III. Operation and maintenance
Note:
 Clean the parts from rust-protecting oil before starting the rock drill for the first time. All
surfaces should be lubricated before reassembly
 Blow away any accumulated dirt and moisture adhering to couplings and air lines before
connecting the air hose to the rock drill, any dirt inside may cause damage to parts.
 Warning! Ensure that the fittings are tight before operation, in order to avoid injury to people
caused by loose air hose and damage to parts.
 Before starting the machine, adjust the control valve and pressure regulating valve to the
closed position, fill the lubricator with oil.
 Before operation, run the machine at idling speed for 3-5 minutes under a pressure of 0.3Mpa.
Deliver the machine to work site for operating if it performs well.
 Air pressure in air supply hose should be around 0.4Mpa. High pressure may damage the
parts and causes rough operation, whereas low pressure results in low drilling efficiency.
 Run at medium speed when retracting drill steel from the drilled hole.
 Pay attention to the lubrication oil amount, fill the lubricator if necessary.
Please notes: Operation without lubricating is not allowed.

 This machine was assembled for dry rock drilling. When wet drilling is required,
disassemble the water pipe nut for air blowing purpose, and change to the nut for
water flushing purpose. When finishing the work, first disconnect the water
supply, and keep the drill under slight running, to clear away the residual water
which would make the parts get rusty.
 Strictly prohibit operating the machine with water/air tube disassembled, which
will cause machine abnormal running, and damage the parts. During dry drilling,
it allows to cut water/air tube 50-60 mm, which can lengthen water/air tube
lifetime and increase the blowing/flushing force
 Please note: During normal operation, two nuts of side bolts can loosen, so check the
tightness at regular intervals. Be aware of sudden steel shaft breakage during operation.
 For lengthy period of non-use, please disassemble, clean and lubricate the machine for
storage.

1. Control handle and its operation
1.1 Control valve
Its function is to control start and stop of drill, totally having five positions, as shown
in Figure below. Position (0): stop, (1) – (4) slight running to full running

1.2 Open-close valve

Open-close valve is to control strong blowing of the machine. Only two positions for
this valve, as shown in Figure below. Position (0): stop strong blowing, machine starts

4
running. (1) Connect strong blowing, machine stops running.

2. Selection of lubrication oil
It is very important to select the right lubrication oil in order to develop machine’s full
performance and prolonging parts service life. Owing to the high impact velocity of the drill
parts and heavy pressure upon the fitting surface of the rotary parts, the running surface of
parts should be well lubricated, and free from rust. The lubricating oil must possess of film
strength and be able to flow on various conditions such as different season temperature and
humidity; furthermore it should have proper kinematics viscosity.
The operator can refer to some lubrication oil list in the following table considering local
working temperature

Atmosphere temperature 10℃－30℃ -10℃－10℃ -30℃－-10℃

Name Engine oil Engine oil Refrigerated oil
Type N46 N22 HD – 13

Kinematic viscosity 10-4m2/s 40℃ 41.1-50.6 19.8-24.2 11-15 (50℃)

Congealing point (℃) - 10℃ -15℃ -40℃
Standard GB443-84 GB443-84 SY1213-79
Flash point (℃) 180 170 160
The choice for selecting oil viscosity varies with working temperature. Use oil with high
viscosity at high temperature, use low viscosity oil at low temperature.

3. Air hose, air pressure and water pressure

The diameter of air hose should be no less than 25mm. Inner diameter of connection nipple
and hose should be no less than 19mm. The ideal overall length is less than 30m.
Working pressure shall not exceed 0.63 Mpa. Higher pressure will damage the parts and
increase the risk of drill steel breakage, whereas, if the pressure is lower than 0.3 Mpa, the
efficiency will be relatively low.
Water pressure should be lower than air pressure otherwise the water can enter the mechanism,
which will make lubrication ineffective and cause the parts to corrode after a short period of
non use.

4. Drill steel

The drill steel should be of good quality and have a shank of right size and shape. The standard drill
steel (GB/T6481) made by the qualified factories should be used.
The quality of shank should meet the following standard:

The drill steels should be of good quality. The following requirements must be met in regards of
manufacturing and operating drill steel:
 The suitable quenching hardness of shank is HRC48-53. Harder end face will cause piston
damaged and breakage of the end face of the piston. If shank face is too soft, it will be
easily deformed by piston, which will result in difficulty in retracting the drill steel. Shank

6
end face should be flat and perpendicular to the axis. Sharp edges at end face should be
removed. Rough shank surface will cause damage to piston and partial cracks of the shank.
 It is not allowed to operate the machine if cracks on shank are found as this will cause the
piston to wear excessively fast. Unsuitable shank length affects drilling efficiency. Radius
of shank collar must not be too small, as this will result in increased breakage of the shank.
 Drill steel should not be bent as this will lead to increased wear of the shank bushing and

 piston. Furthermore, it can also affect drilling efficiency and increase the risk of drill steel
breakage.
 The eccentric tolerance of shank center hole is 1mm. If the eccentric tolerance is too large
or the center hole too small it will increase the chances of the shank breaking

IV. Notes for disassembling/assembling and maintenance

Parts must be kept clean when dismantling/reassembling, and avoid from hammered,
especially for fitting surface of key parts; all parts should be oiled for assembling. If any
parts or components can’t be assembled, you should try to assemble it on the center line,
and oil for trial running after assembling.
For disassembling because of too much wear, heat the shank rotation sleeve up to 200℃
as well, jam the lower part with wet cloth, which makes shank bushing shrink, then
insert shank into upper end, and hammer the shank bushing out.

7
When assembling, heat up the rotation sleeve to 200℃, and assemble shank bushing
inside quickly, then cool it down naturally. If condition permitted, press it by press
machine.

V. Troubleshooting
Problem Cause Solution
Drilling speed Low working air pressure 1. Check pressure pipe load, reasonably reduce

is too low the quantity of Rock Drills in simultaneous

operation.
2. Eliminate hose leakage problem, check if air
hose diameter and its switch size is too small 3.
Air hose is too long, cut it to suitable length.
Insufficient lubrication 1. Lack of lubrication oil in oiler. Refill oil.
2. Lubrication oil is dense and dirty, replace as
specified.
Water leaks from Front 1. Water tube broke, replace
head 2. Central hole of drill steel is too small or
blocked, replace drill steel
Main parts wear 1. Contact surface between cylinder and piston
is scratched. Polish it by oil stone.
2. Replace defective air valve parts
3. Main parts such as piston, rifle bar, rifle nut,
ratchet pawl rotation sleeve and shank bushing
etc, wear seriously, replace immediately.
Incorrect shank size Supply correct shank
Difficult to Water/air tube was Assemble water/air tube;
start disassembled;
Lubrication oil is too Replace lubrication oil
sticky
Water/air Mushrooms on small end Replace piston or drill steel
tube break face of piston, center hole
in shank is not in
alignment.
Clearance between shank Hex. Size wears to 2mm in shank bushing, then
and shank bushing is too replace it, otherwise it will cause water/air tube
big to break as well as piston and drill steel
Water tube is too long Make water tube in suitable length
Shank bushing hole is Make shank bushing according to
shallow production drawing
Drill steel Air pressure is too high Reduce air pressure
break
Speed up engine suddenly Start up slowly

Drill steel is deformed Straighten the drill steel
Radius on drill steel Make shank according to the drawing
collar is too small
Shank is overheated. Heat Improve the shank production process
treatment cracks on shank
