Safety Precautions
•Read the core drill and power source operating manuals prior to use.
•Only use the core drill in accordance with the local working regulations on
allowed working time
•Check the oil supply to the core drill. The oil supply may not exceed 5 g.p.m. (20 l.p.m.)
/max. 2500 psi (170 bar). Please refer to page 4.
•Make sure that the core bit is firmly fastened in the drill
•For handheld drilling, always use core bits approved for this purpose.
•The Rhino®core drill is supplied with a trigger lock. This may only be used when drilling in a
rig.
•The core drill has an automatic integrated clutch that makes the core drill stop if the core bit
jams. However, in case of jamming, always loosen the core bit from the material, before you
start drilling again. The integrated clutch is set from the factory and may not be disturbed.
•Start the core drill just before you start drilling, and stop it once the drilling is done. Do not
let the core drill run freely in the air.
•In case of horizontal drilling or drilling above the head, always be aware of falling debris.
•A fine jet of oil at high pressure can penetrate the skin. It is therefore important never to
use your fingers to check for oil leaks and never to hold your face close to suspected leaks –
use a piece of cardboard instead. If oil has penetrated the skin, you should get medical
treatment immediately.
•Never leave the core drill unattached when connected to the powerpack.
•Always use approved hoses. Contact your dealer, if necessary. Mount the hoses correctly so
that the core drill rotates in the correct (clockwise) direction.
•The operator must pay extra attention and show caution when working in difficult working
areas, such as slopes and other dangerous environment. Do not reach too far with the core
drill, but always maintain a good footing and keep your balance.
•The operator must be properly trained in using the core drill or under supervision of a
qualified instructor.
•The operator must always use protective goggles, earplugs, hard hat and protective
footwear when operating the core drill.

•Never use the core drill close to utilities, electric, gas, telephone, water, cable, ect. Prior to
operation, check whether there are hidden or buried cables.
•Never wear loose clothing as it may get entangled in the moving parts of the core drill or
other hazards in the work area.
•Inspection or cleaning of the core drill, change of core bit or disconnection of hoses may
never be done while the core drill is connected to the powerpack and under pressure as
unintentional activation of the core drill can cause severe damage.
•Always connect hoses to the core drill before starting the powerpack. Be sure that all
couplings are tight.
•The core drill may not be operated if the oil temperature is above 160 F° (70 C°). Operation
at higher temperatures may result in the core drill getting warmer than normal and the
operator risks getting a thermal burn.
•To avoid all personal injury and damage to the core drill, all repair, maintenance and service
work must be carried out by authorized or properly trained persons only.
•A core drill, when not in use should always be kept in a secured and dry place.
•Always make sure that the core drill labels and warning signs are legible.
•Always use hoses, couplings and spares as such recommend by Rhino®.
•Repairs may only be carried out by experienced personnel.
•Make sure that all couplings are cleaned before connection.
•Always disconnect the hydraulic circuit before connecting or disconnecting the core drill. If
this is not done, there is a risk of damage to the quick release
couplings or the hydraulic system getting overheated.

