OPERATOR’S MANUAL Tiger DG700
2.6.4. Isolation and energy dissipation

WARNING
HAZARDOUS STORED ENERGY!
This machine contains stored energy in various forms. The
energy could cause unexpected consequences, death or severe
injuries, if not dealt with properly.
Before any maintenance or service work, make sure any stored
energy is released.
Leave maintenance work to professionals. Follow applicable
instructions.

Any instructions given in laws and regulations, any orders given by local authorities, and all
protective measures must be strictly adhered to. Maintenance and repair work on the pressurized
systems may only be carried out by persons who have received the training required for the work.
Do not start work that is not fully familiar to you.

Hydraulic system isolation

WARNING! HAZARDOUS STORED ENERGY!


There may still be pressure remaining in the system even when
the gauges show 0 bar.
Proceed with caution when working with hydraulic systems.
Use approved personal protective equipment.

When the machine is switched off, be aware that there is still stored pressure in the hydraulic
system. The hydraulic system can store pressure in machine components which are supported by
the hydraulic system. All major machine assemblies should be lowered to the ground or supported
to isolate any hydraulic energy.
In spite of these precautionary measures, some of the hydraulic system's subsystems may still be
pressurized (e.g. boom circuit, rod handler circuit). Always use approved personal protective
equipment and proceed with caution.

Pneumatic system isolation

If the air system is equipped with an open-type 2/2- directional valve, it automatically releases the
pressure from the air system when the compressor and power pack are switched off. If the air
system is equipped with air receivers, it will take longer to depressurize the system. In spite of these
precautionary measures, the system may include some subsystems, from which pressure has not
been released (e.g. compressor intake valve's pressure accumulator will remain pressurized, even
if pressure is released from the pneumatic circuit). When performing any maintenance or repair
work, always use approved personal protective equipment. Proceed with caution and comply with
all safety requirements.

42 (200) Copyright © Sandvik Mining and Construction


Tiger DG700 OPERATOR’S MANUAL

Fuel system isolation

Isolate the fuel system by shutting the valves on the fuel tank. This will prevent any environmental
contamination during maintenance.

Electrical system isolation

Before performing any maintenance work, always ensure that the batteries are disconnected from
the electrical system by the main switch. Make sure that the machine cannot be started accidentally.
In spite of these precautionary measures, parts of the electrical system still have electricity. When
performing any maintenance or repair work, always use approved personal protective equipment.
Proceed with caution and comply with all safety requirements.

2.7. Fire risk control measures

WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD!
An explosion hazard could exist in addition to the fire hazard.
Ignition sources like smoking, open flames, welding work and
sparks together with combustible materials like fuel, can cause
fire and if not avoided, could lead to death or severe injury.
Ignition sources are prohibited in the vicinity of the machine
ready for operation or in operation.
During maintenance appropriate fire prevention and protection
measures must be followed including but not limited to trained
personnel, proper fire extinguishing equipment and agents.
Before any maintenance or repairs requiring ignition sources
like welding or flame cutting, a proper risk assessment must be
carried out prior to the start of the work to control the risk.

Smoking and open fire are prohibited in the vicinity of the product. Access to all fire-fighting
equipment must be granted at all times, especially during maintenance and repair works. All fire-
fighting equipment must be inspected and serviced regularly, according to local regulations.
Damaged fire-fighting equipment and used fire extinguishers must be replaced immediately.

Know the various types of fires and the appropriate fire-fighting methods. Be aware that various
fires must not be extinguished with water. In most cases special extinguishing agents, dry powders
or deoxygenating are required.
All personnel must be trained regularly in fire-fighting methods, in cooperation with local authorities
and rescue organizations. In case of fire, the fire alarm must be activated and all available
personnel must contribute in the fire-fighting according to the predetermined fire plan of the
workplace.

OPERATOR’S MANUAL Tiger DG700
2.7.1. In case of fire

Fight the fire as follows:

1.Stop the machine safely.


2.Press the nearest emergency stop.
3.Use a hand-held fire extinguisher, if possible.
4.Turn the main switch into the OFF-position.
5.Be prepared with a hand-held fire extinguisher to fight any new fire pockets.

2.7.2. Fire prevention

Fires in any environment are extremely dangerous and can quickly get out of control if not properly
dealt with.

The following recommendations will help prevent the likelihood of a fire on the machine:

- Always keep the machine and general area clean of flammable materials such as fluids and
lubricants, dirt and debris, and any material that could cause or amplify fire. Clean all fuel or oil
spills as quickly as possible.
- Report all electrical wiring and electrical component malfunctions to a service personnel
immediately.
- Ensure that the engine air intake, fuel and exhaust systems are maintained properly.
- Inspect the machine regularly for hydraulic and oil leaks.
- Ensure that you are aware of and are familiar with all firefighting equipment on the machine. Also
ensure that all firefighting equipment is inspected regularly and kept in working order. If the
machine does not have any firefighting equipment, ensure that required firefighting equipment is
available.

