OPERATION
• Disconnect air supply from the drill to prevent accidental starting and potential injury while
placing a drill bit or arbor in the chuck.
• The 1/2” large-capacity chuck opens by turning it in a counter-clockwise direction (when
viewed from the open end) while gripping the base section of the chuck.
• Place the desired drill bit or arbor into the opened chuck then rotate it in a clockwise direction
to close the chuck jaw teeth.
• Make sure the forward reverse lever is in the correct position; (“F” or up for forward and “R” or
downward for reverse) and depress trigger to begin drill action. Speed is regulated by pressure
applied to trigger.
MAINTENANCE
• Add several drops of air tool oil before each use directly into the air inlet.
• If tool is to be unused for an extended period, add 10 drops of air tool oil directly into the air
inlet, rotate the drill motor by hand several times to distribute the oil throughout the motor and
gearbox then store the drill handle up.
• With the air supply disconnected, open chuck jaws fully and using a #2 phillips screw driver,
periodically check that the chuck retaining screw is tight. NOTE: This screw is left-hand
threaded, turn counter-clockwise to tighten.
Your Eastwood 1/2” Reversible Pneumatic Drill is a heavy-duty professional quality tool ruggedly
designed for many years of reliable service. It features a large-capacity 1/2”, non-slip, keyless chuck
for quick, convenient and secure drill bit changes. A high-torque, ball bearing motor with hardened
reduction gears provide smooth operation and long life. Fully reversible with an infinitely progressive
throttled trigger control.
WARNINGS
• Do not exceed 90 psi [6.3 bar] of tool inlet air pressure. Permanent tool damage and or
personal injury could occur.
• Do not force tool or exert side forces on drill bit while drilling as the tool body can suddenly kick
back or twist causing severe hand or wrist injury. Drill bits can also break with excessive side
force causing them to shatter and eject sharp pieces at high velocity.
• Wear approved eye gear at all times when operating the tool for protection from possible
ejected metal chips from drilling.
• Keep loose clothing, jewelry and long hair away from rotating components as serious personal
injury can occur.
• Always disconnect tool from air supply when changing wheels to prevent accidental tool
starting and potential injury.
• Always make sure the workpiece being drilled is securely clamped or anchored to allow two
handed operation of the drill.
