Operating Instructions
This machine is designed for drilling holes in cement blocks
and brickwork using the appropriate RIDGID diamond core bits
and accessories. We strongly recommend that it NOT be modi-
ed and/or used for any application other than for which is was
intended including powering other equipment. Ensure that the
total work area can be viewed from the operating position. Use
barriers to keep people away. When drilling in ceilings or walls
ensure there are no electrical mains, gas or water pipes that may
be accidentally drilled. Use a metal detector for location before
drilling. Take care that falling debris will not cause any injury.
IMPORTANT NOTE
This tool is for professional use only
Ensure correct diamond core bit is being used for the application
and that the bit is in good condition. The unit has a high torque

OPERATION
Side handle
When drilling by hand always use the drill with the side handle
xed (Fig. 1).
Electronic ON/OFF switch
The speed is increased the further the switch is depressed allow-
ing precise control during drilling. In normal conditions always
work at the maximum speed.
Speed selection (HC-2 & RB-3W models) (Fig. 2)
Check the recommended speed for the size of diamond drill be-
ing used.
CAUTION: only change speeds when the machine has stopped
and only in a clockwise direction! (Note: it may help to slightly
rotate the spindle manually if any resistance is felt).
DRY DRILLING
The dust generated by certain materials can be injurious to your
health. Where possible always operate machines in a well-venti-
lated area and use adequate protective dust masks. We strongly
recommend the use of the dust extractor with a vacuum cleaner
(See Fig. 3).