2.7.3. Fire retardant and flammable materials

The machine fire safety has been taken into consideration during product engineering and
manufacturing. When possible, fire retardant materials have been chosen to improve fire safety.
Examples of these measures and material choices to prevent and control fires are the following:

- Cables used are in compliance with the IEC 60332-1 standard (Test on electric and optical fibre
cables under fire conditions).
- Surface materials of the hydraulic hoses are MSHA approved and their inner tubes are made of
nitrile-rubber.
In spite of engineering and use of fire retardant materials, there are also flammable materials in the
machine e.g. inside electrical cabinets, in valves, plastic components and batteries. Also oils,
greases and paints used in the machine are flammable materials. Keep the machine clean at all
times; dirt in the machine increases fire risk.

2.8. Protection against emission hazards

2.8.1. Noise

DANGER

NOISE HAZARD!
Noise level emitted by the machine exceeds 80 dB(A).
Continuous exposure to noise will cause hearing impairment.
Always wear approved hearing protection.

Measured sound levels

The sound pressure level and volume measurements in the operator station have been performed
according to the European Standard EN 791 Drill Rigs - Safety.

-Sound pressure level at the operator’s position LpA 85 dB, (ISO 11201 - 1995)
-Sound power level emitted by the machinery (when drilling) LwA 122 dB, (ISO 4875 - 1978)
The estimated uncertainty for determination of A-weighted sound pressure levels and sound power
levels (standard deviation of the reproducibility of the measurements) is 2.5 dB.

2.8.2. Vibration

The whole-body vibration during drilling does not exceed 0.5 m/s² *, when tested according to the
European Standard EN 791 Drill Rigs - Safety.

* the highest root mean square value of weighted acceleration

2.8.3. Dust

DANGER

DUST HAZARD!
Breathing dust will cause death or severe injury.
Always wear approved respirator.
Make sure the dust suppression system in your equipment is
working properly.

Breathing or inhaling dust particles will cause death or severe injury. Always work with a respirator
approved by the respirator manufacturer for the job you are doing. It is essential that the respirator
that you use protects you from the tiny dust particles which cause silicosis and which may cause
other serious lung diseases. You should not use the product until you are sure your respirator is
working properly. This means the respirator must be checked to make sure that it is clean, that its

Copyright © Sandvik Mining and Construction 49 (200)


OPERATOR’S MANUAL Tiger DG700
filter has been changed, and to otherwise make sure the respirator will protect you in the way it is
meant to.

In any workplace where respirators are necessary to protect the health of the employee, the
employer must establish and implement a written respiratory protection program with work site
specific procedures and elements including but not limited to the selection of respirators, proper
usage, maintenance and care, cleaning and disinfecting and training.

Make sure the dust suppression system in your equipment is working properly. If the dust
suppression system is not working properly, stop working immediately. Regularly clean your
working environment properly to minimize the dust level in the air. Always make sure dust has been
cleaned off your boots and clothes when you leave your shift.
Respiratory silica dust is a hazard, which requires special attention. The smallest particles of dust
are the most harmful. They may be so fine that you cannot see them. Remember, you must protect
yourself from the danger of breathing or inhaling dust.

Dust collector system

Make sure that the dust collector system functions well and effectively at all times. Make sure that

- The suction head is firmly against the ground during drilling.


- The suction head and the suction head rubbers are in good condition.
- The suction hoses are in good condition and tight.
- The dust collector filters are in good condition. Use only original spare parts.
- The daily and other periodic checks and maintenance must be carried out according to the
instructions.
Using the correct drilling parameters and keeping the drilling equipment in good condition reduces
the amount of dust created.

2.9. Emergency procedures

It is the employer's responsibility to plan and prepare site specific instructions to be followed in case
of an emergency or an accident. The machine manufacturer can also give certain general
guidelines which can be used as help in establishing the required procedures. The following
information should be considered when devising a site specific emergency plan. This list is not
meant to be comprehensive.
- Emergency stop: If the machine has to be stopped immediately, use the emergency stop
functions. Emergency stopping stops all the ongoing functions. For more information, see the
section, "Emergency stop function".
- Emergency exit: In an emergency situation, use the safest escape way or emergency exit. Also
rescue personnel can use these exits to reach a user in the operator station. For more information,
see the section, “Emergency exit”.
- Loss of stability: If there is sudden loss of stability during tramming, the safest place for the user
is usually inside operator station, seated on the operator seat and seat belt fastened.
- Falling objects: In case of falling objects, the operator should stay inside operator station until it is
safe to leave the machine. The operator may also, when possible, move the machine away from
the hazard zone, without leaving the operator station.
- Fire: In mining conditions, it is extremely important to avoid fires. If an accident does happen and
there is a fire, it has to be extinguished as soon as possible. For more information, see the section,
“Fire risk control measures”.

