Fastening by means of quick action bracing unit
In order to brace the drill rig by means of the quick action bracing unit,
the distance to the opposite wall must be between 1.7 m and 3 m.
Fixing on the floor by means of vacuum
Do not use the vacuum fastening on the wall or overhead!
Vacuum fixing may only be used if the area to be drilled is level, free of
pinholes and cracks, otherwise this method cannot be applied.
For the vacuum fixing you need the vacuum pump, plate and the vacuum
tube (see picture). These are available on request.
Connect the drill rig and the vacuum pump by means of the vacuum tube.
Bring the drill rig into the correct position and switch the pump on.
Check whether the four levelling screws in the base plate are completely
turned back and a vacuum of -0.8 bar minimum is achieved.
The vacuum pump has to run during the complete operation, it is to be placed
in such a position that you can monitor the pressure gauge at all times.
