GENERAL SAFETY RULES General safety rules: For multiple hazards, read and understand the safety instructions before installing, operating, repairing, maintaining, changing accessories on, or working near the drill. Failure to do so can result in serious bodily injury. Only qualified and trained operators should install, adjust or use the drill. Do not modify this drill.

Entanglement hazards: Choking, scalping and/or lacerations can occur if loose clothing, personal jewellery, neckware, hair or gloves are not kept away from the tool and accessories. Operating hazards: Use of the tool can expose the operator’s hands to hazards, including cuts, abrasions and heat.
Page 5
Repetitive motions hazards: When using a drill to perform work-related activities, the operator can experience discomfort in the hands, arms, shoulders, neck or other parts of the body. While using a drill, the operator should adopt a comfortable posture while maintaining a secure footing and avoiding awkward or off-balanced postures.
Page 6
Dust and fume hazards: Dust and fumes generated when using drills can cause ill health (for example, cancer, birth defects, asthma and/or dermatitis); risk assessment and implementation of appropriate controls for these hazards are essential. Risk assessment should include the dust created by the use of the tool and the potential for disturbing existing dust.

If the drill has a silencer, always ensure that it is in place and in good working order when the drill is operating. Vibration hazards: Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the nerves and blood supply of the hands and arms. Wear warm clothing when working in cold conditions and keep your hands warm and dry.

(02). The use of the lubrocoolant supplied by CEMBRE, in the recommended concentrations, guarantees optimum use of the drilling tools. Consumption of the lubrocoolant depends both on the variable degree of opening of the tap (02) and the inner pressure of the tank: it is therefore advisable to open the tap a little when the tank is at maximum pressure, while it must be fully opened when the pressure in the tank is low.

The drill is equipped with a coolant attachment valve (35) and a vent valve (17) which are located as shown (Fig. 3). If under certain operating circumstances they need to be interchanged, proceed as follows: – Using a 17 mm hexagonal spanner unscrew the vent valve from its seat. –...

5. SPINDLE ADVANCE LEVER The spindle is advanced by moving the lever (36) (See Fig. 6 a). The lever is fitted with a release pawl (39) which, when pressed, renders it independent of the hub and hence the spindle; the operator can therefore easily vary the angular position of the lever without movement of the spindle (Fig.6).
Page 18
Be careful of the broach cutter’s sharp edges. Always wear work gloves to avoid injury. The drill spindle is factory-set to operate with CEMBRE CY range broach cutters fitted with Quick push/turn coupling; use of broach cutters and twist drill bits fitted with Weldon shank only requires disassembly of the transverse pin in the spindle (Ref.
Page 19
6.2) Assembling broach cutters with Weldon shank Using the spindle lever, advance the spindle to make the transverse threaded pin accessible; tooltip if it is not in a easily-accessible position, rotate the spindle shaft manually and sufficiently by inserting the 4mm T-handle Allen key in the appropiate intermediate gear housing (33) in the crank case of the drill (Ref.
Page 20
6.3) Assembling special spiral bits Using the spindle lever, position the spindle shaft so that both grub screws (18) become accessible. Insert the spiral bit in the corresponding APED adapter (1) and lock it with the grub screw (19) using the 4 mm T-handle Allen key (2) (Ref.
Page 21
6.4) Assembling terminations on DBG-F2 clamping device TDB 1, TDB 6 and TDB 3 terminations of the DBG-F2 device, with moving arm, have been designed for adaptation to the different operating conditions on rails and track fittings; their assembly/disassembly is shown in the Figures. Normally they are mounted in the central holes of the clamping device.
Page 22
6.6) Assembling positioning templates Only CEMBRE positioning templates and jigs are to be used with the rail drill. Choose the correct positioning template for the rail profile to be drilled. Place the positioning template on to the front plate of the drill, aligning the two reference pins with the holes in the template.
Page 23
6.7) Fitting “double sided” templates Compared to the templates for positioning rail drills, the KPAF "double sided templates" are equipped with a double profile that enables positioning of the drill on two different types of rail by simply inverting them. They are fixed on the sides of the front plate.
Page 24
6.8) Clamping to the rail web (Ref. to Fig. 8) The drill has a rapid rail engagement/release mechanism and specially shaped positioning templates for each rail type which facilitate precise and certain location of the part to be drilled. To fully exploit the special features of the engagement device, we recommend calibrating it to the rail type to be drilled as follows: –...

