Perforator operation in different modes

June 24, 2020

A perforator is an electric tool designed to make holes in brick structures, concrete and many other materials. The perforator drill consists of an electric motor, an impact mechanism , a gearbox and a cartridge with functional nozzles attached to it. As a result of the impact of the tool, the structure of the material is completely destroyed.

As for operating modes, there are several different types, which we will discuss in more detail in today's blog post.

Drilling mode

It is recommended to start drilling at low speed, without applying excessive pressure to the surface. After starting the engine, it is advisable to let the tool idle for a while.

In the event of vibration, unusual noise, or smoke, respond to the malfunction in a timely manner to prevent more serious consequences, such as damage to building structures.

Much in tool technology depends on the characteristics of the material. Experts recommend high-quality devices from trusted manufacturers, which are designed specifically for such operations. In addition, it is necessary to prepare the surface in advance, since the holes are processed in stages, expanding the diameter to the desired size.

Shock mode

During such an operation, the hammer must be held with both hands, and the speed can be adjusted depending on the characteristics of the work. It is necessary to constantly monitor the tool, as situations often arise in which the drill can jam.

In many cases, a common mistake is to want to do the entire operation in one go, which is incorrect. It is preferable to work slowly to avoid injuries as much as possible. In addition, it is necessary to clean the drill periodically.

The choice of equipment is determined by the type of work performed and the specific characteristics of the tool itself. Mechanical damage or systematic overheating of the device is unacceptable. When choosing, you should pay attention to aluminum models, which, due to the characteristics of the material, always cool better.

When working with a drill, it is recommended to wear rubber gloves, which will help reduce vibration, although for this reason, the tool itself is equipped with special inserts.

Perforator care tips

In such cases, great attention should be paid to gear lubrication, especially if working with concrete structures. Remember, in such a situation, a large amount of dust is generated along with drilling.

Using a built-in vacuum cleaner is a good protection, but many models of expensive, relatively sophisticated tools are equipped with special glasses. It is also worth considering that when working at low speeds, the device heats up quickly, so constant monitoring of the operating mode is required.

After use and disconnection, it is recommended that you clean the tool with a soft cloth to prevent contamination. If necessary, you can also use a soap solution.

Particular attention should be paid to the cleanliness of ventilation units. It is equally important to regularly carry out routine inspections of equipment.

Also, before starting work, it is necessary to lubricate the nozzles to prevent excessive load on the drill barrel due to friction.

With proper care, virtually any device can serve you for the same period of time you would expect from a Bosch rotary hammer drill .