Tiger DG700 OPERATOR’S MANUAL

- Accidents with chemicals: In an emergency situation or accident where chemicals are involved,
see the required first aid measures and instructions in the material safety data sheets which have
been delivered with the machine manuals.
- Electric accidents: If the machine touches an electric power line, the following instructions may
prevent injuries or death.
-If you are standing outside the machine, do not touch any part of the machine or try to get
onto the machine. Keep everybody away from the machine.
-If you are on the machine, do not try to get off it. If the machine is touching a power line,
the machine can catch on fire. If the machine has rubber tires, leave the machine as soon
as the tires start smoking. JUMP OUT! Do not make yourself a conductor for the electric
current to flow from the machine to the ground. Move away from the machine by jumping,
or by leaping so that only one foot at a time touches the ground. The electric field in the
ground can cause a dangerously high voltage between your legs. You will not be in safety
until you are about 20 meters away from the machine.
-If the boom or some other component of the machine touches an electric power line, the
whole machine becomes live. Although the insulating rubber tires may make the situation
seem safe, a person standing on the ground and touching the machine can get a fatal
electric shock.
-If you come to a place where an electric accident has taken place, do not risk your own life
by acting incautiously to save others. Try to find out whether a high or a low voltage is
involved. Where high voltage is involved, do not start any rescuing attempts until the
power company has cut off the voltage. It can be dangerous even to approach a person in
contact with the electric conductor, or with the machine that touches the conductor.
Remember that high voltage power lines have no fuses that blow; the conductors are
always dangerous, until a qualified electrician has made them dead.
-If a person is in contact with a low voltage line or with a machine that is touching a low
voltage line, rescuing can be attempted by using a dry and clean rope, or a dry and
unpainted piece of wood. Anyone who is attempting the rescue must keep as far away
from the victim as possible. The victim must not be touched until he is completely
disconnected from the live components. If the victim is unconscious, first aid measures
must be started immediately.
- After an accident or emergency situation: Being on site where an incident has occurred, do not
take any actions with the equipment involved. Do not speculate or give opinions on the cause.
Contact your Sandvik representative to get more information.

2.10. Safety considerations for maintenance

Before carrying out any maintenance, read and understand the maintenance instructions. Make
sure that you have all the required training, skills and authorization before starting any maintenance
work. The maintenance instructions support the maintenance personnel to perform the preventive
maintenance for the product. The maintenance instructions also provide information for the
maintenance and operating personnel on scheduled mechanical inspections of components and

54 (200) Copyright © Sandvik Mining and Construction


Tiger DG700 OPERATOR’S MANUAL

Information on chemical safety can be found in material safety data sheets and chemical technical
data sheets. These data sheets are included in the maintenance manual as an appendix and they
cover all the factory filled oils, lubricants and coolants of the machine in normal conditions. Material
safety data sheets include detailed instructions on chemical safety and give information, for
example, on identification of the substance, hazards related to the substance, substance properties,
first aid measures, firefighting measures, personal protection measures, toxicological information,
environmental information and information on storage, transportation and disposal.

After the drainage is completed, the recyclable parts can be separated from the machine.

2.11.3. Disposal

This section gives useful advice to identify which parts of the product are recoverable, with a view to
recycling or reusing the materials or components for new applications. To ensure environmentally
sound treatment of a product and all of its components, the recovery issues are already taken into
account during the design phase of the product. Correct handling of waste materials reduces costs
and promotes the best use of the components and materials.

- Machine body: All the steel constructions and the copper and aluminum in the electrical wiring are
recyclable. The metals can be melted and used as raw material for new products, except for parts
that have been in contact with substances that are regarded as hazardous waste. The
contaminated parts can usually be simply cleaned or rinsed, after which they can be recycled.
- Plastic: Most plastic parts are recyclable, similarly to the metals. Each plastic part carries
information on the material used and a manufacturing date, which can be used for determining
whether the part can be recycled.
- Rubber parts and tires: Tires can be recycled, and used as recovered material. Worn-out tires
can be returned to the dealer from whom they were originally bought. Rubber tubes and hoses
must be cleaned before they are disposed of.
- Glass: Glass can be recycled, as well as laminated glass such as windshields and windows.
Various types of glasses shall be sorted according to local rules and regulations.
- Electrical and electronic waste: Electrical and electronic components contain valuable and
recyclable materials, in addition to a set of chemicals and heavy metals. Electrical components
that are classified as hazardous waste (accumulators, batteries, circuit boards) and other
hazardous waste must be delivered to a licensed waste treatment location or be disposed of
according to local regulations. Never dump hazardous electrical or electronic waste.
- Gas discharge / xenon lamps: Gas discharge lamps contain mercury and are hazardous waste.
They must not be dumped. Lamps must be taken care of by an authorized hazardous waste
disposal company.
- Air conditioning units: Air conditioning units, which contain CFC and HCFC compounds, must
always be delivered for treatment to a licensed waste disposal facility.
- Batteries: Batteries are classified as environmentally hazardous material and require special
handling and storing in accordance with applicable ordinances, rules and regulations. Batteries
can cause serious harm to the ecosystem; lead in the batteries is highly toxic and it accumulates in
the body over time. The disposal shall be taken care of by an authorized waste disposal company.
According to producer responsibility, producers of batteries and accumulators are also responsible
to accomplish the waste management of batteries that they have placed on the market. Batteries
also contain diluted sulphuric acid. The acid is extremely corrosive and it burns skin, eats holes in
clothing, and can cause blindness if it gets in the eyes. If you get battery acid on your skin, or
clothes, rinse them immediately with water. Use sodium bicarbonate to neutralize the acid. If it gets
in the eyes, flush the eyes with water, and call a doctor.
- Oils and fluids: Oil waste must not be disposed of by burning, and under no circumstances must
oil be poured down the drain or into water systems. Waste oil shall be collected in appropriate

