Ensure your drill is compatible with the SCD28 attachment. Align the attachment's shank with your drill's chuck and tighten securely following the drill manufacturer's instructions.
Regularly inspect the drill attachment for wear and damage. Clean the attachment after each use, and lubricate any moving parts as needed. Store in a dry place to prevent rusting.
The SCD28 is designed for drilling through hard materials such as concrete, masonry, and stone. Avoid using on metallic or extremely tough surfaces that may damage the diamond segments.
Check for dull or damaged diamond segments and replace if necessary. Ensure the drill speed is appropriate for the material being drilled. Verify that the drill is properly aligned and that adequate pressure is applied during use.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety goggles, gloves, and hearing protection. Ensure the work area is clear of debris and maintain a firm grip on the drill at all times.
The SCD28 is not designed for use with hammer drills. Using it with a hammer function can damage the diamond segments and reduce performance. Use only with a compatible rotary drill.
Use the attachment at the correct speed and pressure for the material being drilled. Avoid overheating by using water as a lubricant and cooling agent when necessary. Store the drill attachment properly after use.
Stop drilling immediately to prevent damage. Gently rock the drill back and forth while attempting to extract the bit. If necessary, reverse the drill direction to help free the bit.
Excessive dust is often due to dry drilling. Utilize water cooling or a vacuum attachment to minimize dust generation. Ensure that the drill is aligned correctly and not operating at too high a speed.
Ensure the drill is held steady and perpendicular to the surface. Use a guide or template if necessary. Start drilling at a lower speed to establish a clean cut before increasing to full speed.
