Basic Working Techniques - Husqvarna AD 10 Manual De Instrucciones

Always use common sense
It is not possible to cover every conceivable situation you can
face. Always exercise care and use your common sense. If
you get into a situation where you feel unsafe, stop and seek
expert advice. Contact your dealer, service agent or an
experienced user. Do not attempt any task that you feel
unsure of!
Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• Observe your surroundings to ensure that nothing can
affect your control of the machine.
• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense
fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in
bad weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous
conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
• Never start to work with the machine before the working
area is clear and you have a firm foothold.
• Ensure that the working area is sufficiently illuminated to
create a safe working environment.
• Make sure that no pipes or electrical wires are routed in
the work piece or in the working area.
• Always check the rear side of the surface where the drill
bit will emerge when drilling right through. Secure and
cordon off the area and make sure that no one can be
injured or material damaged.
Electrical safety
WARNING! There is always a risk of shocks
!
from electrically powered machines. Avoid
unfavourable weather conditions and body
contact with lightning conductors and metal
objects. Always follow the instructions in the
Operator's manual to avoid damage.
WARNING! Do not wash the machine with
!
water, as water can enter the electrical
system or the engine and cause damage to
the machine or short circuit.
• Always connect the machine through an ground fault
circuit interrupter with personal protection, i.e. an ground
fault circuit interrupter that trips at an ground fault of 30
mA.
• The machine should be connected to an earthed outlet
socket.
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds with that stated
on the rating plate on the machine.
• Check that the cord and extension cord are intact and in
good condition. Always use extension cables that are
approved for outdoor use.
• Never use the machine if any cable or plug is damaged,
but hand it in to an authorized service workshop for repair.
• To avoid overheating do not use the extension cord while
it is rolled up.
• Never drag the machine by means of the cord and never
pull out the plug by pulling the cord.

OPERATING
• Keep all cables and extension leads away from water, oil
and sharp edges. Make sure the cable is not jammed in
doors, fences or the like. Otherwise it can cause the
charger to become live.
Personal safety
• Never use the machine if you are tired, if you have drunk
alcohol, or if you are taking medication that could affect
your vision, your judgement or your co-ordination.
• Never leave the machine unsupervised with the motor
running.
• Always unplug the machine during longer work breaks.
• Never work alone, always ensure there is another person
close at hand. Apart from being able to receive help to
assemble the machine, you can also get help if an
accident should occur.
• People and animals can distract you causing you to lose
control of the machine. For this reason, always remain
concentrated and focused on the task.
• Always work in a manner that permits easy access to the
emergency stop.
Use and care
• The machine is intended for use in industrial applications
by experienced operators.
• Inspection and/or maintenance should be carried out with
the motor switched off and the plug disconnected.
• Always lock the feeder housing before loosening the feed
unit to prevent the drilling machine and the drill bit falling
towards the end stop.
• Do not overload the machine. Overloading can damage
the machine.
• Always switch off the machine before you move it.
• Check that all couplings, connections and cables are
intact and free from dirt.
• Check that all cables and the water supply are correctly
connected to the machine before starting it.
• Never pull out the power cable without first switching off
the power pack and waiting for the engine to come to a
complete halt. If an emergency situation should arise
anyway, push the red emergency stop button.
• Keep all parts in good working order and ensure that all
fixtures are properly tightened.

Basic working techniques

Potentiometer function
• The unit is fed up and down along the column by turning
the potentiometer in one direction or the other.
• If the potentiometer is not in its zero position when the unit
is switched on, the feeding will not start until the knob has
passed the zero position.
• Set the load by turning the potentiometer. It is adjustable
between 1-18 A for the 230V version and 1-28 A for the
110V version.
