SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
You have purchased a quality product that is designed for high performance
and long service life. If correct use, safety and maintenance procedures are
observed this machine will last for many years.
Always adhere to the processes and safety
warnings, which are stated in the instruction
manual.
GENERAL OPERATING HAZARDS
Always ensure the mains power supply
corresponds to the power rating on the
specification label on the machine.
Always plug the battery charger into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Check with a qualified electrician
if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded.
Always ensure the maintenance of electrical
components is carried out by a suitably qualified
person.
Never allow routine to lead to mistakes.
Never operate if any parts are missing or
damaged.
Never allow untrained persons to operate the
tool.
WORKPLACE HAZARDS
Always ensure your working area is clean and
well lit.
When working at height make sure that the tool
is safely secured and be aware of objects falling
below. Make sure that no persons are working
directly below the working area.
Do not operate in explosive atmosphere, for
instance extreme dust, gases and liquids.
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating the tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
Always ensure all users are physically able
and competent to handle the size and weight
of items/components being drilled and have
received appropriate training to perform the task.
 Never run the tool in areas exposed to water or
in damp conditions.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
Always wear approved eye protection during
operation. Use safety glasses or goggles which
conform to BSEN136 or CE equivalent that
provide protection from the front and side. The
operator of the power tool is responsible for
following accepted eye, face, respiratory, hearing
and body protection.
Always ensure that all long hair and loose clothing,
ties, scarves, jewellery, etc., are secured or
removed.
Always consult a doctor if numbness, tingling,
pain or whitening of the skin occurs. Repetitive
work motions, awkward positions and exposure
to vibration can cause “Repetitive Strain
Injuries”.
When operating the tool stay alert and use
common sense, especially when it comes to
working at height. Be aware of what’s below you.
Do not overreach. Keep a proper balance and
footing at all times.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
If devices are provided for the collection of dust,
ensure these are connected and properly used.
Do not use the tool if under the influence of
alcohol, drugs or medication.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts,breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged,have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.

SUGGESTED AIR SUPPLY
1. For optimal results you should incorporate a regulator, oiler and an inline filter.
2. If you are not using an automatic lubricating system, before operating the tool, add a few drops
of Pneumatic Tool Oil to the air-line connection. Add more after each hour of constant using.
3. Do not exceed maximum air pressure of 90 PSI/ 6.2 bar or as stated on tool nameplate.

Air tools require lubrication throughout the life of the tool otherwise moisture in the compressed air will
rust the air motor. Correct lubrication is vital for the maximum performance of the die grinder and an airline
lubricator should be fitted into the system down stream of the filter. Failure tolubricate the tool at the air inlet
will void your warranty.
Either use an air line lubricator with air tool oil adjusted to two drops per
minute, or if an air line lubricator cannot be used, add air motor oil to the
inlet once a day (See fig 1). ISO Grade VG22 oil is recommended.
Any excess oil in the motor is expelled immediately from the exhaust
port. Always direct the exhaust port away from people or objects.
Do not lubricate the die grinder with flammable or volatile liquids such as
kerosene, diesel or jet fuel.

OPERATION
WARNING! BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE THIS PRODUCT, MAKE SURE YOU ARE
FAMILIAR WITH ALL OPERATING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Use accessories recommended by Sunmatch. Check the position of the reversing mechanism before
operating the tool so as to be aware of the direction of rotation when operating. Use only impact sockets
and accessories. Do not use the hand sockets or accessories. Check the drive end of the tool to make
sure that the socket retainer functions correctly and that sockets and drive ends are not excessively worn
which may allow the socket to come off when rotating. Connections requiring specific torque must be
checked with a torque meter after fitting with an ratchet wrench.
LOOSENING
Attach the correct size socket to the anvil. Set the compressor’s pressure regulator to 90PSI. Connect the
tool to the air compressor’s hose. If leakage is detected, disconnect the air hose and fix it correct before
use. Place the socket over the nut to loosen. Grip the tool firmly.
TIGHTENING
Make sure that the nut or bolt you are using the tool to tighten can withstand the rated torque.
Tighten the nut as far as you can by hand. Place the socket on the nut. Press the Reverse valve forward so
it protrudes out the front of the housing. Please the trigger to start the tool.
MAINTENANCE
Disassemble and inspect higher wear parts every three months if the tool is used every day and replace
damaged or worn parts.
Replace as necessary all "O" rings, bearings and rotor blades, see parts break down.
It is recommended that adequate stocks of standard service parts are held for servicing requirements.
The use of other than genuine Kobe replacement parts may result in safety hazards, decreased tool
performance and increased maintenance.
Mineral spirits are recommended when cleaning the tool and its parts. Do not clean with any solvents or
oils containing acids, esters, ketones, chlorinated hydrocarbons or nitro carbons. Do not use chemicals
that have a low flash point.
For spare parts or servicing please contact your nearest agent. Remember to quote tool model number and
spare part number when ordering spares.
When disposing of components, lubricants etc. ensure that relevant environmental procedures are carried
out.
