• The machine is intended for use in industrial applications by experienced operators. Use in any other way is considered as contrary to the intended use.
Always use common sense
It is not possible to cover every conceivable situation you can face when using a drilling machine. Always exercise care and use your common sense. Avoid all situations which you consider to be beyond your capability. If you still feel uncertain about operating procedures after reading these instructions, you should consult an expert before continuing. Do not hesitate to contact your dealer or us if you have any more questions about the use of the drilling machine. We will willingly be of service and provide you with advice as well as
help you to use your drilling machine both efficiently and safely.
Let your Husqvarna dealer check the drilling machine regularly and make essential adjustments and repairs.
Husqvarna Construction Products has a policy of continuous product development. Husqvarna reserves the right to modify the design and appearance of products without prior notice and without further obligation introduce design modifications.
All information and all data in the Operator’s Manual were applicable at the time the Operator’s Manual was sent to print.
WARNING! Under no circumstances should you modify the original design of the
machine without approval from the manufacturer. Always use original spare
parts. Unauthorized modifications and/or accessories may lead to serious injury or death to the user or others.
!
WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
Lead from lead-based paints.
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust makes that are specially designed to filter out microscopic material.
Personal protective equipment
WARNING! You must use approved personal protective equipment whenever you use the machine. Personal protective equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen. Ask your dealer for help in choosing the right equipment.
• Protective helmet
• Hearing protection
• Protective goggles or a visor
• Breathing mask
• Heavy-duty, firm grip gloves.
• Tight-fitting, heavy-duty and comfortable clothing that permits full freedom of movement.
• Boots with steel toe-caps and non-slip sole
• Always have a first aid kit nearby
General safety precautions
This section describes basic safety directions for using the machine. This information is never a substitute for professional skills and experience.
• Please read the operator’s manual carefully and make sure you understand the instructions before using the machine.
• Keep in mind that it is you, the operator that is responsible for not exposing people or their property to accidents or hazards.
• The machine must be kept clean. Signs and stickers must be fully legible.
Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• People and animals can distract you causing you to lose control of the machine. For this reason, always remain concentrated and focused on the task.
• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in bad weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
• Never start to work with the machine before the working area is clear and you have a firm foothold. Look out for any obstacles with unexpected movement. Ensure that no material can become loose and fall, causing injury when
operating the machine.
• Always check the rear side of the surface where the drill bit will emerge when drilling right through. Secure and cordon off the area and make sure that no one can be injured or material damaged.
Use and care
• Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions under the heading ”Personal protective equipment”.
• Never use the machine if you are tired, if you have drunk alcohol, or if you are taking medication that could affect your vision, your judgement or your co-ordination.
• Check that no tools or other objects have been left lying on the machine.
• Never allow anyone else to use the machine without first ensuring that they have understood the contents of the operator’s manual.
• Be careful as clothing, long hair, and jewelry can get caught in moving parts.
• Remain at a distance from the drill bit when the motor is running.
• Make sure that no pipes or electrical cables are routed in the area to be drilled.
• Never leave the machine unsupervised with the motor running.
• Never work alone, always ensure there is another person close at hand. Apart from being able to receive help to assemble the machine, you can also get help if an accident should occur.
• Never use a machine that is faulty. Carry out the checks, maintenance and service instructions described in this manual. Some maintenance and service measures must be carried out by trained and qualified specialists. See
instructions under the heading Maintenance.
• Never use a machine that has been modified in any way from its original specification.
• Do not overload the machine. Overloading can damage the machine.
• Keep tools sharp and clean in order to enable safer work.
• Keep all parts in good working order and ensure that all fixtures are properly tightened.
• Keep the hydraulic hoses and couplings free from dirt. Do not use hoses that are distorted, worn or damaged.
• Check that all couplings, connections and hydraulic hoses are in full working order. Check that the hoses are connected correctly to the machine and that the hydraulic couplings lock as intended before pressurizing the hydraulic system. The couplings are locked by turning the outer sleeve on the female coupling so that the slot moves away from the ball.
• Check the machine, couplings and hydraulic hoses daily for leakage. A rupture or leak can cause a ”hydraulic fluid injection” in the body or result in other serious physical injury. Do not check for leakage with your hands. Contact
with the leak can result in serious personal injury caused by the high pressure in the hydraulic system.
• Make sure the rotation control is set to OFF (0) before connecting the hydraulic hoses.
• Never disconnect the hydraulic hoses without first shutting off and disconnecting the hydraulic unit and ensuring the motors have stopped completely.
• Inspection and/or maintenance should be carried out with the hydraulic hoses disconnected.
• Do not exceed the specified hydraulic fluid flow or pressure for the tool being used. Excessive pressure or flow can result in rupturing.
• Observe care when lifting. You are handling heavy parts, which implies the risk of pinch injuries or other injuries.
Transport and storage
• Secure the equipment during transportation in order to avoid transport damage and accidents.
• Do not store or transport the drilling machine with the drill bit fitted in order to protect your drilling machine and drill bits from damage.
• Store the drilling machine in a lockable area so that it is out of reach of children and unauthorized persons.
• Store the drilling machine and stand in dry and frost free conditions.
Work safety
• The machine has a very high torque. This demands good concentration during work, as serious personal injuries can occur if the drill bit suddenly jams.
• Keep your hands at a safe distance from the drill spindle and drill bit when the machine is running.
• Keep an eye open for oil or water leakage. If water or oil trickles out from the leakage hole on the top of the pinion neck, the seals must be replaced.
Stand drilling
• The machine is intended for stand mounted drilling.
• Make sure that the stand is secured correctly.
• Make sure that the drilling machine is secured correctly in the stand.
• Take extra care during the start of the drilling when the drill bit is placed against the work piece. The drill bit does not have any guidance. This increases the risk for it starting to drift. This puts load onto the stand, with the risk of its fixing breaking loose.
• Be careful if the drill bit gets caught in the work piece. This puts load onto the stand, with the risk of its fixing breaking loose. This will cause the stand to start rotating around the drill bit.
• Make sure that the cooling water does not come into contact with an electrical cabinet or similar. |
