SAFE OPERATING PRACTICES FOR DRILLERS
Introduction
SANDVIK MINING and CONSTRUCTION drilling equipment is carefully designed, tested and manufactured. When
operated and serviced by trained and qualified personnel, this machine will give safe and reliable service. There are
SANDVIK MINING and CONSTRUCTION offices world-wide to answer questions concerning the safe operation and
maintenance of this equipment.
To minimize the risk of accidents and injuries, all persons involved in the operation and servicing of this machine MUST
read and understand the following safety precautions and the manuals developed for this machine.
While we believe that we have properly identified several potential hazards that could result in property damage or injury
or death to personnel, there are certain hazards which may be present that we have not contemplated. It therefore is
the responsibility of the drill owner, operator and crew to be certain that the drill is properly equipped and safe to operate
to assure accident free operation.
Management's Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of management to:
• See that all operators of this equipment are thoroughly trained (with special emphasis on safety), competent, physi-
cally fit and if required, licensed.
• Assign specific crew members specific safety responsibilities and instruct them how to report any unsafe conditions.
• Enforce the use of protective clothing, eye and hearing equipment.
• See that the operation and maintenance of this drill is in compliance with all Federal, State and local codes, regula-
tions and standards.
• Ensure that the work area is appropriately illuminated when drilling is performed at night.
• Maintain a complete first aid kit at the drill site. At least two members of the drilling crew or personnel in the area
where the drill is operated should be familiar with first aid and Cardiac Pulmonary Resuscitation.
• Contact the utility companies for the exact location of underground transmission lines in the drilling area.
The Operator’s Responsibilities

Safety must always be the operator's most important concern. The operator must refuse to operate the drill if an unsafe

condition exists. It is the responsibility of the drill operator to ensure that the drill is properly equipped, safe to operate
and that the site conditions make it possible for safe operation:
• The operator must see that all emergency stops, "operational aids" and "warning signals" are functional before oper-
ating.
• The operator must be alert, physically fit, and free from the
influences of drugs, alcohol and medications that might
impair eyesight, hearing or reactions
• The operator should not attempt to start, operate or service the drill unless he has been properly trained and read this
manual.
• The operator should not operate this equipment if any

of it's controls display a "lockout" tag.
• If an unsafe condition exists, the operator must place a

tag, identifying this condition, on the starting controls
and alert other potential users of the drill.
iv

• The operator should not operate the drill without first

checking that all personnel protection devices and
machinery guards are in place.
Operator's Safety Check

The operator must make a safety check before starting to work to ensure that the machine is in proper order for accident
free operation. Somethings to check are:
• Check that there are no "lockouts" or "tagouts" attached to the

controls.
• Check the machine log book to see that periodic maintenance

and inspections have been performed, and that all necessary
repairs have been made.
• After starting the engine, check all indicators, emergency stop,

trip devices and gauges for serviceability.
• Check the fire extinguisher(s) for charge and accessibility.
• Clean the cab interior windows if necessary.
• Test all controls for proper operation.
• Check access ladders and decking for damage and slipping hazards such as mud, oil or ice.
• At the end of the shift, the operator must properly secure the drill to prevent the machine from being operated by
unauthorized individuals.
• The operator must never permit personnel to ride on the machine except in the passenger compartment.
• The operator should treat all power lines as live.

Planning the Job
The person in charge must have a clear understanding of the work to be done and consider all the hazards at the site.
He must develop a plan to do the job safely and explain the plan to the crew members involved. Factors such as these
should be considered:
• Will the drilling take place in wet formations?
• Are there utility lines or structures that must be moved or avoided?
• Are there unusual or extreme weather conditions expected?
• Will drilling be done in night hours?
• Will the machine be propelled on inclines?
• Will drilling be done into difficult formations?
• Has a drilling pattern been developed?
• What is the required depth of the drilling pattern?
• Will special drilling tools be required to complete the job?
• Will vertical or angle drilling be required?

