A method for mounting a roll of protective mesh material to an underground rock drilling machine, a method for attaching protective mesh material to a rock surface and a mounting device

A method for mounting a roll of protective mesh material to an underground rock drilling machine comprising at least one drilling boom,

• the method including at least the following steps:
• inserting a first end of a first bar from a first lateral side of the roll of protective mesh material into a center of the roll of protective mesh material
• fastening the first bar directly or indirectly to the drilling boom
• inserting a first end of a second bar from a second lateral side of the roll of protective mesh material opposite the first lateral side into the center of the roll of protective mesh material
• fastening the second bar directly or indirectly to the drilling boom in a location that is spaced apart from the first bar
• securing the roll of protective mesh material against autonomous unrolling, wherein for securing the roll of protective mesh material against autonomous unrolling, the roll of protective mesh material is tensioned by applying a pressure to at least one of the lateral sides of the roll of protective mesh material or wherein in order to secure the roll of protective mesh material against autonomous unrolling, the roll of protective mesh material mounted to the drilling boom is tilted in such a way that the protective mesh material of the roll of protective mesh material rests on a left side of the drilling boom or on a right side of the drilling boom.
