Operations
Note
THOROUGHLY READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THIS
MACHINE!
PURPOSE
Ø The purpose of the 10”Z1 TEL Core Drill is to drill through masonry, concrete or other mineral rock types
using annular coring bits.
Ø These drills are designed to be wedged between parallel surfaces using their telescoping base. The
machine can then be turned in a variety of directions to enable angled drilling.
o NOTE: Make sure the base fits completely on the surface and the base is tightly fastened to avoid
stand movement during drilling.
Ø These machines can be used vertically, horizontally or overhead (inverted) provided an acceptable work
environment.
o CAUTION: If drilling overhead you are only permitted to use dry type core bits with a vacuum
system. “Wet” type holes overhead would allow water into the motor and create an extremely
dangerous situation.
OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLES
Ø The main drilling shaft rotates in a forward clockwise direction. The main drilling motor connects to the
tool spindle to make contact with a surface and slowly bore a hole. Using the feed handles on the side of
the drill, the user can raise or lower the drilling motor.
Ø These drills are ONLY to be used with diamond impregnated coring bits.
o When drilling with “wet” type bits, the bit end pulverizes the material and the water brings the
material out of the cut.
o When drilling with “dry” type bits, the bit end pulverizes the material and dust brings the material
out of the cut.
MACHINE COMPONENTS
Ø The main components of the 10”Z1 TEL are the spindle, gearbox, motor, carriage, drill stand and base. The
spindle is driven by the transfer case and the motor.
o These components must be not be removed except by a qualified technician. Power must be
disconnected prior to any service.

Ø This machine has one primary adjusting point for the travel between the drill carriage and the drill stand.
The main way to increase or decrease the user’s ability to move the drill by hand is with this system.
These are the black hex bolts on the side and back of the machine that have a locking nut around them.
These are generally used to tighten up the travel as the slides wear over time. Be mindful to evenly adjust
these so that the travel is even and smooth. The ideal travel generally keeps the drill in place when the
user is not using the drill (this is usually on the tighter side) although individual users needs may vary.
The side black carriage bolt can also be used for temporarily locking the carriage in place.
Ø The telescoping stand of this machine comes in four main parts. One is the inner pipe with a cap on the
top. The inner pipe is pictured below with the top cap attached:
Ø The outer pipe connects to the black rolling base with three bolts. The base is pictured below. The outer
pipe is connected to the base as pictured below:
Ø The drill stand has a four-point connection system that connects to the outer stand. This system is the
primary system used when setting the drill in the spot and angle needed. CAUTION: Make certain to
tighten all set screws and handles on all of these locking components prior to drilling. This is connection
system is pictured below:

10”Z1 TEL CORE DRILL

Ø If using the inner stand as your mounting surface, you must use the adapter collars that fit inside the main
adjusting collars on that four-point connections system. The slots in each are designed to fit the Allen
head screws on the four-point connection system. Those adapters are pictured below:
Ø The locking pin is used in the inner pipe hole and outer pipe slot to tighten the drill between structures.
Insert the locking pin with the D-ring on one side and the cotter pin on the other side. Use the straight
metal pin to turn the tightening nut on the outer pipe.

10”Z1 TEL CORE DRILL

Ø The main machine with it’s own secondary stand is connected to the primary stand using the round slotted
backer on the drill body. It is bolted down using two of the short bolts with washers (one on each side). If
planning to tilt the drill horizontally to the right, you would attach one bolt/washer on the left in the bottom
bolt hole and the bolt/washer on the right side through the top bolt hole as pictured below. If you are
planning to tilt the drill horizontally to the left, you would use the left top and right bottom bolt holes
opposite below. When your angle is set, tighten the bolts.
TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE
Ø When transporting the machine, always use two hands.
Ø DO NOT transport the machine with bits in the spindle.
Ø If transporting inside a vehicle, it is recommended to transport it on its side so as to avoid the item falling
over.
Ø DO NOT carry the machine by the cord.

