Tips

●

This tool has a stabilizer handle (C). Loosen stabilizer handle and rotate to desired position and tighten.

Place the tool in reverse or forward position.

Position drill bit at the point to be drilled and depress the	C
trigger.

Always disconnect air supply when changing drill bits.

Release trigger to stop tool.

	When job is complete, turn the air compressor off
	When job is complete, turn the air compressor off	Forward
	and store as described in the air compressor	Forward
	and store as described in the air compressor
	operator manual.

		Reverse

Locate the position of the hole to be drilled. Mark

that position with a center punch. This provides a good seat for the drill bit point and keeps the drill from moving from the mark. Never apply a spinning drill bit to the work.

●Apply just enough pressure to keep the drill cutting. Do not force it. Too much pressure may cause the drill to break.

●Withdraw the drill several times to clear the cuttings when drilling deep holes.

MAINTENANCE

Lubrication

Air tools require lubrication throughout the life of the tool. The air motor and bearing uses compressed air to power the tool. Because moisture in compressed air will rust the air motor, you must lubricate the motor daily. An inline oiler is recommended.

To lubricate the air motor manually:

●

Disconnect the tool from the air supply holding it so the air inlet faces up.

Hold the trigger in and place one to two drops of air tool oil in the air inlet Depressing the trigger helps circulate oil in the motor. NOTE: Use SAE #10 weight oil if air tool oil is not available.

Connect the tool to an air source, cover the exhaust end with a towel and run for a few seconds.

Any excess oil in the motor is immediately

expelled from the exhaust port. Always direct exhaust port away from people or objects.

Failure to lubricate the tool at the air inlet will void your warranty.