Operating Precautions
• Operating near or contacting a power line with any part of the

machine can result in electrocution.
Do not raise the drilling mast or operate the machine in the
vicinity of electrical power lines without checking the mini-
mum safe operating perimeter set by local, state or federal
regulations.
• Raising or lowering the mast, and drilling with an unsupported or unleveled machine can result in excessive structural
stress to the machine frames or can cause the machine to overturn.
Do not raise or lower the mast or attempt to drill until the machine is fully supported and leveled by the lev-
eling jacks.
• Drilling with an unlocked mast can result in excessive pressure at the mast raising cylinders causing the mast to fall.
Do not attempt to drill until the mast locking pins are fully engaged.
.
• Before leaving the operator's station, all controls must be in the

neutral position with all locking and safety devices engaged.
Do not allow the drill to operate unattended.
• Do not park or position the machine on grades that exceed the tilt
ratings.
Park or position the machine on level ground or across (hori-
zontal) grade
• Park or position the machine to allow the wind to carry engine exhaust fumes away from the operator.
Exhaust fumes from diesel engines are lethal.
Safe Operating Practices for Drillers vii

• Drill pipe that is free to slide through the opening in the top plate
could be released from the loader while traveling.
Before lowering the mast, index the loader to a position
such that the top plate of the loader prevents all drill pipe
from moving past the top plate
General Maintenance Safety Practices
While operating and servicing this machine be aware of the following:
• The sudden release of a pressurized lid or hose can spray hot

oil.
Do not open hydraulic tanks, air reservoirs or hydraulic
connections while the machine is running or the sys-
tems are under pressure.
• Before entering any enclosure, be sure that the door is secured open. Avoid entrapment, be sure that no one is
inside any enclosure before closing and latching the doors.
Enclosures can cause suffocation.
• Before starting any service or maintenance work, always perform a safety/risk analysis of the task.
Performing maintenance work without the proper tools and personal protection equipment can cause seri-
ous injury or death.
• Climbing the mast is a crushing and falling hazard.

Climbing the mast may cause serious injury or death. Stay off the mast at all times.
• Hydraulic oil under extreme pressure from a small opening

can penetrate the skin and inject oil into the body.
Do not attempt to locate a hydraulic leak by using your
hand.
• Pressure in hydraulic systems can be retained for long peri-

ods of time. If not properly released before maintenance
people attempt to work on the hydraulic system, this pres-
sure can let components move or cause hot oil to spray
and hose ends to shoot out at high speed.
Release system pressure before attempting to make
adjustments or repairs.
viii
11-06
• Carelessness in getting on and off equipment can result in seri-

ous injuries.
Always wait until the machine has completely stopped. Do
not jump on or off. Always use both hands and feet and
use the 3-point contact rule.
• Riding the rotary head up and down the mast is a crushing hazard.
Never ride the rotary head for any reason!!! It was not designed to be an elevator.
When there is a need for an operator or helper to work on the rig in the working area or danger zone and this work
involves activation of one or several machine functions, this work shall only be done under the following conditions:
a. There must be two safety trained people present, one should supervise the safety of the other doing the servicing.
Supervision should be done from the operator’s station to ensure immediate access to an emergency stop at all
times.
b. The area where the service work is to be done should be properly illuminated.
c. A reliable mode of communication should be establish between the servicing person and the supervisor.
d. The rig must be completely shut down and all methods of starting disabled before servicing work begins.
Fire Prevention
• Keep the machine clean of vegetation, coal dust and oily rags.
• Clean-up any oil and fuel spills particularly around hot surfaces
and heat producing components.
• Check the Fire Suppression System (FSS), if fitted, for damaged hoses or cylinders.
• Check all electrical lines and connections including battery terminals for a tight fit, wear, abrasion, and corrosion.
• Do not use the drilling machine in oil, gas or waterwell operations unless the well head is properly equipped with blow-
out preventers and safety equipment required by law or as recommended in the American Petroleum Institute's doc-
ument API 54.

