8. Securely clamp your workpiece.
Work Piece and Work Area Set Up
Designate a work area that is clean 1.
and well-lit. The work area must not
allow access by children or pets to
prevent injury and distraction.
Route the air hose along a safe 2.
route to reach the work area without
creating a tripping hazard or exposing
the air hose to possible damage.
The air hose must be long enough
to reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement
while working.
Secure loose workpieces using a vise 3.
or clamps (not included) to prevent
movement while working.
There must not be hazardous objects 4.
(such as utility lines or foreign
objects) nearby that will present a
hazard while working.
General Operating Instructions
If an automatic oiler is not used, 1. add
a few drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil
to the airline connection before use.
Add a few drops more after each
hour of continual use.
If the tool requires more force to 2.
accomplish the task, verify that the
tool receives sufcient, unobstructed
airow (CFM) and increase the
pressure (PSI) output of the regulator
up to the maximum air pressure
rating of this tool. CAUTION! TO
PREVENT TOOL AND ACCESSORY
FAILURE, RESULTING IN INJURY:
Do not exceed the tool’s maximum
air pressure rating. If the tool still
does not have sufcient force at
maximum pressure and sufcient
airow, then a larger tool may be
required.
When drilling wood, place the bit 3.
at the point to be drilled. If you are
drilling a hard, smooth surface, use
a punch to mark the drill location.
Grasp the drill rmly with both hands
while slowly squeezing the Trigger
(8). Never force the tool. Only apply
light pressure when horizontal drilling.
Note: When drilling plastics or plastic coated
chip board, follow the same directions
as stated in number 9 for wood.
Note: If a bit becomes wedged into the
workpiece, remove it from the drill
and use the appropriate hand tools to
remove it.
When drilling metal, always use a 4.
punch to mark the drilling position.
Use a cutting oil with most metals, to
prolong the life of the bit and increase
the drilling action. With steel, tin, and
sheet metal use a light machine oil,
with aluminum, use paraffin. Do not
use lubricants with brass, copper, and
cast iron. Grasp the drill firmly with
both hands and follow the directions
given in #9 above.
When done drilling, release pressure 5.
on the Trigger (8). The drill will slow
to a stop. Disconnect the Air Drill
from the air compressor hose.
To prevent accidents, turn off the 6.
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
after use. Clean external surfaces
of the tool with clean, dry cloth, and
apply a thin coat of tool oil. Then
store the tool indoors out of children’s
reach.
