General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your (corded) power tool.
Work area safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating the power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety

- 3 -
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools.
2. 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 earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Never use a power tool with a damaged cord. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. (14 gauge minimum)
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected power supply. Use of a GFCI
protected circuit reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position
before connecting to power source and picking up or carrying the power tool.
Never carry power tools with your finger on the switch.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.

5. Do not overreach. Always keep proper footing and balance. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
2. Never use a malfunctioning power tool.Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Preventative safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Proper training is required. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
damaged parts, and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories, and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these
instructions, accounting for the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.

Service
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
Diamond Core Drill Safety Warnings
1. Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool to control the power tool during
use and to prevent injury. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
2. Consider the work area environment: Don’t use the diamond core drill in damp
or wet locations. Don’t expose the diamond core drill to rain. Keep work area well-
lit. Flammable liquids or gases must not be present. The electrical motor produces
sparks during normal rotating, the sparks may cause the risk of fire.
3. Grounding of Class I tools is necessary while in use to protect you from electric
shock. Class I tools are equipped with an approved three-prong conductor cord and
three-prong grounding-type plug. The green/yellow conductor in the cord is the
grounding wire, one end of wire is in the grounding side of the tool’s outer shell,
the other end of wire is connected to the ground wire of the plug. Never connect
the green/yellow wire to a live terminal.
4. Warning! The power outlet must be equipped with proper grounding.
Do not plug Class I tools into the outlet without grounding.
5. When using an extension cord, use only three-prong conductor cord and with
reliable grounding.
6. Use of personal protective equipment is required.
7. To avoid electric shock, verify proper grounding of the power source before
operating. Verify that power lines, plumbing, gas lines or other hazards are not
under the surface being drilled.
8. When drilling a ceiling, rope off areas above and below to avoid the danger of
falling debris.
9. When connecting the drill to a water source, be sure that there are no water
leaks to prevent electrical hazards and damage to the motor.

10. Inspect hoses and other critical parts of the tool for damage before each use.
11. The maximum permitted pressure of the liquid supply is 80 PSI.
12. Never use the core drill without the provided GFCI.
13. Test the correct operation of the GFCI before each use. The red light will be
illuminated after pressing the “RESET” button. The light will be off after pressing
the “TEST” button. The tool can only be operated when the GFCI is operating
correctly.
14. Replacement of the plug or the supply cord shall always be carried out by the
manufacturer of the tool or qualified professional.
15. Keep water away from the tool. Water must not enter the electrical
compartment. Use appropriate water collection/control.
Handling Instructions
1. Using the drill in a core rig stand: Before operating, fix the base on the work
piece reliably and tightly, fasten it with expansion bolts, then fastening four (4)
bolts on the base uniformly, in the end, tightening them with the nuts.
2. Core bit installation: Install the diamond bit carefully. Ensure the end thread
matches with the end output shaft. The thread of the drill should be lightly greased.
3. Connect the drill to the water supply and open the valve.
4. Material: When drilling on the reinforced concrete and when encountering steel
reinforcement, the load will increase. Vibration may increase. Reduce the working
pressure to prevent overloading of the drill. If the gravel or debris falls into the
hole, the drill may be caught and cause the clutch to slip. If the thermal overload is
tripped, allow up to 3 minutes to reset. When drilling thick asphalt and other
materials, the load will be higher, so drill slowly and uniformly. If the clutch slips
continuously, stop the drill and re-torque the clutch.
5. Remove drill core: When the drill bit almost drills through the floor or wall
materials, be careful to reduce the drill speed to maintain control. Be careful when
removing the drill core to avoid damage to the drill and core bit.
6. Keep the motor ventilated and do not block vents. Allow the drill to cool down
between uses.

7. Waterless operation is forbidden. During operation, there should be plenty of
water flow to cool the core bit and remove slurry from the core.
8. Do not allow the motor to become wet. Keep the enclosure of the motor away
from the water to prevent shock and damage.
9. Drill vibration when using the drill in a core drill stand: When drilling, the gap
between the elevating body and square pipe and rack may need to be adjusted. It
may cause the drill rig to vibrate. Power down the tool and adjust the track lining
or idle wheel on elevating body by tightening the bolts to adjust it to the proper
gap.

Maintenance
If the drill malfunctions, take it to an authorized service center. Do not attempt to
repair or replace parts.
Check the electric brush and commutator periodically. When the brushes are worn
to the length of about 7mm, they must be changed. Use only original equipment
provided by Virginia Abrasives to avoid commutator damage. Both brushes must
be changed at the same time. If you find heavy sparking while in use, or the
commutator is worn or burned seriously, the commutator may need to be replaced.
The drill should be checked and repaired periodically after continued use. Check
for wear on the power cord and that the grounding is reliable. The switch and plug
must work properly. Check to confirm exterior bolts and screws are tightened
properly.
Replace the rubber sealing washer. After using for a long time, if you find the
water is coming in the top of the drill, please check and replace the sealing washer
immediately. If you find some lubricating oil leaking into the mid-cover air vent,
replace the rubber sealing oil ring on the rotor spindle.
Use only #110 industrial gear oil. Do not use common engine oil.
Store your drill in a dry, clean place. Keep the drill clean and dry when not in use.
Remove the drill bit from the main shaft of the drill. Apply a small amount of
grease to the threads.
