Safety
WARNING
Tipping risk. May cause serious personal injury. The gear selector must never be moved to neutral position when tramming uphill or downhill. Always turn the rig on level ground. The boom must never be swung out more than necessary during operation. Do not swing out the booms to the side during tramming on cambers or sloping track. The boom and feeder must always be positioned back at transport position if they have been temporarily swung out for narrow passageways. The cab must be fully lowered on rigs equipped with cab lift.
1. Select the direction of travel and gear with the gear selector. Note Select a gear based on the driving conditions. Up and downshifts can be made while travelling if the diesel engine speed is adapted accordingly. 2. Release the parking brake. 3. Depress the accelerator and adjust your speed to the terrain. 4. Check the warning lamps while driving. It is essential that faults are detected early on so that consequential damage is avoided. Report faults to maintenance personnel. Note For rigs equipped with APC 50 gear monitor (option), see operator's instructions, Gear monitor.

Operators instructions
7. Repositioning
Unwinding the cable 1. Check that the electric cable is firmly secured to the wall. 2. Run the rig forwards. The cable will unreel through slipping of the cable reeling unit's clutch. The cable can also be run out manually: a. Set the positioning lever to the positioning mode. b. Set the lever for the cable reeling unit to the out position. Note Bear in mind that the cable can easily become tangled. c. Set the lever for the cable reeling unit to neutral position. d. Set the lever for positioning to neutral position. 3. If the cable reeling unit has the optional limit switch kit, the parking brake can be applied and the engine switched off when the cable is unreeled. The purpose of the limit switch is to prevent damage to the cable. An indicator lamp comes on when there are three turns of cable left on the cable drum. When there is one turn left, the parking brake is applied and the diesel engine stopped. Reeling in the cable 1. Check that the cable is properly secured. 2. Set the positioning lever to the positioning mode. 3. Set the lever for the cable reeling unit to in position. 4. Reverse the rig and the cable is wound up on the cable reeling unit. 5. Stop the rig when there is a little cable left. 6. Set the lever for the cable reeling unit to neutral position. 7. Set the lever for positioning to neutral position. 8. For better control, wind up the last section using the dual command on the back of the rig. This only works if the rig is equipped with the dual command option for the cable reeling unit.

The control levers are direct-acting. The boom has hydraulic parallel holding of the feeder, which means that all the holes can be drilled parallel to each other. Each cylinder is marked using a colour coded system where the colour of the cylinder corresponds with the colour marking on the lever that controls it. This simplifies learning and makes it easier to directly select the correct direction for each lever. The speed of the cylinders is proportional to the travel of the levers, which makes controlling the boom smooth and adaptive.

9. Drilling
When using the release function, the front section of the rock drill heats up rapidly. For this reason, use the extraction unit for short periods, max. 30 seconds, and then allow the rock drill to cool down for at least 30 seconds as follows - Active feed reverse, so that the oil can circulate through the extraction unit. - If possible, activate flushing in order to cool the front section of the rock drill. The release function must only be used with high percussion pressure as a last resort to loosen jammed rods as it involves major stresses on the drilling equipment. Avoid using rotation together with the release function as the rod joints are tightened very tight!
WARNING
Moving parts. Risk of personal injury, clothes can be trapped. Switch off the rock drill rotation when changing drill bits. Switch off hydraulic pumps if the operator's panel is left unmanned.
Changing drill bit against rock face N.B. Never start percussion with the drill bit free without any resistance.

Figure: Lubricating oil tank Hoses and couplings 1. Make sure the percussion hoses to the rock drill do not vibrate abnormally. Vibrating hoses indicate malfunctioning accumulators on the rock drill. Stop drilling immediately and check or replace the accumulator. See maintenance instructions, Rock drill. 2. Ensure the hoses do not get trapped or jammed. 3. Make sure there are no leaks in hoses or couplings. Tighten or change leaking couplings and hoses.
Settings
Feed pressure Setting feed pressure The feed pressure must be adjusted to the drill bit diameter, bit type, percussion pressure, rock conditions, etc. It must be set so that the threaded joints of the drilling equipment do not come loose, causing abnormal wear or damage. Nor must the pressure be set too high, subjecting the drill rod to abnormal loads or increasing the risk of jamming. When drilling in loose rock, it may be necessary to reduce the percussion pressure so that the feeder's maximum feed pressure is not exceeded. Note The RPCF valve (V1a) must be disengaged while the feed pressure is adjusted. This is done by screwing the RPCF valve (V1a) clockwise as far as it will go. If the rig is equipped with a special reaming kit (option), there will be an RPCF valve for reaming (V1b). This must also be disengaged while the feed pressure is adjusted. (V1b) is to be disengaged in the same way as valve (V1a).

