and the respiratory tract. To avoid breathing impairment, always us dust controls and protection suitable to the material being sawed or drilled; See OSHA (19 CFR Part 1910.1200). Diamond Blades improperly used are dangerous. Comply with American National Standards Institute Safety Code, B7.1 and, Occupational Safety and Health Act covering speed, Safety Guards, Flanges, Mounting Procedures, General Operating Rules, Handling, Storage and General Machine Conditions. CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 MESSAGE: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding and other construction activities contain chemi- cals known [to the State of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: ● Lead, from lead-based paints ● Crystalline silica, from bricks and cement and other masonry products ● Arsenic and chromium, from chemically treated lumber For Further information, consult the following sources: http://www.osha-slc.gov/sltc/sillicarystalline/index.html http://www.oehha.org/prop65/out_of_date/6022kLstA.html Your risk from these exposures varies depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

You can improvise a drill guide using a piece of wood or plastic. Make a V-shaped insertion like illustrated and tape or clamp the guide onto the tile in the desired position. ● Always use the PRCD Switch Mount the Drill Bit: ● Prior to the installation of the diamond bit it is important that both the machine adapter and the diamond bit are cleaned and greased. ● For Bit Diameters Ø3/8" - Ø2 5/8" use the Adapter (12) that is supplied with the machine. ● Mount the bit with the flat side opposing the locking screw. ● Secure the bit using the socket head screwdriver (7) ● Remove the socket head screwdriver. ● Removal of the bit is done in reverse order. After use dry and lubricate the bit before putting it back into the original packing. Before changing tools always unplug the machine Water Supply: ● When using the water tank (2): Fill the water tank to the 5 liter level and pressurize by pumping at least 10 times. Connect the water tank and the hose to the drilling unit. ● For drill bit diameters over 2 5/8" always use hose adapter (13) and a direct connection to the main water supply.

OPERATING PROCEDURES Ventilation openings in the housing of the machine ● The ventilation openings must be free from objects such as Styrofoam, stone or concrete debris. Remove these objects before using the machine. If the ventilation openings are not clear it will mean that the cooling of the motor is diminished and can damage the machine. ● There is a small hole in the water injection head located behind the connecting valve for the water hose. When there is water coming out this small hole it is recommen- ded that you stop using the machine and contact your local service center. Continuing to use the machine can result in damage to your machine Storage after Use ● The machine should be kept in a dry place and kept out of the reach of children Defects and Faults ● Contact your Rodia Distributor for repair work. They can direct you to a service center. ● Plug in the machine ● Reset the GFCI Switch (11) ● Use the table below as a guideline to select the RPM for your drill bit diameter and start the machine. (note the these may vary with the different materials you are drilling) Bit Diameter Position 3/8" - 11/16" (Pos. 5) 3/4" - 1 1/8" (Pos. 4) 1 1/4" - 2" (Pos. 3) 2 3/8" - 3 1/2" (Pos. 2) 4 3/8" - 5" (Pos. 1/2) ● Open the Water Valve until a little water comes out the drill. ● You are now ready to drill ● It is important that you do not push on the drilling machine but let the machine do the work. ● When the drilling performance of the machine starts to decline it is recommended to dress the diamond bit using a dressing stick (see page 9). ● If the bit locks during the drilling process it is recommended to stop drilling immediately so that the machine and the tile are not damaged. Take the drill out carefully by lifting it straight up from the drilling hole and try to start drilling again. Never have the machine rotating when trying to take out the drill. This can damage your machine. REPAIR & MAINTENANCE