Copyright © Sandvik Mining and Construction 55 (200)


OPERATOR’S MANUAL Tiger DG700
containers. The best containers for collecting oil waste are the original containers for the oils. The
original containers already have the necessary warning labels, are easy to close, and can be
moved around fairly easily. Always strike out the product name on the label and clearly label the
container “oil waste”. Empty oil containers must not be dumped in landfills without having been
cleaned. Cleaned plastic containers can be disposed of as regular waste. Most countries have
arranged a recycling system for metal barrels. Greases, fuels, solvents, and other substances
must not be mixed with oil waste.
- Solid waste containing oil: Oil filters, oil rags, fuel filters, and oil absorbents must be collected in
a separate container.
- Solvents and oil trap sludge: Solvents and sludge that has collected on the surface of the oil
traps can both be collected into the same container. The surface layer in the oil traps must be
removed regularly, and the entire trap must be drained at least once a year, including the sludge at
the bottom. Do not mix the oil trap sludge with oil waste.
- Fuel oil: Fuel oil is hazardous waste that must in all cases be processed by an authorized waste
treatment plant.
- Radiator, brake, and clutch fluids: Used radiator, brake, and clutch fluids contain traces of
heavy metals, zinc, and copper, for which they must not be poured down the drain or mixed with oil
waste. They are to be collected in a separate, labeled container and delivered to the same plants
as the oil waste.

2.12. Potential product related hazards identified by the user

Sandvik has taken all necessary precautions to design a safe machine. If, in spite of these efforts,
you observe a hazard for which you believe there are insufficient safety measures, immediately
inform your supervisor. If necessary, also inform the other employees working with the product.
Report the hazard to your local Sandvik representative. Do not perform a task if you are unable to
perform the task in a safe manner.

2.13. Incident reporting

Product safety issues to be reported are events where a product manufactured by Sandvik Mining
and Construction has been involved in an accident or near-miss incident. Safety-related feedback,
such as unauthorized modifications, missing manuals and safety labels, negligence of maintenance
or misuse shall be reported to your local Sandvik representative as well.

Reporting is mandatory to ensure safe working conditions for employees, to provide information for
the risk assessment process, and to initiate product improvements. Contact your local Sandvik
representative to report safety issues, such as those mentioned above.

How to make the most of the air conditioning

- Fan speed and air temperature are easy to adjust. Never use a higher fan speed than necessary.
If it feels cold in the cabin, always choose a lower fan speed before adjusting the thermostat.
- Adjust the direction of the air nozzles to make the air flow feel as comfortable as possible. Never
direct the air flow towards yourself.
- Keep the indoor air recirculation switched on and the door closed. This ensures the air
conditioning works most efficiently and problems of outside noise, exhaust gases, dust etc. are
avoided.
- Do not keep the cabin temperature too low. Keep in mind that your body does not appreciate
extreme variations of temperature. Test which temperature difference is best for you. It is
recommended that the indoor temperature is not more than 5-7 ℃ below the outdoor
temperature. Adjust the temperature according to what you feel is comfortable, not according to

4.3.4. Oscillation

DANGER
TIPPING HAZARD!
Will cause death or severe injury.

Never exceed the specified tilting angles.


When oscillation is unlocked, always keep the boom in the
tramming position and upper carriage aligned with tracks.
Make sure that there is no one in the danger area of the rig
when you release oscillation locking.

Oscillation locking is usually kept opened during tramming. This guarantees the best possible
comfort and minimizes the stresses on the frame.

When tramming in uneven terrain, use oscillation to keep the rig as horizontal as possible. This
guarantees proper lubrication for the diesel engine, and the best possible balance of the rig. If only
one track has to be driven over an obstacle, use oscillation to maintain balance. Avoid sudden
falling from the obstacle.

