Safety Information (continued)
AIR COMPRESSOR AND AIR TOOL SAFETY
1. Risk of Bursting. Do not adjust the regulator to result in output
pressure greater than the marked maximum pressure of this air
tool.
2. Ensure the hose is free of obstructions or snags. Entangled or
snarled hoses can cause loss of balance or footing and may
become damaged.
3. Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose attached.
4. Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible warning
label.
5. Do not continue to use a tool or hose that leaks air or does not
function properly.
6. Never direct a jet of compressed air toward people or animals.
7. Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is
dusty.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
Lead from lead based paint, crystalline silica from bricks
and cement and other masonry products, arsenic and
chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from those exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that
Vibration Level (m/sec2): 2.5 Noise Level (dBA): 87
Important Warnings - Screwdrivers
1. Eye protection and hearing protection must always be worn when operating a screwdriver.
Accessory Hazards
2. Disconnect the assembly power tool for threaded fasteners from the energy supply before changing the inserted tool or
accessory.
3. Use only sizes and types of accessories and consumables that are recommended by the assembly power tool for threaded
fasteners manufacturer; do not use other types or sizes of accessories and consumables.

Installation
1 Cleaning the air hose
A 3/8" air hose is required, with a maximum length of 25 ft.
Clean the air hose of accumulated dust and moisture
before connecting it to the air supply.
NOTE: If a longer air hose is required, connect a 1/2"
air hose to the 3/8" air hose to ensure the drill has the
necessary air supply.

A Air Tool
B Quick Plug
C Quick Coupler
D Air Hose
E In-line Regulator
F In-line Lubricator
G In-line Filter
H Air Compressor
Ensure the air line is shut-off and drained of air before removing this tool for service or changing sockets. This will prevent the tool from
operating if the throttle is accidentally engaged.
LUBRICATION
Adjust the in-line lubricator by placing a sheet of paper next to the tool’s exhaust ports and holding the throttle open approximately 30
seconds. The lubricator is properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper.
If it is necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.), generously lubricate the tool through the air
inlet. Run the tool for approximately 30 seconds to ensure the oil is evenly distributed throughout the tool. Store the tool in a clean and
dry environment.
Recommended lubricants: Air tool oil or any other high grade turbine oil containing moisture absorbent, rust inhibitors, metal wetting
agents, and an EP (extreme pressure) additive.

Operation
1 Operating the drill
This 1/2" Reversible Pistol Grip Drill is designed to operate
on 90 PSIG. Lower pressure (below 90 PSIG) will reduce
performance of the tool. Higher air pressure (over 90
PSIG) raises the performance of the tool beyond its rated
capacity and could cause serious damage to tool and user.
2 Changing the rotation direction
The direction of the bit rotation is reversible.
Control the rotation direction by moving the side-mounted
switch to F (forward) or R (reverse) as required for the
operation.
3 Installing and removing the bits
WARNING: Disconnect tool from air supply before servicing
or changing accessories.
To install the bits:
Remove the air supply from the reversible drill.
Insert the drill bit as far as possible into the opening.
Using an appropriately sized chuck key, turn the chuck key
clockwise to securely tighten the drill bit, tap, or reamer in
the drill chuck.
Always remove the chuck key before connecting the drill to
the air line.
To remove the bits:
Remove the air supply from the reversible drill.
Using an appropriately sized chuck key, turn the chuck key
counterclockwise to loosen the drill bit, tap, or reamer in
the drill chuck.
Remove the bit.
4 Drilling
Place the rotation direction forward position.
Hold the drill with one hand.
Place the bit head onto the surface and slowly depress the
switch trigger. Start the bit slowly for more control.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Solution
The tool runs slowly or will not
operate.
There is grit or gum in the tool. Flush the tool with air tool oil or gum solvent.
The tool is out of oil. Lubricate the tool according to the lubrication
instructions in this manual.
The air pressure is low. Adjust the regulator on the tool to the
maximum setting.
Adjust the compressor regulator to the tool’s
maximum setting of 90 psi.
The air hose leaks.
tape if leaks are found.
The air pressure drops. Ensure the hose is the proper size. Long
hoses or tools using large volumes of air may
require a hose with an I.D. of ½" or larger
depending on the total length of the hose.
Do not use a multiple number of hoses
connected together with a quick connect
and reduces the tool power. Directly connect
the hoses together.
There is a worn rotor blade in the motor. Replace the rotor blade.
There is a worn ball bearing in the motor. Remove and inspect the bearing for rust, dirt, and
grit. Replace or clean and grease the bearing with
bearing grease.
There is moisture blowing out
of the tool’s exhaust.
There is water in the tank. Drain the tank. (See the air compressor manual
for instructions.) Lubricate the tool and run it until
water is not evident. Lubricate the tool again and
run for 1-2 seconds.
