Thermal Protection:
If the temperature of the motor gets too high, the thermal protection will shut the motor down.
When this happens, do not immediately start drilling after restarting the motor. Always run the machine at no load for a few minutes to return to a normal operating temperature before continuing.
CAUTION: The motor will be damaged if it is repeatedly overloaded or overheated.
Always cool the motor by running at no load for a few minutes whenever it stops from either overheat or oveload.
7) Safety Clutch
This machine is equipped with a mechanical clutch to protect the operator and machine from excessive torque forces. When the preset maximum torque level is reached, the clutch will slip.
Normally, the electronic overload will operate first. But if the load is very sudden or extreme, such as when the bit gets stuck, the clutch will operate first.
After the clutch slips many times, it will become worn and slip at lower and lower torque levels.
When this happens, it must be serviced by an authorized service provider.
CAUTION: Always ease off the load immediately whenever the clutch slips. Do not allow the clutch to continue slipping or it will wear out prematurely.
WARNING: When coring through a floor, the core will fall down. Take precautions to avoid injury or damage below.
NOTE: When drilling with a new bit for the first time, use less than normal feed pressure for a time until it breaks-in.
/14 WWW.DIAQUIP.CO.UK
DRILLING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Press the “Reset” button on the PRCD interrupter device to energize the circuit to the
machine. Then turn the machine on.
2. Open the water valve slightly and very gently begin the cut. use very light feed pressure to
prevent the bit from wandering until the bit is fully penetrated into the cut.
3. Make adjustments to the water feed as needed. The water leaving the cut should be a solid
colored slurry with about the consistency of milk. If the exiting water is clear, then you may
reduce the water flow. If the exiting water is thick and muddy, then increase the water. It’s
very important that the water has enough pressure to flush cutting debris out of the cut.
4. Once in the cut, use steady feed pressure for about 30 seconds, then back off feed pressure
for a few seconds to allow cutting debris to escape the kerf (cutting area) and for the cutting
surface of the bit to cool. This has the added benefit of allowing the motor to remain within a
good working temperature. Repeat this cycle until finished.
5. When the cut is almost finished and the bit is about to break through, the bit will be very
liable to get stuck. Take extra care gripping the machine tightly and reduce feed pressure at
this point.
WARNING: Always keep your face away from the machine.
WARNING: If the rig breaks loose of its mountings, it will move to the left. (The entire assembly will rotate counterclockwise.) Avoid standing to the left of the rig and avoid operating from the left side if possible and be ready to jump out of the way in time.
Arrange the power supply cable with minimal slack and oriented in such a way that if the machine gets out of control and spins, it will immediately unplug its own cable.
ABOUT DIAMOND BITS
The diamond impregnated segments in a wet type (sintered) diamond core bit operate on a principle of controlled erosion. The bond matrix holding the diamonds is continually worn away by abrasion with the work piece, exposing the harder diamonds to stand proud from the bond matrix. A bit with good diamond exposure is a sharp bit. This erosion process causes heat and particles, which require water to cool and rinse free.
Without adequate water, the bit would overheat and be destroyed. With too much water and not enough feed pressure, there would not be adequate erosion of the bond matrix (the diamonds not exposed) and the bit becomes dull (diamond segments polish smooth). This is called glazing and luckily the bit can be de-glazed (sharpened). If the bit seems to refuse to cut anymore, you know that it is glazed.
See page xx: “SHARPENING A GLAZED BIT”

ABOUT DIAMOND BITS
Without adequate water, the bit would overheat and be destroyed. With too much water and not enough feed pressure, there would not be adequate erosion of the bond matrix (the diamonds not exposed) and the bit becomes dull (diamond segments polish smooth). This is called glazing and luckily the bit can be de-glazed (sharpened). If the bit seems to refuse to cut anymore, you know that it is glazed.
See page xx: “SHARPENING A GLAZED BIT”
Never use a sharp motion or the bit will be damaged. Conversely, don’t feed too gently or the diamond segments will become glazed. Keep the bit steadily working, but don’t be abusive or give the bit shock impacts into the work surface.
If the cut is very deep, the core plug may be obstructing the flow of cooling water. In this case, stop drilling, and chisel out the core plug before continuing.
CAUTION: If the bit gets stuck, do not try to rock it loose by turning the switch on and off. That is hazardous and could damage the motor. Rather, unplug the machine and use a wrench on the bit mounting to work it loose.
