Checking the service brakes

1. Start the diesel engine.
2. Depress the brake pedal and hold it down.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Engage 2nd gear.
5. Gradually increase engine rpm to maximum.
6. Rigs with DC10 carrier have self-adjusting service brakes. If the rig moves during
inspection, this indicates that the brake discs require changing.
Note
Do not continue this check for longer than 4 seconds at most.
Checking the interlock circuit

The rig has an interlock circuit, which applies the parking brake if any of the follow-
ing should happen:
• Engine oil pressure falls below a certain value.

• Transmission oil pressure falls below a value.
• The hydraulic oil pressure in one of the brake circuits falls below a certain value.
• The limit switch for the cable reeling unit is activated (option).
The rig is equipped with a test button for checking the interlock circuit.

personal injury.
• Before tramming the rig again it is VITAL
that the gear selector is in Reverse
position, otherwise the cable is pulled
from its mounting.
37
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.

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 cyl-
inder is marked using a colour coded system where the colour of the cylinder corre-
sponds 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.

Checks
1. Check the oil level in the hydraulic oil reservoir and top up as necessary. See
maintenance instructions, Hydraulic systems: Changing oil.
2. Check the oil level in the lubricating oil tank and top up as necessary.
Setting up the rig

With each new setting-up of the rig it is essential that it is correctly aligned. See
Safety, Rig stability.
1. Manoeuvre the rig to the where drilling is to take place. Position it at right angles
to the centre of the tunnel face, parallel to the direction of drilling. It must be pos-
sible to manoeuvre the booms past the parts of the rock face that protrude the
most.
2. Set up the rig on its jacks. Start with the front jacks and then the rear jacks until the
rig is level (observe the spirit level in the cab).
Note
The following points are important to observe:
• The rig must be raised so that none of the wheels is in contact with the ground.
• The rig must be standing steadily while drilling to avoid disturbing the naviga-
tion.

2. Start the hydraulic pump with start button (S105).
3. Make sure that the selector lever (Lrb) for small/reaming holes is in the desired
position. Option.
4. Position the boom and feeder for drilling and apply the feeder dowel firmly
against the rock. See operator instructions, Boom handling.
5. Start water flushing with lever (Law). Make sure the valve is fully open.
6. Start rotation drilling (rotation left) by moving the lever (Lr) forward.
7. Collaring: Start low percussion pressure by moving lever (Lh) to the centre posi-
tion. At the same time, start forward feed by moving lever (Lf) forward. A low
feed force is automatically attained.
8. Full drilling: Start high percussion pressure by moving lever (Lh) to its foremost
position once the drill bit has entered the rock. A high feed force is automatically
selected.
9. Once a hole is drilled, the percussion unit is automatically switched off and
reverse feed is automatically engaged. When the rock drill has reached its rear end
position, move the rotation lever (Lr) and feed lever (Lf) to their neutral positions.
10. Switch off water flushing with lever (Law).
11. Repeat steps 4 to 10 above for the next hole.
Cease drilling
Stop the drilling by moving the drilling levers to neutral position.
In the event of drill jam

On rock drills equipped with extraction unit (COP 1838 MEX) this must be started as
follows:
1. Activate feed reverse by moving the feed lever (Lf) backwards.
2. Start collaring by setting the percussion lever (Lh) in collaring position.
Important points to consider when using the extraction unit.
• The extraction unit must not be used as an aid for example

- To drill with inadequate flushing agent.
- To drill with such a feed force etc. that there is a risk of repeated drill jams
(applies in particular with poor rock conditions).
52
9. Drilling
• When using the release function, the front section of the rock drill heats up rap-
idly. 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 equip-
ment. Avoid using rotation together with the release function as the rod joints are
tightened very tight!
Air blowing of drilled hole, option

1. Stop the feed and rotation when finished drilling a hole.
2. Blow the hole clean for 5-10 seconds by moving the lever (Law) to is rearmost
position.
3. Once air flushing is finished, move the rock drill back to its rear end position with
control lever (Lf).
4. Position for the next hole and perform a new collaring.

2. Always be observant for any water leaks from the rock drill.
3. See maintenance schedule, Rock drill.
System
1. Make sure there are no fault indicator lamps on the electric cabinet. Attempt to
rectify any faults or call for service personnel.
2. Check the pressure gauges on the operator panel. If they suddenly show abnormal
values, the drilling must be stopped immediately and the cause investigated.
3. Check the oil level in the hydraulic oil reservoir and top up as necessary. See
maintenance instructions, Hydraulic systems: Changing oil.
4. Check the temperature of the hydraulic oil on the thermometer on the hydraulic oil
tank. The temperature should be 30-60°C during continuous drilling.

Hoses and couplings

1. Make sure the percussion hoses to the rock drill do not vibrate abnormally. Vibrat-
ing 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 cou-
plings and hoses.
Settings
Feed pressure
Setting feed pressure

The feed pressure must be adjusted to the drill bit diameter, bit type, percussion pres-
sure, 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 pres-
sure 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).
56
9. Drilling
Feed pressure for collaring

1. The percussion lever (Lh) must be at the middle position (low percussion pres-
sure) 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).

Introduction
The telescope feeder operates in two steps. Step 1 (lower cylinder) moves both beams
from fully extended position to fully contracted position. Step 2 (upper cylinder)
feeds the rock drill cradle forward on the upper beam.
1250 0072 80
Figure: Two-step operation of telescope feeder
The feed pressure during step 2 (upper cylinder) must be approx. 45 bar lower than
the feed pressure during step 1 (lower cylinder). This lower pressure is regulated by
pressure control valve (V8) and does not normally require adjustment.

