Ensure that all the holes are drilled at their correct positions, because imprecise hole drilling may hamper
the installation.
l Before drilling the holes, ensure that the positions of the holes are correct based on Figure 5-4 or
Figure 5-5.
l Ask architectural engineers whether drilling into the concrete floor is permissible before drilling holes.
l The concrete floor should not be fully penetrated. Therefore, you should confirm the thickness of the
concrete floor before drilling any holes. If the concrete floor is not thick enough to hold the selected
expansion bolt assemblies, replace them.
l Protect the electronic equipment from dust before drilling the holes. For example, cover the electronic
equipment.
l Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust when drilling the holes. Before removing the dustproof cover
from the electronic equipment, remove particles and other waste that have accumulated when drilling
the holes.
l Wear safety goggles when drilling the holes.
1. Use a chisel to dig a pit to help hold the drill bit to the floor, as shown in Figure 5-5.
Figure 5-5 Using a chisel to dig a pit
NOTE
If the ground is too hard or slippery to position the drill bit stably, use a chisel to dig a pit before
drilling the holes. If a reinforcing steel bar is found where the hole is being drilled, stop drilling the
hole and drill another one a little inward along the diagonal.
2. Use the 16 bit and the scaleplate on the hammer drill to ensure that the drilling depth
ranges from 85 mm to 90 mm, as shown in Figure 5-6.
