INTRODUCTION:
ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS: For your personal safety, read and understand before using.
Save these instructions for future reference
This drill stand is designed to mount diamond core drilling motors by using a suitable mounting
spacer. A standard 4 bolt mounting spacer is included with this stand. The drill stand guides
the motor and diamond core bit so that it is possible to drill perfectly straight cuts in a safe and
controlled manner.
The stand is also able to slant so that holes may be cored at an angle as required.
This stand must be securely fastened to the workpiece using a concrete anchor.
WARNING: Do not attempt to use this stand if the mounting system does not t perfectly
to the drilling motor.
MOUNTING THE MOTOR TO THE DRILL STAND
Rig-Mounted Type Motors:
If the drill motor is the 4 bolt rig-mounted type, the drill stand’s mounting spacer must be bolted
to the drill motor. The mounting tenon must t securely in the slot in the back of the drill motor,
then evenly tighten the four bolts. This mounting spacer now acts as a secure and accurate
coupling between the drill motor and the drill stand. The mounting spacer now ts in the dovetail
in the stand’s cradle and is secured by the cradle lock bolt.
Hand-Held Type Motors:
If the drill motor is the hand-held type, the clamp bracket must be used. The clamp bracket
must rst be bolted to the mounting spacer. Then the motor’s gearcase collar must be mounted
in the clamp bracket. Generally, the drill motor’s side handle will need to be rst removed. To
insert, rst loosen the clamp bracket using the crank handle as a wrench, then insert the motor,
turn to the desired orientation and then securely fasten the clamp bolt.
Now the assembly may be tted into the dovetail in the stand’s cradle and the cradle lock bolt
securely tightened.

EXTENSION SPACERS
For larger diameter core bits, extension spacers are required to maintain clearance between
the bit and the the stand. Extension spacers in sizes 45, 100, 150 and 200mm are optionally
available. These may also be stacked together as needed to acheive the required distance.
These mount to the cradle using two bolts and both bolts must be securely tightened. The
motor unit in turn mounts to the spacer
WARNING: Always ensure that all mounting fasteners are securely tightened.
WARNING: Never attempt to drill unless the stand is xed securely beyond any doubt.

DRILLING STAND FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Fastening the drill rig
Once the desired position of the rig is determined, Use a concrete anchor to secure the rig.
Drill a suitable sized hole for the anchor with a hammer drill.
Drive in the anchor.
Use a long threaded rod with a large washer and nut to secure the base.
Before fully tightening the nut, use a spirit level to check if the stand is level. If needed, loosen
the locknuts and adjust the four leveling bolts to achieve levelness. Then retighten the locknuts.
Now fully tighten the securing nut which afxes the base to the work surface.
NOTE: We recommend using the optional Anchoring Plate for the most secure possible
xing of the base to the workpiece. Place the anchoring plate on the base with the
threaded rod through the hole. Then add the washer and nut. Tighten secularly.
(QDS-500 & QDS-800 only).
Note: If mounting on a wall, it is usually more convenient to secure the stand with the
motor head removed. Using the 19mm combination wrench, loosen the cradle lock bolt
on the carriage to lift the motor head up and away. Once the stand is xed, the motor
head may be re-installed on the stand. Be sure to securely tighten the cradle lock bolt(s).
Note: If additional security is needed, use the jackscrew with an appropriate length
bracing column between the opposite wall or ceiling dependent on where the rig is
situated. Be sure to risk assess the surrounding wall/ ceiling construction before using
this method of anchoring the rig.
ADJUSTING THE DRILLING ANGLE
The drilling angle can be tilted from 0 to 45 degrees. To adjust
the angle, use the crank handle as a wrench and loosen the
angle clamp bolt. Refer to the scale on the column indicating
the angle. Adjust to the desired angle and tighten the clamp.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten the clamp. Only tighten the
necessary amount to make the clamp secure. Overtightening
could distort the column.
0 to 45 degrees

CARRIAGE LOCK
Slide the carriage lock lever to the left to lock the carriage in
place. Slide the lever to the right to release the carriage. On
some models, the carriage lock is a thumb screw on the right
side of the carriage. Tighten to lock, loosen to release.
CAUTION: Hold the crank lever or motor head whenever
releasing the carriage lock. It could slam down causing
possible injury or damage to the bit or machine.
Carriage Lock Lever
REDUCTION GEARING
On the larger size stands, QDS-500,
QDS-800, there are two crank spindles:
one for standard cranking and one for reduced gear ratio
cranking. The reduced gear ratio allows the operator
to drill with greatly reduced effort when using large
diameter core bits. To switch from standard to reduced
gear ratio cranking, simply remove the crank handle
from the main spindle and connect to the forward spindle
on the left side.
Standard Ratio
Reduced Ratio
ADJUSTING THE DRILLING STAND GUIDANCE
Loose guidance will cause the bit to run out-of-true
and result in poor performance, sticking and possible
damage to the bit. If the rollers can be turned by hand
with the carriage locked, they are too loose.
To adjust the guidance, the two guide rollers on the left
side are on eccentric shafts. Turn the eccentric roller
axle bolt until the clearance is taken up on each roller
in turn. Turn just enough so that the roller cannot be
turned by hand. Now test the tightness of the carriage by
cranking it up and down. There should be no free-play,
yet no binding throughout its travel.
Adjustable Roller
Axle Bolts
Right side Roller Axle Bolts are not adjustable