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 fol-
lowing 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 pres-
sure 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
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 anti-
jamming 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).
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
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.

between two drill rods can pass without obstruction.
3. Select the extension drilling function with the drilling/joining lever to prevent
automatic rock drill return.
Drilling and extension

1. Drill in the first rod.
Note
Open the drill-steel support with the lever for the hydraulic drill-steel support
before the join between the drill rod and the shank adapter reaches the drill-steel
support.
2. Hammer towards the bottom of the hole to separate the drill rod from the shank
adapter.
3. Make sure the threaded joint is located in the drill-steel support.
4. Close the drill-steel support with the lever for the hydraulic drill-steel support.
5. Unscrew the shank adapter from the drill rod by activating reverse feed with the
threading/extension drilling lever and right rotation with the rotation lever.
6. Reverse the rock drill with the feed lever so that there is room to screw on a new
rod.
7. Turn off the hydraulic pumps.
8. Screw together the new drill rod by hand with the drill rod that was drilled into the
rock.
68
9. Start the hydraulic pumps and move the rock drill forwards with the feed lever so
that the shank adapter comes as close as possible to the drill rod join.
11. Screw together the drill rod by hand with the shank adapter.
12. Start the hydraulic pumps and tighten the joins by activating forward feed with the
feed/extension drilling lever and left rotation with the rotation lever.
13. Open the drill-steel support with the hydraulic drill-steel support lever.
14. Start drilling.
15. Repeat steps 3 - 13 for each new drill rod to be added.
Removing drilling rods

1. Make sure the drill-steel support is open.
2. Hammer towards the bottom of the hole to loosen the joins.
3. Make sure the front join on the last drill rod is located in the drill-steel support.
4. Close the drill-steel support with the lever for the hydraulic drill-steel support.
5. Unscrew one of the drill road joins completely by activating reverse feed with the
feed/extension drilling lever and right rotation with the rotation lever.
7. Unscrew the other end of the drill rod by hand.
8. Start the hydraulic pumps and move the rock drill to the drill-steel support.
9. Screw the shank adapter to the next drill rod by activating forward feed with the
feed/extension drilling lever and left rotation with the rotation lever.
Note
Do not screw together too tightly so the join cannot be unscrewed. The last drill
rod must be screwed tight however.
10. Open the drill-steel support with the hydraulic drill-steel support lever.
11. Repeat steps 3 - 10 with the remaining drill rods.

11. Directional control
FAM
Directional control FAM (Feed Angle Measurement) is available in two designs:
• FAM I with angle indication

• FAM II with angle indication and hole depth measurement
Angle indication involves measurement and indication of the feeder's direction. The
system calculates the deviation from the defined reference direction, which the
feeder's direction should give with a full depth drilled hole. The deviation is pre-
sented in cm.
For the system to present the correct values, the user must specify a reference direc-
tion and a length for a full depth drilled hole (not drill steel length).
The system also shows instantaneously the attained hole depth when drilling, if
equipped with hole depth measurement

5 Vertical deviation
6 Feed direction
7 Measured hole depth
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 direc-
tion, the hole will end up in the centre of the target. Otherwise, there will be a devia-
tion 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).

Change the value for the maximum hole depth as follows:
• Display the menu for setting the maximum hole depth.

• Place the cursor on the box with the numeric value and press Enter.
• Use the right and left arrow keys to place the cursor over the digit (ones, tens or
hundreds) that is to be changed.
• Change the value with arrow up (increase value) or arrow down (decrease value).
• When the entire value (all three digits) is correct, press ENTER for the system to
save the new value.
Reference direction
There are two alternatives for reference direction, Rig and Tunnel .
Rig
Rig means that the longitudinal axis of the rig will be used as reference direction.
80
1250 0155 65

If the rig symbol is displayed in the working menu, then the Rig reference direction
is selected. The system will then show the direction of the feeder in relation to the
longitudinal direction of the rig.
This alternative can be used when it is possible to set up the rig in alignment with the
drilling direction.
81
Tunnel
The Tunnel alternative requires a user-defined reference direction. This can be used
when the rig cannot be set up straight.
1250 0155 66

12. Shift control, option
APC 50 (Automatic Powershift Control
Description of operation
The APC 50 shift control is used to prevent incorrect downshifting and changes in
direction of travel that otherwise could damage the transmission.
Speed reduction must be done by releasing the accelerator and using the service
brakes. Reducing speed by downshifting can damage the transmission and is there-
fore prevented with APC 50.
The direction of travel, from forwards to reverse or from reverse to forwards, may
only be changed while the rig is stationary. Changing the direction of travel while the
rig is in motion can damage the transmission and is therefore prevented by APC 50.
Changes in the direction of travel and downshifting can be done at the following
approximate speeds.
Table: Speed limits for downshifting and changing direction of travel

Shifting procedure Speed limit
3rd gear - 2nd gear 9 km/h
2nd gear - 1st gear 5 km/h
1st gear - Neutral 3 km/h
Changing direction of travel 0 km/h
When attempting to downshift or change direction of travel at the wrong speed, the
right-hand point of the display will flash to make the driver aware that this measure is
not allowed and will therefore be prevented by APC 50.
Every attempt to make a forbidden gearchange is registered by APC 50 and is saved

in its internal memory.
