6. TROUBLESHOOTING

DiamondCoreDrillNotLasting-ShortLifeSpan Possible incorrect choice of diamond core drill due to a mismatch between the

bond of the segment and the material.

Checkthatasu󰀩cientrateofwaterisreachingthedrillingarea.

Check that the plug or debris is not lodged inside the core drill.

Consider using a Water Feed to run water through the internal hole of the drill.

Check the rotation speed for the diameter of the core drill and the material.

Make sure the material is held securely using clamps.

FAULT SOLUTION

OverheatingMaterialWhileDrilling There is not enough water reaching the drilling area.

Run water through the core at a high pressure.

Run water through the sides of the drill pointed at the drilling area.

Material/DrillVibration,ResultinginUnevenDrill

Holes

Checkyourmachineandrigforrunout(ifusingarig).

Make sure the machine is mounted correctly, if using a rig.

Make sure the core bit is tightly connected to the machine.

Make sure the material is held securely using clamps.

Dressthedrilltoexposeafreshlayerofdiamondtocutthematerial.Make3-5

drillholesinanabrasivestonesuchassandstoneusingplentyofwater.Doing

thisseveraltimesshouldbeenoughtowearawaythemetalcarriertoexposea

fresh layer of diamond to cut the material.

ExcessiveChippingWithDiamondCoreDrills Possible incorrect choice of diamond core drill due to a mismatch between the

bond of the segment and the material.

Check the rotation speed for the diameter of the core drill and the material.

Make sure the material is held securely using clamps.

Check the condition of the machine being used.

Make sure there is enough water in the drilling area.

Diamond Drill is Drilling Material Very Slowly Thisisoftenduetothe“glazing”ofthediamondsegment,wherethedrillmay

havebeenusedatanincorrectspeedandthetoolhasbecomeoverheated,

resulting in the metal bond that holds the diamond failing to wear away at the

correctratetoexposurenewdiamondcrystals.

UseaSharpeningBlocktodressthedrilltoexposeafreshlayerofdiamondto

cutthematerial.Make3-5drillholesinanabrasivestonesuchassandstone

usingplentyofwater.Doingthisseveraltimesshouldbeenoughtowearawaythe

metalcarriertoexposeafreshlayerofdiamondtocutthematerial.

Check that the core plug or debris is not lodged inside the core drill.

AdjusttheRPMspeedandfeedrate.

Segment Loss When Core Drilling This is the most common issue we see with core drills. It usually caused by

overheatingwhichresultsinafractureatthepointofthesegmentweldora

collision caused by an unsecured workpiece.

Consider using a Water Feed to run water through the internal hole of the drill.

Checkthatasu󰀩cientrateofwaterisreachingthedrillingarea.

Make sure the material is held securely using clamps.

Check that the core plug or debris is not lodged inside the core drill.

Diamond Drill Is Not Drilling or Cutting Thisisalsousuallyassociatedwiththe“glazing”ofthediamondtip.

Check the rotation speed for the diameter of the core drill and the material.

UseaSharpeningBlocktodressthedrilltoexposeafreshlayerofdiamondto

cutthematerial.Make3-5drillholesinanabrasivestonesuchassandstone

usingplentyofwater.Doingthisseveraltimesshouldbeenoughtowearawaythe

metalcarriertoexposeafreshlayerofdiamondtocutthematerial.

Increase the RPM speed.

Check that the core plug or debris is not lodged inside the core drill.

Possible incorrect choice of diamond core drill due to a mismatch between the

bond of the segment and the material.

This tool is to be operated in accordance with these instructions.

Measured vibration emission value (a): <2.5 m/s²

Uncertainty value (k): 1.5 m/s²

Please note that the application of the tool to a sole specialist task may produce a different average vibration emission. We recommend

that a specific evaluation of the vibration emission is conducted prior to commencing with a specialist task.

 Ahealthandsafetyassessmentbytheuser(oremployer)willneedtobecarriedouttodeterminethesuitabledurationofuseforeach

tool.