4.3.5. Stopping

- The rig is equipped with two drive gears with hydraulic motors. These units incorporate spring--
operated multi-plate brakes that are released with hydraulic pressure. The system is connected so
that the brakes are always applied automatically when the tramming control levers are in the
middle position. The brakes are released automatically when pressure is directed to drive motors.
- The tramming control levers should not be centralized too abruptly when the rig is moving.

4.3.6. Tramming to the drilling site

1.Before starting the engine, make sure that the tramming levers are in neutral position.
2.Start the engine as previously instructed.
3.Move the boom and the feed to the tramming position.
4.Use switch S15 (18) as shown in above picture to raise the rear jack (optional).
5.Make sure the switch S25 (12) as shown above is in neutral position to release oscillation
locking for the duration of tramming.

Ensure before starting that there is nobody in the danger area
of the rig and that none of the joysticks is in an operating
position.

4.4.2. Principle of percussion drilling

Percussion drilling has four main functions:

- Percussion (P) enables drill bit penetration into


rock
- Feed (F) keeps the drill bit in tight contact with
rock
- Rotation (R) turns the drill bit into a new position
before the next percussion.
- Flushing (A), which cleans the cuttings and cools
the drilling equipment.
The percussion energy created by the rock drill
piston is transferred to the rock through the drilling
equipment.

108 (200) Copyright © Sandvik Mining and Construction


Tiger DG700 OPERATOR’S MANUAL

Percussion

Percussion refers to the rock drill piston's


impacting, reciprocating movement generated by
the hydraulics. The rock drill's shank transfers the
piston's percussion energy into the drill rod, and the
rod does the same through the drill bit to the rock.
The striking point is the point where the piston hits
the shank.

The percussion power is generated by the


percussion force, the percussion frequency, and
the drill bit’s penetration. The percussion power is
conveyed to the rock through the drilling
equipment. The percussion power can be directly
controlled by using percussion pressure.
One of the basic issues in drilling is the energy
transfer capacity of the drilling equipment. Only a
certain maximum amount of kinetic energy can be
transferred using drilling equipment of a certain
size. When the equipment’s ability to transfer
energy is exceeded, equipment damage increases
rapidly.

The percussion power used depends on the quality


of the rock to be drilled. If the rock is soft, a lower
percussion pressure can be used. If the rock is
hard, a higher percussion pressure is used.

Setting the percussion pressure always involves a


compromise between penetration rate and
equipment durability.

Copyright © Sandvik Mining and Construction 109 (200)


OPERATOR’S MANUAL Tiger DG700
Rotation

Rotation is the drill rod's rotation movement that


aims to move the drill bit buttons between
percussions. The hydraulic motor inside the rock
drill rotates the drill rod through a gearing. The
correct rotation speed depends on the form and
diameter of the drill bit, hole depth, rock conditions,
and the other main functions of drilling.

Inadequate rotation speed causes energy loss (the


cuttings are ground too finely) and leads to poor
penetration.

Too high a rotation speed results in excessive bit


wear, since the rock is broken by rotation rather
than percussion. Excessive rotation speed also
leads to over-tightening of threaded connections.

110 (200) Copyright © Sandvik Mining and Construction


Tiger DG700 OPERATOR’S MANUAL

Flushing

Flushing means transferring the loose rock material


(cuttings) created in drilling away from the drill hole.
The other task of the flushing function is to cool the
structures of the rock drill and the drilling
equipment.

Poor flushing leads to low penetration (cuttings are


ground at the bottom of the hole), to short drilling
equipment service life (risk of rod jamming is
increased), and to rapid wear of the drill bit.

Air flushing
The flushing air is carried to the bottom of the hole
through the rod hole and the holes in the drill bit.
The mix of flushing air and cuttings is directed out
of the hole through the space between the rod and
the hole wall.

Copyright © Sandvik Mining and Construction 111 (200)


OPERATOR’S MANUAL Tiger DG700
Feed

The feed movement means the rock drill's linear


movement on the feed.

The purpose of the feed is to keep the shank tightly


connected to the rock drill and the drill bit in firm
contact with the rock.

When the percussion pressure is increased, the


feed pressure must also be increased. The correct
feed power depends on the percussion pressure,
rock conditions, hole depth, and the size and type
of the drilling equipment. Broken rock should be
drilled using low percussion pressure and low feed
pressure. The correct feed pressure can be
determined by observing and listening.

