[One who] operates machine to install roof-support bolts in underground mine: Positions safety jack to support roof until bolts can be installed. Drives machine into position, inserts bit in drill chuck, and starts drill. Moves lever to advance bit into roof at specified distance from rib or adjacent bolt. Removes bit from chuck and replaces with bolt. Starts hydraulic action which forces bolt into hole. Starts rotation of chuck to turn bolt and open expansion head to exert pressure upon rock formation. Tests bolt for specified tension, using torque wrench. 2, record 1, English, - roof%20bolter

[Personne qui] conduit une machine qui installe les boulons d’étançonnement dans le toit des galeries des mines : Place les vérins de sécurité pour soutenir le toit jusqu'à l'installation des boulons. Met la machine en position, place le fleuret dans le mandrin et met la machine en marche. Manœuvre le levier pour faire pénétrer le fleuret dans le roc du toit, à une certaine distance de l'étançon ou du boulon voisin. Retire le fleuret du mandrin et met un boulon dans le mandrin. Déclenche la poussée hydraulique qui force le boulon à entrer dans le trou creusé par le fleuret. Met en marche le mouvement rotatif du mandrin pour visser le boulon et ouvrir la tête à expansion qui fera pression dans le roc. Vérifie la tension de boulons à l'aide d’une clef dynamométrique. 3, record 1, French, - poseur%20de%20boulons%20dans%20le%20toit

There are times when, for engineering reasons, a definite force must be applied to a nut or bolt head. In such cases a torque wrench must be used. For example, equal force must be applied to all the head bolts of an engine. ... The three most commonly used torque wrenches are the Deflecting Beam, Dial indicating, and Micrometer Setting types ... . When using the Deflecting Beam and The Dial indicating torque wrenches, the torque is read visually on a dial or scale mounted on the handle of the wrench. 3, record 2, English, - deflecting%20beam%20torque%20wrench
