Set-Up Instructions for
Securing Machine
Caution: It is very important that the Drilling
Machine is properly secured to the work
surface. Movement during drilling will
cause chatter of Bit against the work sur-
face, fracturing diamonds. Bit may also
bind in hole, causing damage to the Bit.
The methods for anchoring are as follows:
follows:
Bolt Anchor Method-to-Floor
1. Measure distance from center of Anchor Bolt slot
in Base (Fig. 2) to center of Drill Spindle (Fig. 4).
2. Mark and measure from center of hole on floor to
be drilled, to spot where Anchor Bolt hole will be
drilled.
3. Drill and set 1/2 inch Anchor Bolt. Place Drilling
Machine over anchor hole and hand tighten bolt.
4. When anchoring to brick or block walls, you MUST
drill thru the brick or block and use all thread to
secure the machine to the wall.
5. Adjust 4 Leveling Screws (Fig. 4) to stabilize Base
and plumb Mast. Secure Machine by tightening
Anchor Bolt.
Bolt Anchor Method-to-Wall
Use the same Bolt Anchor Method procedure to anchor
as above.
Warning: You must use additional precautionary
procedures to assure safety of operator.
This involves fastening a chain to
Machine and securing chain to avoid fall-
ing. DO NOT use the Vacuum to secure
the machine to the wall or ceiling , as
serious injury could result.
