Drilling Precautions
Beware with Blow Up of Cuttings

Check if cuttings are blows up by means of flushing air during drilling. If the blowhole at the bit tip is
stuffed, the flushing air pressure is increased.
If the blowout of the flushing air becomes weak, cuttings cannot be discharged normally to easily
result in hole stuffing and jamming.
When the anti-jamming switch is anti-jamming position, the drifter moves backward automatically
when the flushing air pressure has increased, or the airflow has dropped due to stuffing of bit tip.
Clean the Drilling Hole

If the cuttings cannot be discharged normally or the flushing air pressure increases, stop the impact
and move the drifter up and down 2 3 times to clean the hole before re-starting drilling.
When the anti-jamming switch is set to anti-jamming position, the drifter is automatically stopped
moving forward if the rotation pressure is excessively increased.
Beware of Spring Water

If dirty water is collected, the filter element in the dust collector may be clogged and dust collection
degraded.
If spring water comes out during drilling, tilt the dust collector
switch backward and stop the dust collector operation.