10”Z1 TEL CORE DRILL
10
Ø DO NOT allow the cord or plug to drag along the floor when transporting.
RUNNING THE MACHINE
Ø Do all pre-operational and operational safety checks from Chapter 1.
Ø Consider your security and stability as well as the orientation of the machine in the work area.
o Consider the work surface material, condition, strength, density and rigidity. These factors
directly affect the tools efficiency.
Ø Secure the machine to the work surface by using the telescoping function to wedge the stand. Make
certain the two parallel surfaces being wedged are strong enough to support the extreme tightening of the
telescoping stand. Generally acceptable surfaces will consist of two reinforced concrete walls.
Ø Ensure the feed handles are securely attached to the feed spindle.
Ø Ensure the work surface is free of debris, oil, etc.
Ø Select and set up fluid delivery method or dust system.
Ø Select the gear you will be using.
o Do not force the gear shifter when changing between gears. There is a neutral position between
gear 1 and gear 2.
o Change gears when the machine is stopped or almost stopped.
Ø If using the machine horizontally with the water system, connect hose to the side of the machine using the
connector.
o This connector takes standard ¾” US garden hose hookup.
o Make sure the water valve is in the off position.
§ This is generally at a 90 degree angle from the valve hose.
o Partially turn the water spigot on (usually half a turn).
§ CAUTION: DO NOT turn the hose on fully! You need sufficient water when using wet
type bits. Using too much water pressure can cause the bits to not cut properly as well
as water entering the gearbox.
Ø Select appropriate size cutting bit. See section below for details on securing bit.
Ø Check that the machine is firmly attached to the work area.
Ø Plug the machine into power source.
o Form a loose knot in the power cord close to the plug connection to prevent fluid from running
down the cord and into the power receptacle.
Ø Turn feed handle raising the cutter until the bit is above the work surface.
Ø Open the water valve to allow water to come out to the work surface.
Ø ATTENTION: BE AWARE THESE MACHINES ARE EXTREMELY POWERFUL. THEY HAVE A TREMENDOUS
AMOUNT OF TORQUE WHICH MIGHT NOT BE SUITABLE FOR ALL POTENTIAL USERS. ESPECIALLY IN
LOW GEAR AND WITH LARGER BITS. DESPITE THE SAFETY CLUTCH, THESE DRILLS CAN STILL
INJURE THE USER. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT A PROFESSIONAL FOR ADVICE.
Ø Turn the machine on by flipping the breaker switch to the “on” position.
Ø Very slowly engage the cutting bit with the material surface by lightly engaging the hand crank down
towards the material.
o NOTE: During the initial stages of contact the bit may wander.

10”Z1 TEL CORE DRILL
11
Ø After about 1/8” of cutting has been achieved in the work surface, slightly more force can be applied. This
will be the normal amount of force the rest of the hole.
o NOTE: Do not force the hole. Let the machine do most of the work. Excessive physical effort
should be avoided as it can cause damage to the machine or the user.
o If the unit jams in a hole, stop the drill immediately to prevent injury. Disconnect the drill from the
power supply and loosen the cutter by turning drill spindle counterclockwise. Never attempt to
free bit by starting motor!
§ After an interruption in drilling, make sure the drill bit is free and turns before restarting
the hole. Be very careful at this point to make certain the drill does not bind when
restarting.
Ø Make sure to keep the cutting material lubricated.
Ø Ease up on feed pressure as the cutter starts breaking through the backside of the material.
o Be certain all is clear on the output side of this core to prevent injury to persons or property.
Ø Finish drilling the hole.
Ø Turn the motor off and disconnect power once the drill is safely back up in the non-drilling position.
Ø Turn water valve off.
INSTALLING CORING BITS
Ø WARNING: Core bits can be sharp and should only be handled with gloves so as not to cut the user during
installation or removal.
Ø Check that the bits are not damaged.
o Coring bits that are damaged should not be used.
Ø Make certain the machine is unplugged from power.
Ø Raise the drill motor to ensure ample room to install the bit.
o Apply grease to the spindle thread to prevent corrosion and allow easier core bit removal.
Ø Insert the coring bit and screw it onto the drill spindle.
Ø Tighten the bit until fully tightened.
o Use wrenches that fit the spindle and coring bit to fully tighten.

General Maintenance
Ø Inspect electrical cords and electrical connections.
Ø Keep machine clean and free of debris.
Ø Check for misalignment, binding and breakage of all moving parts. If damaged, repair tool before use.
Ø Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Sharp bits are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Occasional Maintenance
Ø Have the power tool serviced by a qualified service technician using identical replacement parts.
o Change motor brushes:
1) Disconnect drill from power.
2) Unscrew left and right side brush holder caps using a flathead screw driver.
3) Take out old brushes.
o If you need to, use the screw driver to nudge them out.
4) Replace with exact same size new brushes.
5) Screw in brush holder caps tightly.
o Adjusting Carriage:
1) Periodically check and adjust slides as necessary.
2) Use hex wrench to loosen the hex bolts on the carriage. There are four hex bolts on
each adjusting slide. Backing out the bolts will loosen feed tension, while tightening
the bolts will increase feed tension.
3) Adjust the bolts evenly while moving the handle up and down so that there’s no free
play yet not binding anywhere through its range of travel.
o Change Gear Oil:
1) Change if necessary using NLGL-2 grade grease. This service is generally done around
the 50 hour service mark.
o Adjust Safety Clutch:
1) Adjust clutch as necessary.
o NOTE: A torque wrench is necessary for this service.
