only. Non-authorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
pWARNING! Check correct air pressure is maintained and not exceeded. We recommended 90 psi.
3Keep air hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check air hose for wear before each use
and ensure that all connections are secure.
3Wear approved safety eye protection. If dust is generated wear respiratory protection, and
safety gloves.
3Wear suitable clothing to avoid snagging. DO NOT wear loose jewellery and tie back long hair.
3Keep hands away from rotating chuck and drill bit.
3Keep drill bits clean and sharp for best and safest performance.
3 Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
3Secure non stable work piece with a clamp, vice or other adequate holding device.
3Ensure the chuck is securely fastened to the spindle and the drill bit is secure in the chuck.
3 Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
8DO NOT get the drill wet or use in damp or wet locations.
8DO NOT apply excessive loads to the drill bit during operation.
8DO NOT hold the workpiece by hand. Use clamps or a vice to secure the workpiece.
7 DO NOT use the drill for a task it is not designed to perform.
pWARNING! DO NOT use drill if damaged or faulty. Contact your local service agent.
pWARNING! Beware of high-reaction torque when breaking through the material being drilled.
7 DO NOT use drill unless you have been instructed in its use by a qualified person.
7 DO NOT drop, throw or abuse the drill.
7 DO NOT carry the drill by the air hose, or yank the hose from the air supply.
7 DO NOT operate drill if you are tired, under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating
medication.

3. PREPARING DRILL FOR USE
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
pWARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply Section 1 safety instructions.
4.1. Grip and turn the chuck as indicated in (fig.1) to open the jaws, insert the drill bit full depth,
grip and turn chuck in the opposite direction to close the three jaw chuck and clamp drill bit.
4.2 Connect the drill to the air hose as described in Section 3.
4.3. Push the safety catch (fig.1) forward and depress the throttle lever to operate the drill.

3.1. Air Supply
pWARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating
the drill. Too high an air pressure and unclean air will shorten the product life due to
excessive wear, and may be dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
3.1.1. Ensure drill 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. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the drill.
3.1.4. Clean air inlet filter weekly. Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig 1.
3.1.5. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8
metres). The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” internal diameter and fittings must
have compatible dimensions.
3.1.6. 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 drill. To
overcome this, connect a leader hose to the drill (Sealey ref: AH2R or AH2R/38). A quick
change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose.
See fig 2 & fig 3.

p WARNING! Disconnect drill from the air supply before changing accessories, servicing or
performing maintenance. Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only.
Non-authorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
5.1. Lubricate the air drill daily with a few drops of Sealey air tool oil dripped into the air inlet to
prolong its life.
5.2. Clean the drill after use.
5.3. Loss of power or erratic action may be due to the following:
a) Excessive drain on the air line. Moisture or restriction in the air pipe. 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. If your model has an air
strainer (located in the area of the air inlet), remove the strainer and clean it. Flush the
drill out with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE No 10 oil and paraffin.
Allow to dry before use.
5.4. For a full service contact your local Sealey service agent.
5.5. When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean drill and store in a safe, dry, childproof
location.

WARNING! – Risk of Hand Arm Vibration Injury.
This tool may cause Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome if its use is not adequately managed.
This tool is subject to the vibration testing section of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
This tool is to be operated in accordance with these instructions.
This tool has been tested in accordance with: EN ISO 28927-5:2009 & BS EN ISO 15744:2008.
Declaration and verification of Vibration Emission figures are in accordance with EN 12096:1997
Measured vibration emission value (a): 0.89 m/s²
Uncertainty value(k): 1.5 m/s²
Please note that the application of the tool to a sole specialist task may produce a different average vibration
emission. We recommend that a specific evaluation of the vibration emission is conducted prior to commencing
with a specialist task.
A health and safety assessment by the user (or employer) will need to be carried out to determine the suitable
duration of use for each tool.
NB: Stated Vibration Emission values are type-test values and are intended to be typical.
Whilst in use, the actual value will vary considerably from and depend on many factors.
Such factors include; the operator, the task and the inserted tool or consumable.
NB: ensure that the length of leader hoses is sufficient to allow unrestricted use, as this also helps to reduce
vibration.
The state of maintenance of the tool itself is also an important factor, a poorly maintained tool will also increase
the risk of Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome.
Health surveillance.
We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms of vibration injury so that
management procedures can be modified accordingly.
Personal protective equipment.
We are not aware of any personal protective equipment (PPE) that provides protection against vibration injury
that may result from the uncontrolled use of this tool. We recommend a sufficient supply of clothing (including
gloves) to enable the operator to remain warm and dry and maintain good blood circulation in fingers etc. Please
note that the most effective protection is prevention, please refer to the Correct Use and Maintenance section in
these instructions. Guidance relating to the management of hand arm vibration can be found on the HSC
website www.hse.gov.uk - Hand-Arm Vibration at Work.