If embedded steel such as rebar is encountered take special care. When the steel is encountered, the water will generally go clear and vibration will begin. Change to a lower gear if available. Reduce the feed pressure by about 1/3 and let the bit go at its own pace, if there is too much vibration the bit will be destroyed. Once the steel is passed, continue normally. A properly sharp bit with good diamond exposure should be able the cut through rebar if handled well. When the cut is finished keep the motor running until the bit is removed from the cut to avoid it getting stuck.
CAUTION: Drilling operations are very stressful to the motor and at the end of the cut, the motor temperature will be very hot, always run the motor at no load for a few minutes until the temperature returns to a normal range before shutting off. Turn the water feed down to a very small amount of flow (not off), just enough to keep the water seals from overheating when you perform this step.
Then turn off the switch and allow the coasting bit to stop before setting it down.
/16 WWW.DIAQUIP.CO.UK
RESHARPENING A GLAZED BIT
If the bit becomes glazed, the ideal way to resharpen and true it up is by dressing with an appropriate alumina oxide or silicon carbide dressing stone. Simply drill into the stick as many times as necessary to restore its cutting performance.
If it is only slightly dull, while cutting, you may first reduce the water flow by about half until the water exiting the kerf is really muddy.
Another method is to stop and add about 6mm (1/4”) of coarse silica sand in the kerf and and drill for a few minutes, then turn up the water to rinse the sand free. Repeat as needed.
Another method is to drill into a cinder block. Repeat as needed.
If that still does not work the only choice is to use a dressing stone.
VIBRATION TROUBLESHOOTING
If vibration occurs and it is not caused by embedded steel, stop drilling to find the cause and remedy.
CAUTION: Do not operate with vibration or there will be serious hazard and the diamond core bit will surely be destroyed.
Vibration is usually caused by:
1.
A bit with too much runout
SOLUTION: Replace bit.
2.
A bit with diamond segments broken off
SOLUTION: Repair or Replace bit.
3.
Shifted base or loose gibs
SOLUTION: Retighten mountings or adjust gibs as needed.
WWW.DIAQUIP.CO.UK
/17
KEEP TOOL CLEAN
Wipe down the machine at the end of each work day with a damp cloth.
NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Periodically blow low-pressure compressed air through the ventilation slots with the motor running to keep the motor clean so that motor can be cooled normally.
Wear safety glasses while using compressed air.
MAINTENANCE
Every 50 hours of operation blow compressed air through the motor while running at no load to clean out accumulated dust. (If operating in especially dusty conditions, perform this operation more often.)
To keep your diamond coring machine in top condition, periodic maintenance must be performed. In addition always check for a damaged power supply cable, check for loose fasteners and always keep alert for unusual noises and vibration when operating.
WARNING: Never operate a damaged machine. Always tag a damaged machine and take it out of service until repairs can be made.
CAUTION: This machine is equipped with an oil bath gearbox. To avoid leakage of lubricating oil, whenever the gearbox is opened, the o-ring seal must be replaced with a new one.
CAUTION: This machine is equipped with an oil bath gearbox. If the gear oil is found to be leaking out, have the machine repaired by a qualified service center immediately.
Running without sufficient oil will lead to certain damage of the gearbox.
Maintenance which should be performed by an authorized service center, include the following:
Replace water seals as needed.
Replace the carbon brushes as needed
Change the gear oil about every 100 hours of operation
Replace the clutch discs and spring as needed.
Each year perform a full mechanical inspection, cleaning and re-lubrication.
/18 WWW.DIAQUIP.CO.UK
THE CARBON BRUSHES
The carbon brushes are a normal wearing part and must be replaced when they reach their wear limit. This machine is equipped with auto-stop carbon brushes. If the machine comes to a stop unexpectedly, the brushes should be checked. The auto-stop brush design protects the motor by stopping the machine before the carbon brushes are completely worn out.
Caution: Always replace the brushes as a pair.
To replace:
1. Remove the 4 screws and remove the motor tail cover.
2. Using pliers rotate the brush spring out of the way and slide the old carbon brush out of the
brush holder.
3. Unscrew the screw to remove the brush lead. The old carbon brush may now be lifted away.
4. Install a new brush. Installation is the reverse of removal.
5. Replace the motor tail cover. Take care not to pinch any wires when reassembling.
If the replacement of the power supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the manufacturer or their agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
WARNING: All repairs must be entrusted to an authorized service center. Incorrectly performed repairs could lead to injury or death.
Do not throw electric power tools into the household waste! In accordance with the European
Directive 2002/96/EG on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and transposition into national law, used electric power tools must be collected separately and recycled in an environmentally friendly manner.