7. FUEL PREPARATION WARNING - Petrol is extremely flammable and explosive. - DO NOT SMOKE. - Refuel in a well ventilated area away from flame or sparks. - Stop engine and allow it to cool before refueling. When handling petrol: - Risk of intoxication, avoid inhalation of petrol vapours.
Page 26
8. STARTING THE ENGINE Before starting the engine, ensure that: - the engine oil level is correct. - the spindle shaft is fully retracted. - the accelerator control lever is positioned at the low speed position “0”. 8.1) Set the engine “ON/OFF” switch to the “ON” position (Fig.
Page 27
9. DRILLING Check engine oil level before operation (see § 13.2.1). Switch on the cooling system before starting the drill (see § 4). 9.1) Drill fitted with “short” type broach cutter (for drilling thicknesses of up to 25 mm). The drilling sequence may be started with the drill fitted with the broach cutter, clamping end piece, positioning template, the drill being clamped to the rail, as follows: 9.1.1) Connect the female quick-coupling of the SR5000 coolant unit to the male coupling (35) on the drill.
Page 28
9.1.4) Start the engine, following instructions § 8. 9.1.5) Proceed to drill by initially applying light pressure on the lever (36), increasing the pressure progressively, avoiding jolts, and finally relieving the pressure in the exit phase. When drilling close to raised markings on the rail the initial pressure must be extremely light until the markings disappear, otherwise the cutter may be damaged.

11.4) Place the drill and the SR5000 cooling unit in a sealed place free from dust, moisture and the risk of accidental impact. For better protection CEMBRE recommends the use of the VAL-P24 plastic case or VAL-P24-CS (variant with folding handle and wheels, see Fig. 24a) designed for this purpose. The DBG-F2 moving arm device allows the drill to be housed and locked in the case.
Page 34
12. WARNINGS 12.1) Regularly check for correct tightening (torque) of the fixing screws of the drilling tools and positioning templates. 12.2) Avoid pressure jolts on the advancing lever during drilling. 12.3) Always make sure that the drilling swarf is properly removed before starting to drill a new hole.
Page 35
13. MAINTENANCE Before you service or remove parts, stop the engine and allow it to cool. Always remove the spark plug cap from spark plug when servicing the engine to prevent accidental starting. After the first 10 operating hours, proceed with sump oil change, as follows: (Ref.
Page 36
13.1.2) Removal of metal residues from the crankcase (Rif. a Fig. 18) When the drill is positioned unscrew the cap with magnetic insert (28) on which any metal residues present in the oil will have collected. Carefully clean the magnetic insert with a clean cloth and screw it back into the appropriate housing.
Page 37
13.2) ORDINARY MAINTENANCE OF THE COMBUSTION ENGINE Periodic inspections are essential for the proper functioning of the engine; refer to “HONDA” manual provided with the machine for the safe use of the engine and for further requested maintenance operations. 13.2.1) Check engine oil (each use) Before checking or refilling engine oil, be sure the machine is located on a stable, level surface and stopped.

Every 3 months or 25 hours of operation 13.2.3) Air filter cleaning – Loosen the screw (1) and remove the air cleaner cover (2). – Inspect the air filter element (3). – Clean or replace dirty air filter element. Always replace damaged air filter element.
Page 39
Every year or 100 hours of operation 13.2.5) Spark plug cleaning – Using a 4 mm allen key remove the fixing screw on the top of the red cover. – Disconnect the spark plug wire lead and remove the spark plug with the key supplied. Inspect the spark plug.
