1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•WARNING! Ensure Health & Safety, local authority, and general workshop
practice regulations are adhered to when using this equipment.
•WARNING! Disconnect from air supply before changing drill bits, or servicing ,or
performing any maintenance.
•Maintain the drill in good condition
•Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts
may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
•Use in a suitable work area. Keep area free from unrelated materials and ensure
that there is adequate lighting.
•Before each use check condition of drill bit. Sharpen if necessary. If worn or
damaged replace immediately.
•Ensure there are no flammable or combustible materials near the work area.
•Evaluate your working area before using the drill. Ceilings, floors and enclosures
may contain hidden electrical wiring, water pipes or gas pipes.
•WARNING! Always wear approved eye (and/or face) and hand protection when
operating the drill.
•Use face, dust, or respiratory protection in accordance with COSHH regulations.
•Depending on the task, the drilling noise level may exceed 84dB in which case
wear safety ear defenders.
•Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings, other loose jewellery and
contain and/or tie back long hair.
•Wear appropriate protective clothing and keep hands and body clear of working
parts.
•Maintain correct balance and footing. Do not over reach, ensure the floor is not
slippery, wear non-slip shoes.
•Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
•Ensure workpiece is secure before operating the drill. Never hold a workpiece by
hand.
•Check the workpiece to ensure there are no protruding screws, bolts, nuts etc.
•Avoid unintentional starting.
•WARNING! Ensure correct air pressure is maintained and not exceeded.
Recommended pressure 70-90psi.
•Keep air hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check air hose for wear
before each use and ensure all connections are secure.
•Prolonged exposure to vibration from this drill poses a health risk. It is the
owner’s responsibility to correctly assess the potential hazard and issue
guidelines for safe periods of use and offer suitable protective equipment.
•DO NOT use the drill for a task it is not designed to perform.
•DO NOT operate drill if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause

3
failure and/or personal injury.
•WARNING! DO NOT drill any materials containing asbestos.
•DO NOT carry the drill by the hose, or yank the hose from the air supply.
•DO NOT force, or apply heavy pressure to the drill; let the tool do the work.
•DO NOT place air line attachments close to your face and do not point at other
people or animals.
•DO NOT operate drill when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs
or intoxicating medication.
•DO NOT use drill where there are flammable liquids, solids or gases such as
paint solvents and including waste wiping or cleaning rags etc.
•DO NOT carry the drill with your finger on the trigger.
•DO NOT direct air from the air line at yourself or others.
•When not in use disconnect from air supply and store in a safe, dry, childproof
location.

3. PREPARING DRILL FOR USE
3.1. Air Supply
Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig 1.
3.1.1. Ensure tool air valve (or trigger) is in the "off" position before connecting to
the air supply.
3.1.2. You will require an air pressure of 90psi, and an air flow according to
specification.
3.1.3. WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while
operating the tool. Too high an air pressure and/or unclean air will shorten
the product life due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous causing
damage and/or personal injury.
3.1.4. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the tool.
3.1.5. Clean air inlet filter weekly.

3.1.6. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air
hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I.D. and
fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
3.1.7. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and
make certain that all connections are secure.
3.2. Couplings
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the
tool.
To overcome this, connect a leader hose to the tool. A quick change coupling
may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose. See fig.1
and fig.2.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure you read, understand and apply
safety instructions before use.
WARNING! Unplug from the air supply
before placing bit into chuck.
4.1. DRILL BIT FITTING. Regularly check the drill bit and always change if worn,
cracked or otherwise damaged.
4.1.2. Open or close the chuck jaws to a point where the opening is slightly larger
than the drill or tool bit to be used by unscrewing the chuck .Insert the drill
bit into the chuck as far as it will go. Tighten the chuck securely.
4.2. Connect air supply to drill. Squeeze the trigger to check that the drill is

5
working correctly before starting work.
4.2.1. DO NOT allow drill to run freely for an extended period of time as this will
shorten the life of bearings.
WARNING! Ensure you wear approved safety goggles and any other safety
items required for the job. Also ensure that all other safety requirements are
followed
4.3. USING THE DRILL
4.3.1. Ensure the drill is turning in the forward direction by checking that the lever
adjacent to the trigger is next to the forward symbol “F” (fig 3). If not, push
the lever over to the forward position.
4.3.2. Hold tool firmly and place the bit tip to the point to be drilled.
4.3.3. Depress the trigger to start drill. Move the drill bit into the workpiece
applying only enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. DO NOT force or
apply side pressure to elongate the hole.
4.3.4. If the material to be drilled is free standing it should be secured in a vice or
with clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.
4.3.5. When drilling metals, use a light oil on the drill bit to keep it from
overheating. Oil will prolong life of bit and improve the drilling action.
4.3.6 For hard smooth surfaces use a centre punch to mark desired hole location.
This will prevent bit from slipping as your start to drill.
4.3.7 A pilot hole may be necessary to assist the final drill size through the
workpiece. Lock a pilot drill (smaller size drill than the finished hole size) into
the chuck. Follow steps 4.3.1. to 4.3.3. above and drill a pilot hole in the
middle of the centre punch mark where final hole is to be drilled. Insert the
final sized bit in chuck. Hold drill firmly, place the bit at the entrance of the
pilot hole and depress the trigger.
WARNING! Be prepared for drill binding or break through. When these situations
occur the drill has a tendency to grab and kick in the opposite direction
which could cause loss of control. If you are not prepared, this loss of
control can result in damage and/or personal injury.
4.3.8 If the bit jams in the workpiece or if the drill stalls, release the trigger switch
immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece and determine the reason
for jamming. It may be necessary to reverse the direction of rotation by
moving the lever adjacent to the trigger to the reverse “R” position (fig 3).
5. MAINTENANCE
Fig. 3

6
WARNING! Disconnect drill from air supply before changing drill bit,
servicing or performing maintenance. Replace or repair damaged parts. Use
genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the
warranty.
5.1. If the air supply does not have an oiler, lubricate the drill daily with a few
drops of good grade air tool oil, dripped into the air inlet before use or dispensed
automatically through an air system oiler.
5.2. Clean the drill after use and change the bit when worn or damaged.
5.3. Loss of power or erratic action may be due to the following:
a) Excessive drain on the air supply. Moisture or restriction in the air line.
Incorrect size or type of hose connectors. To remedy check the air supply and
follow instructions in Section 3.
b) Grit or gum deposits in the drill may also reduce performance. Flush the drill
with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE No 10 oil and kerosene. Allow to
dry before use.
5.4. When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean drill and store in a safe,
dry, childproof location.