• Check all machine ignition points (engine block, exhaust manifolds, mufflers, turbo-chargers, etc...) to make sure they
are not in contact with any hoses.
• Keep the batteries secured in their compartment and covered.
• Never inject ether or other starting aids into the engine and compressor intake filter(s). Ether or other aids drawn into
the compressor can cause an explosion.
• Do not store flammable fluids on or in the immediate vicinity of the machine.
• Engine oil, hydraulic fluid and compressor oil are flammable. Do not operate a machine with leaking or worn hoses or
lines.
• Do not clean washable filter elements with flammable solvents, diesel fuel, kerosene, or gasoline.
• Do not attempt to perform welding repairs until all flammable materials including oil and fuel spills oily rags, and rock
and coal dust, have been isolated or removed from the machine.
• Disconnect the battery cables before welding on the machine.
• Keep tools away from exposed live electrical parts such as terminals, to avoid arching.
• If charging the batteries, always turn the charger off before making or breaking connections to the battery.
• The compound (ethyl ether) used in the engine starting aid system is extremely flammable. Changing the cylinders
and servicing this system should be done in a well ventilated area. Do not store or install the cylinders in tempera-
tures above 160° F (71° C).
• The anti-freeze compound (methanol) used in the air line anti-ice systems is flammable. Refill the system with com-
pound only in well ventilated areas, away from heat, open flames and sparks. Do not store or expose this system or
the compound to temperatures above 150° F (65° C), or in direct sunlight.

INCLEMENT WEATHER and SAFE DRILLING PRACTICES
GENERAL
The following safety precautions were developed to minimize the risk of injury during inclement weather when using
Driltech drilling equipment.
All persons involved in the planning, operation and serving of Driltech equipment MUST read and understand the follow-
ing safety precautions, the manuals developed for this machine and the Safe Operating Practices outlined in the front of
this manual.
While we believe that we have properly identified several potential hazards that could result in property damage or per-
sonnel injury, there are certain hazards which may be present that we have not contemplated.
Bad weather conditions as they relate to this topic include lightning, thunderstorms and severe rainfall.
MANAGEMENT’S RESPOSIBILITIES
High winds, rainfall and cloud cover are often precursors to actual cloud to ground strikes notifying individuals to take
action. Many reported lightning accidents occur with sun, clear skies and no rain present at the beginning as the storm
approaches because; people ignore these precursors. Generally the lightning threat diminishes with time after the last
sound of thunder, but may persist for more than 30 minutes.
It is the responsibility of management to:
• Be aware of daily weather conditions within a 100 mile (161 Km) radius of the mine property.
• Determine a plan of action relating to expected bad or unexpected weather conditions.
• Notify equipment operators of impending storms. Communication to equipment operators may be given via two way
radio and/or in person.
• Consider that drill operators need ample time:
a. to retrieve drill pipe from blastholes and well bottom.
b. lower masts to a horizontal position or position feed rails into feed supports.
c. give the drill engine an adequate cool down period prior to shutting machine down.
d. leave machine cabin or operator platform and transport to central meeting location.
• Give equipment operators an all clear signal after the storm has cleared the area.
Note To Supervisors!
Recognize that equipment operators should be given adequate time to prepare the machine to move to specific loca-
tions for safe keeping. Crawler mounted drill machines have a maximum travel speed not exceeding 2.2 mph (3.5 kph).
RAINFALL AND FLOODING
When notified of an impending storm, machine operators should:
Safe Operating Practices for Drillers xi

11-06
•Move the drill machine to higher ground conditions.

Never leave a drill machine at the lowest floor position of
a mine or quarry or in a low lying ditch that could trap
water runoff.
•Move the drill machine to stable ground and away from

