13. Use only properly sized tool steels for which the Rock Drill was designed. 14. Do not lean against the Rock Drill to prevent losing foothold. The tool steel could accidentally break or suddenly penetrate the material. 15. Never operate the Rock Drill under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
Your Reimann & Georger Corporation Hydraulic Rock Drill is designed for drilling blast holes and test drillings etc. in granite and concretes. A built in torque limiter ensures that the operator can always hold the Rock Drill, if the drill bit gets stuck.
It is important to identify your Rock Drill completely and accurately whenever ordering spare parts or requesting assistance in service. The Rock Drill has a product nameplate that states the model and serial numbers. The Rock Drill label should appear as the sample nameplate shown in Figure 2-1. Record the model and serial numbers for future reference.
Oil temperatures can affect both power supply and tool performance. For ambient operating temperatures between 0-32°F, RGC recommends a warm-up period relative to outside temperatures to insure proper performance levels. Oil becomes more viscous or thick as the ambient temperature lowers, which slows down the system. It is necessary to pre-heat the hydraulic oil in the power supply before use by proceeding as follows: 1.
Hold Rock Drill close to your body when lifting. 5. Place the Rock Drill vertically on the surface in which the hole is to be made and activate the trigger lever. Make sure just enough feed force is being applied to have the Rock Drill run regularly. Activating the trigger partially when starting provides a slow start for improved control.
4. Secure the Rock Drill and hydraulic power source to prevent unauthorized use. 5. Store the Rock Drill away from excessive heat or moisture. Store in a clean, dry area away from exposure to high humidity, liquids, or freezing temperatures.
1. Proper maintenance of the Rock Drill and related equipment requires timely adhering to all the guidelines given in this chapter. Proper maintenance is required to maintain the system in good condition and free of defects.
20º in the drill bushing, or if the drill collar is cracked, the drill bushing must be replaced. A worn drill bushing causes increased breaker noise and, in the long run, damage to the striking piston of the Rock Drill.
