Use and care Only use diamond core bits that are in a sharp and undamaged condition. Properly maintained diamond core bits with sharp cutting segments do not get bent so quickly and are easier to guide. Use the power tool, accessories and drill bits etc. in accordance with these operating instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be done.
Preparation Before each start, subject the core drill to a brief visual inspection. Also check that the network voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the tool's type plate. The adapters supplied can be exchanged and, in the case of dry drilling, enable suction with a hoover or serve as a water supply.
Use an impact anchor together with a plate wing nut and a cord threaded rod (optional fastening set) to fasten the drill stand to the substrate. The plate wing nut should be placed in the centre of the drill stand. After fixing, adjust the 4 levelling screws on the drill stand to achieve a good levelling position.
Electrical connection To reduce the risk of electric shock and to protect the operator, the DKS-162/DC-H and DKS-162/DC-P core drill must only be operated via a Portable Residual Current Device, or PRCD personal circuit breaker. After connecting to the power supply, first press the "RESET"...
Replace them immediately. Speed selection The DKS-162/DC-H and the DKS-162/DC-P is equipped with a mechanical 2-speed oil bath gearbox. Select the speed according to the drill diameter (type plate).
Drilling Always switch on the machine without a load. After switching on, next open the water line valve. When water flows out of the centre of the drill, you can carefully start drilling. Should you operate the core drill without a drill stand, start the notch by not approaching the drill diameter with the full cutting face of the drill.
Soft strike function You can use the DKS-162/DC-H and DKS-162/ DC-P with soft impact function or in normal drilling mode. To make this selection, you must adjust the ring on the spindle. To select soft impact mode, first press the mode selection ring in the direction of the arrow on the spindle until the spring is compressed.
Mechanical overload protection This machine is equipped with a mechanical slip clutch to protect the operator and the machine from excessive torque forces. If the drill suddenly jams in the hole, the safety clutch disengages and the drill spindle stops. Make sure that the load on the clutch is not more than max.
If the overvoltage protection trips during operation of the core drill DKS-162/DC-H and DKS-162/DC-P, please check the power supply unit and replace it if necessary. Overheating - Thermal protection If the temperature of the drill motor becomes too high, the built-in thermal protection switch in the machine responds.
Daily maintenance of the power tool Caution! All repair and maintenance work must always be carried out with the mains plug disconnected. Check that all bolts and nuts are well tightened. Check that the water seals are intact. Check if the gearbox is tight or if oil is leaking out. Check that the PRCD circuit breaker is working properly.
Maintenance and inspection plan Regular inspection according to the maintenance and inspection schedule is urgently required. Shorten the intervals between maintenance if you use the product very frequently. Maintenance points In the In the first Every (regular inspection third month or year or required) Each time...
Troubleshooting If a defect occurs during operation of the core drill, contact a nearby service station or Kernlochbohrer GmbH immediately. Never disassemble the power tool yourself.