Oil Flow and Pressure
Your new Rhino®core drill is designed for a certain oil flow, working pressure and maximum
pressure. A too high oil flow and/or a too high pressure results in overload of the core drill,
meaning that the lifetime of your new Rhino®tool will not be as expected, and that you incur
higher service and repair costs will be higher
It is important to check that the core drill is not supplied with an oil flow beyond its design
capacity, that the working pressure is correct and that the maximum allowed pressure is not
exceeded.
On page 7 you will find the technical data, and on page 10 there is a guide to connection to
hydraulic power sources and how to ensure that the core drill is not overloaded.
Useful Information Regarding the Use of Core Drill
The Rhino®core drill is a small and compact tool with a high performance. There is no other
core drill on the market with a higher performance in relation to size.
It is the perfect tool for drilling jobs in all kinds of concrete, brick wall, asphalt etc.
The core drill can be mounted in a rig, but the great advantage of this tool is that all drilling
jobs can be done by hand. This is due to an automatic clutch, which makes the core drill stop
immediately if the core bit jams.
The core drill has two handles, and with a 360° infinitely variable adjustment of the front
handle, optimum operator comfort is achieved.
The core drill can drill holes from 1.97” to 13.78” (50 mm to 350 mm). Drilling jobs beyond
7.87” (200 mm) are for experienced users only.
The rotary speed is variable by means of the lever, which facilitates the drilling start.
As handheld drilling is possible for all jobs, the operator saves a lot of time as he does not have
to mount a drilling rig prior to operation. For rig drilling, the Rhino®core drill can be mounted
in the most common drilling rigs with a diameter of 2.36” (60 mm).
The core drill is unaffected by water and can be operated in all non-hazardous environments –
also underwater drilling. This means that there is no shock hazard in excavations etc., as is the
case with electric core drills.
The core drill can also be connected to excavators and other machines. We recommend the use
of a Rhino®oil flow divider to protect the core drill against a high oil supply, high pressure and
backwards rotation. Please refer to page 10.

As standard the core drill comes with 1/2" thread and with the adaptor 1 1/4” -7UNC thread.
This way the core drill can also be used with a 1/2” drill chuck for other drilling jobs, where a
percussive function is not applicable.
The core drill is designed for dry as well as wet drilling. The best result is achieved by means of
wet drilling, as this cools the core bit and removes the bore meal, thus reducing the wear on the
core bit as much as possible.
The utility values of your Rhino®core drill are numerous, and we are confident that you will be
very pleased with your investment.

Starting Instructions
START
•Mount a core bit in the drill
•Connect hoses – clean couplings before connection. Connect water supply.
•Set the power source on ”ON”.
•Get a good footing, adjust the front handle and lock it. Keep it locked during drilling.
•Press the trigger lever against the handle and start the core drill.
•In case of handheld drilling, start by holding the core bit at an oblique angle towards the
material, so that only 1/5 of the core bit diameter cuts the material. When gradually a
groove is cut in the material, slowly move the core bit to drilling with the whole diameter.
Once a groove is cut on the entire diameter, press the core bit against the material and
drill through.
•In case of drilling in a rig, press the core bit slowly against the material, and once a
groove has been cut on the entire diameter, increase the pressure on the core bit and
keep it stable until the drilling is done.
•A constant and sufficient water supply is important, as it cools the core bit, removes the
bore meal and guarantees the best result with as little wear on the core bit as possible.
STOP
•Remove the core bit from the material and let go of the trigger lever.
•Set the power source on ”OFF”, and disconnect the water supply.

Connection to Hydraulic Power Sources
The core drill can be connected to various hydraulic power sources, such as excavators, trucks,
loaders, tractors etc., and of course Rhino®powerpacks, the design of which ensures your new
Rhino®core drill the absolute best working conditions.
It is important that the core drill is not subjected to an oil flow and a working pressure beyond
its design capability. Please refer to the ID-tag on the core drill in case of doubt.
Check the oil flow and the working pressure by means of test equipment. The test equipment
should comprise a pressure gauge, a flow meter and a valve for adjustment of pressure.
Make sure that:
•the oil flow is not too high
•the working pressure is not too high
•the return pressure is not too high
•the pressure relief valve is not set higher than 2400 psi. (170 bar)
•the internal diameter of the hoses is sufficient (min. 3/8”)
•all couplings are in order
•the power source is equipped with an oil filter of min. 25 Micron
Hoses with too small internal diameter and/or defect couplings cause the core drill to work with
incorrect working pressure.
Your dealer can help you check this.
If the output of the power source is too high:
•the power source must be adjusted to correct output
•or you can choose to mount a Rhino®oil flow divider to protect the core drill against
overload
•or you can choose one of our Rhino®powerpacks. Your dealer can guide you in choosing
the right powerpack.
In case of doubt, please contact your dealer or Rhino®.
