Tool Set Up
To prevent serious injury
from accidental operation:
Turn off the tool, detach the air supply, safely discharge any residual air pressure in the tool, and release the throttle and/or turn the switch to its off position before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
To prevent serious injury:
Do not adjust or tamper with any control or component in a way not specifically explained within this manual. Improper adjustment can result in tool failure or other serious hazards.
1.You will need to prepare a 1/4" air connector to connect to the Air Inlet (13) on the Drill. First, wrap the 1/4" air connector with pipe thread seal tape before connecting to a 1/4"
ID Air Source Hose (not included). Connect the Air Source Hose to the Drill.
Note: If you are not using an automatic oiler system, before operation, add a few drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil to the airline connection. Add a few drops more after each hour of continual use.
2.Set the air pressure on your compressor to 90 PSI. Do not exceed the maximum air pressure of 90 PSI.
3.Check the air connection for leaks.
Warning! Always disconnect the unit from the air compressor when changing bits.
Warning! After drilling, the bit will be extremely hot. Do not touch it until it has had ample time to cool down.
Note: To reverse the drill’s direction, flip the Reverse Lever on the handle down. (See Fig.1).
4.To install the handle: Slide the Handle Ring (35) over the Clamp Nut (30) in the desired position. Install the Handle (34) over the threaded portion of the Handle Ring (35) and tighten securely.
5.Insert the Chuck Key (36) into one of the holes in the Chuck (32) and turn it counterclockwise to open the jaws.
6.Insert the bit and hand tighten it, then tighten it with the Chuck Key (36) by turning it clockwise.
7.With heavy leather gloves on, tug on the bit and make sure it is securely attached. Check that it is straight.
