To prevent serious injury, inspect your Core Drilling Machine. The following inspection procedures should be performed on a daily basis:
1.Make sure Core Drilling Machine is unplugged and the drill mast switch is set to the OFF position (Figure 1).
2.Inspect the vacuum seal for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
3.Inspect the power cord and plug for damage. If the plug has been modified, is missing the grounding prong or if the cord is damaged, do not use the Threading Machine until the cord has been replaced.
4.Inspect the Core Drilling Machine for any broken, missing, misaligned or binding parts as well as any other conditions which may affect the safe and normal operation of the machine. If any of these conditions are present, do not use the machine until any problem has been repaired.
5.Lubricate the Core Drilling Machine if necessary ac- cording to the Maintenance Instructions.
6.Use drill bits and accessories that are designed for your Core Drilling Machine and meet the needs of your application. The correct tools and accessories allow you to do the job successfully and safely. Accessories designed for use with other equipment may be haz- ardous when used with this Core Drilling Machine.
7.Clean any oil, grease or dirt from all handles and controls. This reduces the risk of injury due to a tool or control slipping from your grip.
Inspect the cutting edges of your drill bits. If neces- sary, have them replaced prior to using the Core Drilling Machine. Bit is considered worn when the crown shows excessive wear and has become flush with tube. Dull or damaged cutting tools can lead to binding and tool breakage.

1.Check that the work area has the following:
•Adequate lighting.
•No Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ig- nite.
•Grounded electrical outlet.
•Clear path to the electrical outlet that does not contain any sources of heat or oil, sharp edges or moving parts that may damage electrical cord.
2.Clean up the work area prior to setting up any equipment. Move tools and debris to prevent slips and falls.
3.Make sure drill motor ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.
4.When plugging the Core Drilling Machine into the electrical outlet make sure to position the power cord along the clear path selected earlier. Use an exten- sion cord in good condition.
WARNING To avoid electrical shock and electrical fires, never use an extension cord that is damaged or does not meet the following requirements:
•The cord has a
•The cord is rated as “W” or
•The cord has sufficient wire thickness (12 AWG below 50′). If the wire thickness is too small, the cord may overheat, melting the cord’s insulation or causing nearby objects to ignite.
WARNING To reduce risk of electrical shock, keep all electrical connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with wet hands.