unstable crests or the face.
Never leave a drill machine on the front face of the drill
pattern while rain and severe weather pose a threat of
loose ground falls or washouts.
•When operating machines in a construction application, equipment operators shall move the drill machine to higher
stable ground.
Never leave a drill machine in any construction zone roadway, river bed or drainage ditch.
•Move the drill machine to stable ground away from high walls and any threat where rock or water erosion may
allow unstable ground to fall or slide.
THUNDERSTORMS AND LIGHTNING
A publication written in MSHA Holmes Safety Association Bulletin April 2001 gives a simple flash bang formula to calcu-
late lightning proximity.
The FLASH BANG method is determined by counting the seconds between the visible lightning and the sound of thun-
der. This delay in seconds when divided by 5 will give an approximate value in miles as to how close the active lightning
is to your worksite.
Example: when you see lightning and it takes (10) ten seconds to hear the thunder divide by (5) five. The approximate
distance of lightning proximity is 2 miles (3.2 km).
If the flash bang measurement is 30 seconds or less seek shelter immediately and remain indoors, away from electrical
devices, water and metal components.
Supervisors shall notify equipment operators in a timely manner. This is to allow the drill operator adequate time to per-
form the required operation principals needed and secure the machine in a safe manner.
• Equipment operators shall retrieve drill pipe from blastholes, secure drilling tools and lower mast to a horizontal
position into the mast rest supports.
Understand that the mast in a vertical position with drill pipe in the ground is capable of attracting high volt-
age lightning.
NOTE !
If the operator and machine are inside or near a blast area follow procedures written in USA Federal Metal and Non-
metal Mine safety Standards 30CFR 56/57/58 manual.
• Equipment operators shall move the machine to secure ground as noted in the rainfall and flooding description.
• Equipment operators shall give adequate engine cool down period prior to shutting machine down. Adequate
engine cool down periods range between 3 to 5 minutes.
Follow engine manufacture specifications as a standard.
xii
11-06
• Equipment operators shall secure the machine, close doors and windows, leave the machine cabin and dismount
the machine in a proper 3 point contact with the boarding ladder.
• Equipment operators shall drive or be transported to a central meeting location away from bad weather and storm
conditions.
There are exceptions to the rules when bad weather develops and time does not permit adequate machine preparation
- shutdown principals.
Exceptions
If you do get caught in an electircal storm and have little or no time to prepare, remember that, no place is absolutely
safe from the lightning threat, however, some places are safer than others.
When operators are inside a enclosed stable structure such as a machine cabin or the truck cab it is recommended that:
• all windows are closed
• all doors closed
• do not touch metal parts
• do not use two way radio communication
NOTE!
Wait inside the enclosed cab as long as it takes for the storm or lightning to subside. Do not attempt to dismount the
machine when lightning is in your immediate work area.
If lightning is present within a 20 mile (32 km) radius of your location be aware of your surroundings when outdoors.
Seek adequate shelter immediately.
If lightning is present within the 20 mile (32 km) radius, and a decision is made to dismount the machine, use a standard
3 point contact down the boarding ladder to dismount the machine.
Move away from the machine quickly and into a enclosed vehicle or adequate shelter. Maintain a distance greater than
100 yards (92 m) to prevent electrical draw in the event lightning did strike the mining equipment.
Static interference on AM radio channels is another indicator as to lightning proximity.
Lightning detectors are available aftermarket as a measuring instrument to determine lightning proximity. Blasting crews
are aware of lightning hazards and may have a lightning detector on site.
If you are caught in the open with lightning nearby and shelter is not available the safest position to be in is to be
crouched down on the balls of your feet. Keep your feet as close to one another as possible.
Do not allow your hands (or other body parts) to touch the ground. Use your hands to cover your ears and brace for a
loud thunderous bang.
Lightning struck victims carry no electrical charge and should be given first aid treatment immediately!
MACHINE MAINTENANCE
If lightning does strike a drill machine parked in any position (mast up or down) expect major component failures. A total
machine inspection is in order.
Safe Operating Practices for Drillers xiii

11-06
Electrical charge should dissipate immediately after impact.
Prior to climbing on board a machine known to have been struck by lightning use the back side of either hand (knuckle
side) to lightly touch the boarding ladder.

AIR COMPRESSOR LUBRICANT RECOMMENDATIONS
Driltech encourages the user to participate in an oil analysis program with the oil supplier. This
could result in an oil change interval differing from what is stated in these tables.
NOTE!
Mixing synthetic oils with an ATF may lead to operational problems, foaming, or plugging of orifices.
Do not mix different types of fluids.
