4.1.3. WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90 psi while operating the tool. 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.
4.1.4. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the tool.
4.1.5. Clean air inlet filter weekly.
4.1.6. 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.
4.1.7. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain that all connections are
secure.
4.2. 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 & 2.
g.2
5. OPERATION
Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions before use.
WARNING! Unplug from the air supply before placing bit into chuck.
5.1. DRILL BIT FITTING. Regularly check the drill bit and always change if worn, cracked or otherwise damaged.
5.1.2. 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 (fig 3). Insert the drill bit into the chuck as far as it will go. Tighten the chuck securely.
5.2. Connect air supply to drill. Squeeze the trigger to check that the drill is working correctly before starting work.
5.2.1. 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.
5.3. USING THE DRILL
5.3.1. 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 4). If not, push the lever over to the forward position.
5.3.2. Hold tool firmly and place the bit tip to the point to be drilled.
5.3.3. 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.
5.3.4. 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.
5.3.5. 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.
5.3.6 For hard smooth surfaces use a centre punch to mark desired hole location. This will prevent bit from slipping as your start to drill.
5.3.7 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 5.3.1. to 5.3.3. 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 on 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.
5.3.8 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 4).

6. MAINTENANCE
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.
6.1. If the air supply does not have an oiler, lubricate the drill daily with a few drops of good grade air tool oil, such as Sealey ATO/500 or
ATO/1000, dripped into the air inlet before use or dispensed automatically through an air system oiler, such as Sealey model SA100L or
SA1/L.
6.2. Clean the drill after use and change the bit when worn or damaged.
6.3. 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 4.
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.
If you continue to experience problems, contact your local Sealey service agent.
6.4. For a full service contact your local Sealey service agent.
6.5. When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean drill and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
