GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, re and/or serieus
personal injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work area safety. Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered worksites and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquid, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in acccordance
with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adaptor plugs. Check with a qualied electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded. Don’t expose power tools to
rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Don’t abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”.
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use the tool while tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medications. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the switch is off before plugging in. Plugging in tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The SDP1 vacuum pump is a good tool to be used on a at surface, when it is
needed to set-up the drilling rig quickly or when it is not permitted to x the rig
with a mechanical anchor.
Its compact excellent weight balance and superb ergonomiscs make this tool
easy to use. On the built-in vacuum gauge it is easy to see the suction pressure
and a warning buzzer system alarms once the suction power is too low.
WARNING: ONLY USE SYSTEM FOR VERTICAL DRILLING OPERATIONS
Electrical connection
The network voltage must be conform to the voltage indicated on the tool’s name
plate. Under no circumstances should the tool be used when the power supply cable
is damaged. A damaged cable must be replaced immediately by an authorized Ramset
service center. Do not try to repair the damaged cable yourself. The use of a damaged
power cable can lead to an electric shock.
Extension cable
If an extension cable is required, it must have a sufcient cross-section so as to prevent
an excessive drop in voltage or overheating.
An excessive drop in voltage reduces the output and can lead to failure of the motor.
The following table shows you the correct cable diameter as a function of the cable
length for this machine. Use only approved extension cables. Never use two
extension cables together. Instead, use one long one.

power to the connected tool
7) After checking the correct installation of the drilling rig, you can start drilling
- Do not make drilling operations when the warning sign is buzzing or when the vacuum
gauge indicates a value lower than - 0,7 bar
- When the vacuum becomes unexpected lower than - 0,7 bar, the buzzer will start
buzzing and the electric power to the tool will cut off automatically
8) Stop the vacuum pump by turning off
the switch
9) Release the vacuum by turning the
vacuum switch on the vacuum kit
under 45°

9) Drain water by pushing the button of the
water lter with cartridge
10) Removal of the connected tool,
the drilling rig and the air hose is
opposite of assembly
Vacuum buffer tank (optional)
The tool could be used with the vacuum buffer tank. Once the power is cut suddenly,
the vacuum buffer tank could keep on providing vacuum for a long period. The vacuum
won’t be cut suddenly and it could prevent from possible danger.
Drain water by loosening the sluicing valve.
MAINTENANCE
Keep tool clean
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should
cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could
possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
Wear safety glasses while using compressed air.
DRAIN OFF WATER AFTER USE ALL THE TIME
