SETUP
• Using a good quality Teflon sealing tape (Not Included), thread the 1/4” MNPT, Male quick
disconnect inlet fitting into the air inlet.
CONNECTION
• Be sure that the air supply to the tool is clean and dry. Moisture in the supply line will quickly
damage the motor and valves.
• A minimum 3/8” I.D. air line should be used for optimal performance.
INJURY HAZARD
• Do not force drill or exert excessive side forces on tool while in use as the
drill body can suddenly kick back or twist causing severe hand or wrist
injury. Drill bits can suddenly break with excessive side force.
INJURY HAZARD
• Always make sure the workpiece is securely clamped or anchored to avoid
sudden movements which could result in injury.
INJURY HAZARD
• Always disconnect Drill from air supply when changing drill bits or accesso-
ries to prevent accidental tool starting and potential serious injury.
INJURY HAZARD
• Frequently inspect Chuck and overall tool condition. If damage is discovered,
discontinue tool use immediately. ONLY USE drill bits or accessories rated
for 1,500 RPM or greater use otherwise serious injury can result in the event
of failure.
VIBRATION INJURY HAZARD
• This Drill will vibrate during use! Repeated exposure to vibration may cause
physical injury.
OPERATION
• Open the Chuck Jaws by rotating the shell in a Counter-Clockwise direction (as viewed from
the open end).
• Insert drill bit or accessory shank into Chuck Jaws.
• Close the Chuck Jaws by rotating the shell in a Clockwise direction (as viewed from the
open end).
• Insert Chuck Key into one of three bores of the Chuck with the gear teeth engaged and turn
Clockwise to tighten Chuck Jaws.
• Connect air supply, depress Paddle to begin rotating action. Speed is regulated by pressure
applied to the Paddle.
• To reverse drill, disconnect from air supply, push in spring-loaded Reverse Button fully and
rotate Knob 1/4 turn Clockwise.
• For forward direction, disconnect from air supply, rotate Knob 1/4 turn Counter-Clockwise to
release.
MAINTENANCE
• Add several drops of air tool oil before each use by dropping directly into the air inlet.
• If tool is to be unused for an extended period, add 10 drops of air tool oil directly to the air
inlet, rotate the tool motor by hand several times to distribute the oil throughout the motor and
gearbox then store the tool, handle up.
INJURY HAZARD
Remove Chuck Key before starting Drill.
