Repairs

IMPORTANT! All types of repairs may only be carried out by authorised repairmen. This is so that the operators are not exposed to great risks.

Clutch disc

If transmitted torque is lowered, clutch disc requires adjustments. Entrust this to an authorized service center.

Replacing the carbon brushes

The carbon brushes must be removed and checked regularly. Weekly if the machine is used daily or at longer intervals if the machine is used more seldom. The area of wear should be even and undamaged.

Both carbon brushes must always be replaced as a pair, but one at a time. Do as follows:

1 Remove the cover for the carbon brushes using a flat wide screwdriver.

Troubleshooting schedule

ProblemSteps on the spotProbable causeSolution
Drilling is unusually slow.Check bit.Bit is worn out.Replace bit.
Bit is clogged with chips.Clean bit with a wire brush and increase water pressure.
Diamond is rounded.Use a softer bond bit. Increase force on handle.
Check for metal powder in waste water.Drill is cutting reinforcing rods.Ease up the handle to avoid tripping the circuit breaker.
Bit is stuck.Shut off drill.Stone or steel bar is caught between core and bit.Using a wrench, rotate the bit clockwise to free it while backing out the handle. (Rotating it counterclockwise may unscrew the bit from the tube.)
Base wanders during drilling.Reset the base and tighten securely.
Clamp has too much free play.Adjust clearance of clamp properly.
The bit's outer diameter is the same as the tube's.Replace bit.
Tube is abraded.Clamp has too much free play.Adjust clearance of clamp properly.
Bit, tube, or base are loose.Tighten securely.
Bit is deformed.Replace bit.
Chips not discharging well.Increase water pressure and volume.
