The present invention relates to a monitor used in coal mines for digging coal. The impact of pressured water against a coal face through the nozzle of the monitor effects the coal digging operation. In working the coal face, coal thrown out from the coal face will clash against the monitor, and falling coal lumps will bury the monitor thus decreasing the efficiency of coal digging operation, and the known type of monitor has suffered damage from such severe conditions. According to the present invention, the above impediment has been for the most part eliminated by virtue of the novel constructions wherein the cylinder for raising and lowering the nozzle of the monitor is mounted just behind the monitor while the unit for turning the nozzle of the monitor is disposed under main water supply pipe and is received and closed in a housing. This construction has further advantages in that the full height of the monitor is markedly decreased and in that the stability thereof is greatly increased.
