This diamond core drill, with water operation is not suitable for overhead drill work. To drill freehand, it is necessary to use the centring plate and a suitable water suction device (e.g. the special Maxima dust catcher). This diamond drilling machine has been designed to perform drilling and circular flaring in mineral materials, such as concrete, reinforced concrete, bricks, limestone or cut stones.
• Only diamond core drills that have been recommended by Maxima S.p.A. should be used. • The personnel involved in static surveys, the architect or the management responsible for the works must be informed and consulted on the planned drilling work.
For dry core drilling (Illustration 2) it is necessary to mount the suction tube, in order to be able to connect a suitable dust catcher. For water core drilling (Illustration 3), the suction tube is replaced with the Maxima water adapter. Danger! Risk of death caused by electric shock.
