●

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

●

Always disconnect air supply when changing drill bits.

●

Release trigger to stop tool.

●

When job is complete, turn the air compressor off and store as described in the air

compressor operator manual.

Tips

●

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.

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.