Feed pressure for collaring 1. The percussion lever (Lh) must be at the middle position (low percussion pressure) and the feed lever (Lf) must be at its forward position. 2. Undo the lock nut used for valve (Vfl). 3. Adjust the feed pressure for collaring on the valve (Vfl) with an Allen key. The pressure should be 35 bar for the DCS12 drilling system and 40 bar for the DCS 14 and 18 drilling systems. 4. The pressure can be read on the feed pressure gauge (Gf). 5. Tighten the lock nut used for valve (Vfl). Feed pressure for full drilling 1. If the rig is equipped with a special reaming hole kit (option), make sure that lever (Lrb) is at the small hole position. 2. Loosen the lock knob used for valve (Vfh). 3. Regulate the feed pressure for full drilling by means of the setting knob for pressure control valve (Vfh). Turning the setting knob clockwise increases the feed pressure. 4. Read the pressure from pressure gauge (Gf). 5. Tighten the lock knob. Note If the characteristic of the rock varies, the feed pressure for full drilling may need to be adjusted.

Figure: Detail of valve (V8) and (V17) Anti-jamming protection Description There are two types of anti-jamming protection: RPCF (feed control) Return movement of the feeder, usually simply called anti-jamming The anti-jamming protection features are integrated and therefore interact. The following is an example to show what happens when the protection is activated and what the result is. If the drill bit tends to jam in the hole due to e.g. joints in the rock, the rotation pressure will start to increase and the feed pressure to drop successively to around 40 bar. If rotation pressure continues to rise, the feed will change direction and the rock drill will return. As the rotation pressure subsequently drops, the rock drill will change direction once more. If the drill bit still tends to jam, this procedure will continue until the bit has passed through the joint in the rock. RPCF feed control RPCF (Rotation Pressure Controlled Feed) is an anti-jamming device that is engaged in the following circumstances: The drill bit tends to jam in the rock Rotation pressure increases Broken/worn drill bit Low hydraulic oil temperature
61
Operators instructions
9. Drilling
When RPCF is activated, the feed pressure will gradually drop until it almost reaches zero. Feed (rock drill) return movement When RPCF is activated and if the rotation pressure still rises then the second antijamming device will engage. This means that the feed will change direction and the rock drill will reverse. When the rotation pressure then decreases the rock drill changes direction again and moves forwards. Setting the anti-jamming protection
General
When adjusting the anti-jamming protection, the following settings must be made in order: Setting the feed return movement Setting RPCF, small hole Setting RPCF, reaming hole (if the optional reaming hole kit is installed) When the RPCF is to be set, there are two ways to proceed: Setting RPCF during drilling Setting RPCF in a workshop Setting the feed return movement Note The hydraulic oil must be at normal operating temperature before setting. Valve (Vaj) must be used to set the rotation pressure at which the rock drill is to change direction. 1. Check the rotation pressure during normal drilling. The rotation pressure can be read on pressure gauge (Gr). 2. Connect a pressure gauge to pressure test outlet (G3). 3. Undo the lock nut used for valve (Vaj). 4. Adjust the set screw to 30-40 bar above the normal rotation pressure. Read the pressure from a pressure gauge connected to pressure test outlet (G3). If the valve is adjusted too low, the rock drill will change direction too early. If the valve is adjusted too high, the rock drill will not change direction and the risk of jamming will increase.
62
Operators instructions
9. Drilling
5. Tighten the lock nut. 6. Now set RPCF before making any further settings. Setting RPCF during drilling Note The hydraulic oil must be at normal operating temperature before setting. Normal rotation pressure settings for drilling are 35-50 bar for small holes and 40-50 bar for reaming holes. If the pressure rises above normal, there is risk that the drill steel will jam. The RPCF valve must therefore be activated if the normal rotation pressure rises by about 20 bar during drilling. Valve (V1a) affects the rotation pressure at which the feed pressure will start to be reduced for a small hole drill bit. Valve (V1b) affects the rotation pressure at which the feed pressure will start to be reduced for a reaming hole drill bit. 1. If the rig is equipped with a reaming kit (option), make sure that lever (Lrb) is in the correct position. 2. Find some homogeneous rock in the area being drilled. 3. Screw in the adjusting screw used for the RPCF valve all the way. 4. Collar the hole firmly and proceed to full drilling at a suitable feed pressure. 5. Read the rotation pressure on the pressure gauge (Gr). 6. Screw out the adjusting screw used for the RPCF valve until the feed pressure starts to drop. 7. Screw in the adjusting screw used for the RPCF valve about one turn. One turn corresponds to about 20 bar of rotation pressure. A 20 bar increase in the normal rotation pressure is needed during full drilling before the RPCF function will start to reduce the feed pressure. 8. Tighten the RPCF valve lock nut.

The feed direction is shown graphically in the form of a target where the bull's-eye represents the starting point of the hole. The target shows where the hole finishes up in the bottom of the blast. If the feeder is directed according to the reference direction, the hole will end up in the centre of the target. Otherwise, there will be a deviation that is indicated with a line (6). According to the figure above, the hole will deviate about 7 cm both vertically and horizontally. The angle display will always be based on drilling the maximum depth of hole, i.e. according to the value at (4). Maximum hole depth must therefore be set before angle display will work. The type of reference direction must also be chosen (3). If the rig symbol is chosen, the system will use a predefined reference direction, i.e. the rig's longitudinal axis. If the tunnel symbol is chosen instead, an optional reference direction can be defined. If the hole depth measurement option has been chosen, the measured hole depth will be displayed (7). This also means it is possible to zero hole depth measurement (1).