OBSERVE the following, which should be present:

- Constant progressive movement of the rock drill


(the drill carriage should not shake)
- Constant rotation of the rock drill (constant rpm)
- Tight shank connection (the connection must not
overheat / turn blue / emit smoke)
- Constant penetration
LISTEN to the following:

- Constant drilling sound (no rattling or shaking


sounds)
Excessive feed power does not increase
penetration. It only increases drill bit wear, causes
irregularity in the drilled holes, and bends the rod,
causing unusually high rotation pressures.
Inadequate feed power leads to loss of contact
between the drill bit and the rock. This causes the
percussion energy to be reflected back to the
drilling equipment, causing damage to the
equipment, the rock drill, and the drill carriage.

4.4.3. Drilling tools

Shank

The percussion energy and rotation torque are


transferred to the drilling equipment through the
shank.

Coupling sleeve

Sleeves are used to connect the extension rods


together.

Extension rod

The extension rod has an identical thread in both


ends. The rod length is usually 10–20 feet (300–600
cm).
MF rod

MF rods have a male thread in one end and a


female thread in the other. The lengths are as with
extension rods.
Tube equipment

The tube equipment is threaded as the extension


rods are. The tube equipment features a large
flushing hole. Guide tubes are used for difficult rock
conditions.
Drill bits

The button bit is the most common drill bit type. It


has a good penetration rate, and it is durable and

4.4.4. Grinding the bit

The bit grinder (optional) is controlled by means of 2-4 buttons located on the control box on the
front of the machine, and by a timer, also on the front of the machine. The START button (green)
and STOP button (red) are used to start and stop the machine. They also switch the cooling water
and protective air-curtain on/off at the same time. The timer is used to set the desired grinding time
for each button. It can be set anywhere between 3 and 30 seconds. When the grinder has ground a
button for the pre-set period of time, the grinding spindle stops and the feed pressure changes to
balance pressure. The balance pressure enables the grinding head to be moved up/down easily by
hand.

OPERATOR’S MANUAL Tiger DG700
To grind a drill bit, proceed as follows:

1.Switch on the main valve for air and/or water and check that the correct pressures are
available.
2.Adjust the balance pressure on the pressure regulator located on the front cover upper left-
hand side.
3.Place a drill bit in the bit holder and clamp it into position by tightening the knob (41) as
shown in the above picture.
4.Move the bit-holder with the drill bit by hand until the first button you wish to grind is located
vertically beneath the grinding cup and lock the arms with the knob (61) as shown above.
N.B. Peripheral buttons are installed in the drill bit at an angle. To enable them to be
located vertically under the grinding cup, the angle of the bit-holder must be changed. To
do this, release the locking lever (39) as shown above, adjust the bit holder to the correct
angle and tighten the locking lever. Release the bit clamp and turn the bit until the
peripheral button to be ground is located vertically beneath the grinding cup. Clamp the bit
in place.
5.Check the diameter and shape of the buttons (spherical, conical or ballistic) and select the
corresponding type of grinding cup.
6.Fit the grinding cup into the grinding spindle. Check that the O-ring in the grinding spindle are
not damaged. Smear the shaft of the grinding cup with a thin layer of grease. Press the
shaft into the spindle and make sure that the spanner flat on the grinding cup centres in the
grinding spindle. Lock the grinding cup into the spindle by pressing the locking clip into the
seated position. If you follow this procedure every time you change the grinding cup, there
should be no problems with the grinding spindle.
7.Set the timer to give a suitable grinding time (3-30 seconds).
8.Pull down the grinding head so that the grinding cup covers the button to be ground.
9.Start the grinding by pressing the START button (green) on the control panel. Check that the
flushing starts at the same time, and that it continues throughout grinding. A small flow is
sufficient to flush away the grinding residue and keep the grinding surface cool.
10.Check the feed pressure on the feed-pressure gauge on the top-right of the inner mounting
frame. It should be somewhere between 0.5 and 3.5 bar and can be adjusted on the feed-
pressure regulator above the gauge. The idea is to find the most economical feed pressure
with regard to grinding time, grinding-cup service life and grinding result. Having the correct
feed pressure also reduces the noise level, due to less vibration. Small buttons need less
feed pressure. Larger buttons need more feed pressure. Sometimes, e.g. when grinding
large buttons, it may be necessary to raise the feed pressure above 3.5 bar to reduce the
grinding time. If the grinding head vibrates during grinding, this indicates that the feed
pressure is too low. To adjust the feed pressure, pull out the wheel on the regulator and
turn it clockwise to raise the pressure or anti-clockwise to lower the pressure. Change the
pressure by 0.5 bar at a time until you are satisfied with the function. The feed pressure can
be read off the feed-pressure gauge during grinding.
11.When the grinding time set on the timer elapses, the machine stops completely. The timer
resets itself automatically and the feed pressure switches to balance pressure, so that the
grinding head can be moved up/down easily by hand. Grinding can be terminated at any
time by pressing the STOP button (red) on the control panel.
12.Raise the grinding head so that you can see the button that has just been ground. Check
with a grinding gauge that it has been restored to the correct shape. Increase or decrease
the setting on the timer as necessary. Once it is set correctly, it should not be necessary to
change the setting, provided that all buttons in the bit are worn evenly. If button wear is not
even, however, it may be necessary to change the timer setting several times during the
grinding of a bit. After a button has been ground, turn the drill bit and/or move the bit holder
to centre the next button under the grinding cup, and so on.

