1. Safety Precautions
1.1 Safety Management
Importance of Personal Self-Management

If your physical condition is not sound you might make the wrong decision at a dangerous
moment.
Never operate the machine if you have not had enough sleep or if your physical condition is not
satisfactory.
Follow the Rules on Site

z Only trained and qualified person can operate the machine.
A designated operator should only operate the machine.
z The operator of the machine should be thoroughly instructed in its operation before work
begins.
z Create a work plan for the job: prepare daily and monthly work reports to record work
progress.
z Make very sure of the blasting time and place and of the escape zone.
z When another relieves the machine operator the latter should be informed orally or in
writing of the machine condition.
z When guiding personnel is arranged, decide on the signs. The operator should follow the
signs of the guide.
Wear Safe and Protective Clothing

z Wear working clothing of the right size, so that it is not
snagged or rolled by the operation levers or projecting
sections.
z Never wear oily work clothes: they are highly flammable.
When operating, wear protective clothing such as
helmet, protective glasses, earplugs, and dust-proof
mask and safety shoes.
z According to the nature of the operation, wear the
required protective clothing, such as insulated clothes,
protective gloves, and safety belt.

aid kit and know how to administer first aid.
z Read the instruction manual for the fire extinguisher in
advance. Be sure to understand its type and use.
z Decide a contact address and method of communication
in case of emergency: keep a telephone No. list at hand.
SS-003
Keep the “Safety Signs” Clean

The safety signs and nameplates affixed to the machine
describe the precautions in handling.
Follow instructions whenever the machine is operated,
inspected, or maintained.
If the safety sign has damaged or discolored, affix a new

safety sign.
SS-004
No Modifications
z If a trouble occurred or if the machine is disassembled and repaired, or modification is
required, contact your nearest distributor.
z We are not responsible for indemnity of any accident or breakdown (directly or indirectly)
caused by unapproved modification (including disassembly and repair).
Use Furukawa Genuine Parts

z No irregularity caused by unapproved components is covered by warranty.
z Our company takes no responsibility for any irregularity, breakdown, or accident, caused by
the use of an unapproved component. When a component is changed, use only “Furukawa
Genuine Parts” as listed on the parts list.
1-1-2
Safety Management
Beware of Fire
All oils including fuel are flammable. If near to fire, they in turn will catch fire.
z When supplying the fuel or lubricants, stop the engine beforehand.
z Do not smoke or put fire in the place where oil is supplied.
z Store fuel and lubricants in well-ventilated place and let nobody except designated
personnel go there.
z Do not check fuel or oil leakage with naked flame of match or lighter.
z When degradation of hydraulic piping or oil hoses and any non-conformity such as oil
leakage or hose is found, repair or replace immediately．
SS-034 SS-005
Use Safety Equipment Correctly

Do not remove or modify safety equipment.
If safety equipment is used incorrectly, it might cause a dangerous accident resulting in injury
or death.
1-1-3
Precautions before Engine Start
1.2 Precautions before Engine Start
Secure Onsite Safety

Before operation, check the topography, geographical
features and road conditions in the operation site and record
them.
z For a dangerous zone in which the mount might
collapse, take measures such as “KEEP OUT” or
arrange for guiding personnel.
z Do not allow anybody except associated personnel to
enter the operation site.
z If the ground becomes soft after rain a landslide might
occur due to the mass or vibration of the machine.
Approach the soft or weakened ground only with great
care.
z When drilling close to a soil wall there is a danger that
falling stones or collapse may cause serious injury or
death. Remove fragmented rocks carefully before the
Ｒ
ＤＡＮＧＥ
operation.
z On sites near power lines or high-tension cables,
contact the Power Company in advance and keep
sufficient distance between the machine and lines or
cables.
Level the Ground

With an inclined ground or mount, great stability change might cause the machine to fall.
z Arrange and level the ground before bringing in the machine.
z Launch the machine on solid and level ground.
Beware of Underground Utilities

If drilling in urban districts make sure of the positions of such underground utilities as gas
pipes, water pipes, sewage pipes and cables. If underground utilities are damaged get advises
from the managing company.
z If a gas pipe is damaged warn the workers around and instruct not to use naked flames.
z If you look at the cross section of a cut optical fiber cable, you might be blinded or your
eyes damaged.
Do not look at the cross section of an optical fiber cable.
1-2-1
Prevention of Fire
z If inflammables such as dry leaves and waste paper are
allowed to accumulate, they might cause a fire.
Clear any such inflammables from around engine and
compressor.
z Oil leakage might cause fire. Inspect the piping and
hoses in the fuel and hydraulic oil lines and immediately
repair or replace any non-conformity such as oil leakage
or hose degradation.

6. Feed Speed Adjusting Dial

This dial is used to adjust the drifter’s feed forward speed during drilling. When the feed speed is
slower than the drilling speed, idle blows tend to occur in the drifter. If idle blows occur in the drifter,
increase the feed speed. When the feed speed is too fast for the drilling speed, hole bend or jamming
may occur if the drill encounters soft rock, fracture zone, or hollow. Adjust the feed forward speed,
paying attention to changes in drilling sound and rotation pressure.
Loosen the lock screw. Turn the dial clockwise to increase the
drifter’s forward speed. Turn the dial counterclockwise to
decrease the drifter’s forward speed. After adjusting, tighten

by using the drifter impact force when the rod cannot be pulled out during drilling.
Anti-Jamming Position
Tilt the switch to ON, and the safety device (anti-jamming) operates.
It automatically moves backward, if an abnormal condition is detected during drilling. If the following
troubles are detected while the anti-jamming works, the drifter moves backward automatically.
The flushing air pressure has dropped due to a trouble of the compressor.
Flushing airflow has dropped due to stuffing of bit tip, etc.
Rod rotation pressure has increased abnormally due to thrust up to the fracture zone or a solid
zone.
RP Position (If Equipped)
RP (Reverse Percussion) uses drifter impact force to pull out the rod when the rod cannot be pulled
out during drilling.
★ RP (Reverse Percussion) is installed as an option when the machine is delivered from the factory.

Drilling Precautions
Beware with Blow Up of Cuttings

Check if cuttings are blows up by means of flushing air during drilling.
If the blowhole at the bit tip is stuffed, the flushing air pressure is increased.
If the blowout of the flushing air becomes weak, cuttings cannot be discharged normally to easily
result in hole stuffing and jamming.
★ When the anti-jamming switch (1) is set to ON position, the drifter moves backward automatically
when the flushing air pressure has dropped, or the airflow has dropped due to stuffing of bit tip.
176S210014
Clean the Drilling Hole

If the cuttings cannot be discharged normally or the flushing air pressure increases, stop the impact
and move the drifter up and down 2 – 3 times to clean the hole before re-starting drilling.
★ When the anti-jamming switch is set to ON position, the drifter is automatically stopped moving
forward if the rotation pressure is excessively increased.
Beware of Spring Water

If dirty water is collected, the filter element in the dust collector may be clogged and dust collection
degraded.
If spring water comes out during drilling, tilt the dust collector
switch (1) downward and stop the dust collector operation.
