This machine is designed for drilling holes in cement blocks
and brickwork using the appropriate RIDGID diamond core bits
and accessories. We strongly recommend that it NOT be modi-
fied and/or used for any application other than for which is was
intended including powering other equipment. Ensure that the
total work area can be viewed from the operating position. Use
barriers to keep people away. When drilling in ceilings or walls
ensure there are no electrical mains, gas or water pipes that may
be accidentally drilled. Use a metal detector for location before
drilling. Take care that falling debris will not cause any injury.
IMPORTANT NOTE
This tool is for professional use only
Ensure correct diamond core bit is being used for the application
and that the bit is in good condition. The unit has a high torque
and the following precautions should be taken to avoid injury:
• Do not force the tool and take care not to block the bit
whilst drilling.
• Ensure that you are correctly and firmly holding the tool
with both hands when working.
• Do not use the tool with arms extended or if both feet are
not on a firm stable surface.
OPERATION

When drilling by hand always use the drill with the side handle
fixed (Fig. 1).
Electronic ON/OFF switch
The speed is increased the further the switch is depressed allow-
ing precise control during drilling. In normal conditions always
work at the maximum speed.

CAUTION: only change speeds when the machine has stopped
162
and only in a clockwise direction! (Note: it may help to slightly
rotate the spindle manually if any resistance is felt).
DRY DRILLING
The dust generated by certain materials can be injurious to your
health. Where possible always operate machines in a well-venti-
6,8
lated area and use adequate protective dust masks. We strongly
recommend the use of the dust extractor with a vacuum cleaner

(See Fig. 3).