4.4.6. Shank lubrication

The purpose of shank lubrication is to lubricate the rotation mechanism and shank of the rock drill.
The pump unit pumps oil to the rock drill through the plastic tube inside the compressed air tube.
The compressed air distributes the oil to the lubrication points.

1. Oil tank 2. Pump unit


3. Air

Flawless operation of shank lubrication is essential.


Inadequate operation quickly causes damage to the rock drill.

The operating panel has a green and a red indicator light. The green light indicates that shank
lubrication is operational. The red light indicates a malfunction in shank lubrication and, at the same
time, the drilling control lever returns to its middle position. The red light also indicates low oil level in
the oil tank, but in this case, the drilling control lever is not returned to its center position.

4. Shank lubrication working green indicator light


5. Shank lubrication disturbance (stops drilling) or shank lubrication oil
level low, red indicator light

Always make sure that the shank lubrication oil you use meets
the specifications. Choose correct oil viscosity according to
ambient temperature.

Percussion

FAULT SYMPTOMS
Too high percussion - Need to increase feed force.
pressure
- Shortened life of rock drill and drilling equipment.
- Hydraulic oil overheating.
- Increased risk of drill rod sticking.
Too low percussion -Decreased penetration rate. (When drilling into soft rock, the best
pressure penetration rate and longest drilling equipment life is reached with lower
percussion pressure than when drilling hard rock.)

Rotation

FAULT SYMPTOMS
Too high rotation - Fast wear of outer edge of drill bit (risk of anti-tapered bit).
speed
- Fine--grained drill cuttings.
- Wear of rock drill and rotation mechanism components.
Too low rotation -Uneven rotation of drill rod.
speed
- Decreased penetration rate.
- Increased stresses on drill rod and rotation mechanism.

Feed

FAULT SYMPTOMS
Too high feed force - Sticking rotation (rotation pressure fluctuates).
- Increased rotation torque (rotation pressure rises), causing overload on
drilling equipment and rotation mechanism of rock drill.
NOTE! Increase in rotation pressure can also be caused by drill rod
bending or other abnormal resistance to rotation.
- Bending of drill rod, faster wear of centralizers and chuck, increased risk
of piston striking shank at an angle.
- Changed sound of rock drill.
NOTE! INCREASING THE FEED FORCE OVER A CERTAIN LIMIT
DOES NOT INCREASE PENETRATION RATE.
Too low feed force -Rock drill jumps and shakes (clinking sound).
- Front end of chuck and coupling sleeve of drill rod wear faster.
- Faces of rock drill body wear faster (maintenance intervals are shortened).
- Penetration rate decreases. Rock drill is not in correct position when
piston strikes. Only a small proportion of impact force is transmitted to
rock.
- Life of drilling equipment is shortened (great tensile stresses on drilling
equipment).

- Diesel engine of drill rig is overloaded.

4.4.10. Replacing the drill bit

DANGER

ENTANGLEMENT HAZARD!
Unexpected rock-drill movement while changing the drill bit can
cause death or severe injury.

Make sure that movement of the rock drill and boom are pre-
vented before changing the drill bit.

RISK OF BURNS!
The hot surface of the drilling tools can cause death or serious
injury.
Allow the drilling tools to cool down before touching them.
Always wear protective gloves when handling drilling tools.

1.Turn the flushing on.


2.Use percussion to rattle the bit against the rock until the threads open.
3.Turn the feed forward to the indicated position.

4.Run the feed slightly forward so that the drill bit comes out of the suction head.
5.Turn off the engine.
6.Unscrew the drill bit. When removing the drill bit, remember that it is very heavy.
7.Screw the new drill bit in place. Use thread grease (optional) or thread it manually.

4.5.2. Positioning and support

The tramming levers must be kept in the middle position during


drilling. Make sure that nobody touches the levers.

Positioning and support in vertical drilling

Lock the oscillation before positioning the boom.

In hole aiming, the feed is lifted up with the feed


extension cylinder to get the boom's supporting
point as low as possible.

The hole aiming is adjusted to near the correct


position without lowering the stinger to the ground.
The angle is left slightly below the desired angle,
since the feed angle will change when the feed is
pushed down and the rig is supported in the drilling
position. The final hole aiming is made with the
boom lift cylinder and/or feed extension cylinder to
ensure that sufficient weight is applied to the
stinger. Note that when drilling at a slope, the feed
must be positioned at the downhill position.

