When drilling in difficult location as lifters or side wall holes: do not operate the rotation and use
gently the feed forward then activate the MANUAL PERCUSSION.
STOP this process as soon as the bit has taken its place into the rock.
Use this process for few seconds only to place all the carbide inserts properly in contact to the rock.
When the bit has penetrated the rock, the collaring process is finished.
Re-centre the rod in the rod guide if necessary while the machine is still drilling.
5.6.3
DRILLING
According to drilling conditions, proceed drilling with water flushing.

Keep the rotation lever pushed DOWNWARD.
Push the feed thrust lever DOWNWARD to the MAXIMUM feed position.
NOTE: The feed forward movement stops if there is lack of air pressure or water flow.

CORRECTING DRILLING DIRECTION
CAUTION: Displacing the boom once the bit has penetrated the rock will create stress on the rod
guides, the articulations, and the cylinders. The only correction allowed is recentering the rod in the
rod guides.
Correction while drilling:
Using the feed extention lever, return the drill feed to allow the stinger to loose contact to the face.
Move the boom until the rod is recentered in the rod guides.
Use the feed extention forward until the drill feed is in contact with the face.
5.6.5
FEED RETURN
1 - MANUAL RETURN
Move the feed lever upward to activate the rock drills backward movement.
2 - AUTOMATIC RETURN (OPTIONAL)

If the automatic feed return is set active, at the electric control box, then, when the rock drill has
reached the end of the drill feed, an automatic device activates the return of the rock drill.
Leave the feed lever in position until complete rod retraction.
CAUTION: After complete retraction, do not forget to position the feed lever in the neutral position
(lever in upward position) before positioning the boom to drill the next hole to avoid oil overheating.
3 - ROD UNCOUPLING
Recommended procedure for uncoupling the bit or the shank adaptor.
Anchor the drill feed and then open the water circuit.
DO NOT USE THE ROTATION.
Using the Feed Lever, advance the rockdrill.
Move the Feed Lever to the MAXIMUM feed position. This allows the full percussion energy to be
activated for a better breaking capability.
5.6.6
MANUAL PERCUSSION
Push the manual percussion button at the electric control box.

Half energy percussion is activated.
It is possible to use the manual percussion and the feed control lever to advance or return.
CAUTION: When using manual percussion, most of the energy generated by the percussion is
absorbed by the rock drill itself, the front head and the carriage assembly. An excessive use of
manual percussion will result in rapid wear of the water flushing head, and premature breaking of
the shank.

DRILLING IMPERATIVES
The following rules guarantee optimum drilling performance, resulting in

high productivity at low operating costs.
The drilling tools must be in good operating condition.
Clearance Angle
1 - THE BIT
A correct clearance angle and proper water pressure, evacuate the cutting
as soon as they have been broken from the face.
CAUTION: Drilling with a worn bit results in an increase in rotation torque
and loss of penetration rate.
To increase productivity a worn bit should be replaced with a new or
resharpened one.
5.6.8
ENDING A SHIFT
When you stop the drilling process at the end of the shift or for any other reason, carry on following
operations:
Tilt the front end of the drill feed downward the stinger in contact to the ground.
Stop the powerpack
Close the water supply valve at the mine line
As to prevent the alternator to be damaged, stop the diesel engine prior to turn the battery master
switch to the "OFF" position.
Place the main electric breaker to the "OFF" position
Shut OFF the power at the mine electric box.
Wash the machine mainly the drill feed and the boom.
Fill-up the shift report form.
Report any defects that you have noticed.

TOWING THE MACHINE
DANGER
WARNING:THE MAXIMUM TOWING SPEED MUST BE 1 KM/H. This to prevent the

tramming component to be damaged and operator affect at drilling compartment.
THE USE OF CABLE OR CHAIN IS STRICTLY FORBIDEN. While towing, one
operator should be at the tramming compartment ready to apply the brake in a case
of emergency or operate the steering valve to allow the steering cylinder to move.
If it is necessary to tow the machine, comply to

the following procedure:
Ensure that the power supply from the mine
electric box to the machine is OFF.
Unplug the cable into the mine electric box.
Connect up the towing machine to the
towed machine with a RIGID BAR. Hook the
bar at the towing points located at the rear
of the machine (see the figure below).
CAUTION: Never try to tow the machine if Tramming pump
the multi-function HP valves, located on the
tramming pump (see figures below) are
tightened. The maximum towing distance
allowed is 1/2 km, over this distance the
hydraulic motor(s) could be damaged due to
lack in internal lubrication.

APPLICATION
DESCRIPTION
B 14 F boom is designed for Tamrock Quasar jumbos.
The x-y coordinated boom movements together with

360 actuator roll-over make the use of the boom simple
and logical. Accurate automatic parallel holding both in
vertical and horizontal plane improves the drilling
performance and accuracy.
B 14 F boom is a hydraulic universal roll-over boom for

mechanized tunnelling, drifting, cross-cutting and bolthole drilling in medium sections. It can also be used for
production drilling with cut-and-fill and room-and-pillar
methods.
This parallel holding boom offer large true rectangular
face coverage area.
Large dimensioned rectangular profile, large diameter

bearings, sealed main joints, expanding pins in cylinder
joints and use of super strong cast pieces in most
stressed areas are some of the features that are
included to the boom design for improved reliability.