130 (200) Copyright © Sandvik Mining and Construction


Tiger DG700 OPERATOR’S MANUAL

If the position of the boom is changed while the


stinger is in the ground, two opposite movements
must always be operated at the same time (for
example, feed swing cylinder and boom swing
cylinder) to avoid unnecessary stress on the
structures. The correct position of the rig is
achieved via three-point support where the stinger
of the feed acts as the third supporting point. The
rear sections of the tracks, or the jack and one
track, form the other supporting points.

Stabilizing in horizontal drilling

After hole aiming, press the feed against the rock using a feed extension movement. Stabilize the
feed using the front jack (optional). If you change the position of the boom while the stinger is in the
ground, always run two opposite movements.

6.12. Water heater Hydronic M12

6.12.1. General

The water heater operates only when the rig’s main switch is in the “ON” position (power on).
The rig’s main switch may not be switched off when the heater is activated or in use. The
rig’s main switch turns off the power to the whole electrical system; the heater and timer are
switched off too.

When the rig’s main switch has just been turned on, all indicators on the display flash – the timer
must be re-programmed. In this condition, the heater cannot be used.
When the ignition key is in the running position (power on), the display shows the day and time.
When the power is switched off, the clock disappears from the display within 15 seconds.

6.12.2. Operating instructions

If you want to warm up the cabin, you need to open the cabin heater water valve to the position
”warm”.The cabin heater blower should be set to slow speed (low power consumption).

6.12.3. Description of operation

Switching on

When the heater is switched on using the switch or the timer, the heating symbol appears on the
display.
The heater starts according to a preset program, whereby the water pump and the combustion air
fan start up first. The metering pump starts fuel feed somewhat delayed. The glow phase of the glow
plugs begins simultaneously with the distribution of the combustion air. The glow plugs are switched
off after a stable flame has formed in the combustion chamber.
Heating

At the initial start the heater is operated with the "POWER" (12000 W) stage until the water
temperature exceeds the "POWER" / "HIGH" changeover threshold.
Then, depending on the heat requirement, the heater switches to one of the following stages:
- HIGH (9500 W)
- MEDIUM 1 (5000 W)
- MEDIUM 2 (3500 W)
- MEDIUM 3 (1500 W)
- LOW (1200 W)
- OFF
If the heating requirement in the "LOW" stage is so small that the coolant temperature reaches
85°C, the heater switches from "LOW" to "OFF". This is followed by the after-run with additional
after glowing of the glow plugs. The after-run lasts approx. 180 seconds. The water pump stays on.

After the coolant has cooled down to approx. 70°C the heater starts in the "MEDIUM 1" stage. The
coolant temperature sensor switches the rig's fan on when the coolant temperature reaches approx.
55°C. The fan is turned off if the coolant temperature drops down to approx. 40°C.

Switching off

On being switched off the heater starts the after-run of 180 seconds. During the after-run both of the
glow plugs after glow.

OPERATOR’S MANUAL Tiger DG700
Heating at high altitudes

When the heater is used over 3500 m above sea level, the heater adjusts the fuel feed because of
the lower air density. The heater recognizes the change in the air density and adjusts the air/fuel
mixture to accommodate to the changed conditions. At high altitudes the maximum output power of
the heater is 8500 W.

6.12.4. Control and safety equipment

The heater is equipped with the following control and safety devices:

- If the heater does not ignite within 74 seconds after starting the fuel pump, the start is repeated. If
the heater still does not ignite after another 65 seconds, the heater is switched off. After an
unacceptable number of failed start attempts, the controller is locked.

- If the flame goes off by itself during operation, the heater is restarted. If the heater does not ignite
within 74 seconds after the fuel pump has started again, the heater is switched off. This status can
be remedied by briefly switching off and on again.

- In the case of overheating (e.g. lack of coolant, poorly vented coolant circuit), the overheating
sensor triggers, the fuel supply is interrupted, and the heater switches off. Once the cause of
overheating has been eliminated, the heater can be re-started by switching off and on again (on a
condition that the heater has cooled down again sufficiently and coolant temperature is below
70°C). After the heater has been switched off for overheating an unacceptable number of times,
the controller is locked. The controller can be enabled again and the faults read off.

- using the module timer / EasyStart T

- using the radio remote control TP5 / EasyStart T / EasyStart R+


- by connecting up a diagnosis unit

- using the diagnosis tool EDITH.

For operation and fault list, please refer to the enclosed operating instructions or the
troubleshooting and repair instructions for the heater.

- The heater is switched off if the upper or lower voltage limit is reached.
- The heater does not start up if the electric cable to the metering pump is interrupted.
- If one of the two glow plugs is defective the start sequence takes place with one glow plug only.
- The speed of the fan motor is monitored continuously. If the fan motor does not start up, or if the
speed differs by over 12,5% from the desired speed a safety lockout (shutdown on faults) takes
place after 60 seconds.
- The water pump's function is continuously monitored.
