 Air Inlet

AIR SUPPLY

Tools operate on a wide range of air pressures. It is recommended 

that air pressure of these tools measures 90 psig at the tool with the 

trigger fully depressed and no load applied to the tool. Higher pressure 

(over 90 psig; 6.2 bar) raises performance beyond the rated capacity 

of the tool, which will shorten tool life and could cause injury.
Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or water in the 

air line will cause damage to the tool. Drain water from air lines 

and compressor prior to running tool. Clean the air inlet filter screen 

weekly. The recommended hookup procedure can be viewed in the 

above figure.
The air inlet used for connecting air supply has standard 1/4" NPT. 

Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long 

air hoses (over 25 feet). Minimum hose diameter should be 3/8" I.D. 

and fittings should have the same inside dimensions and be tightly 

secured. 
Ensure an accessible emergency shut off valve has been installed in 

the air supply line and make others aware of its location.

LUBRICATION

Lubricate the air motor daily with high quality air tool oil. If no air 

line oiler is used, run 1/2 oz. of oil through the tool. The oil can 

be squirted into the tool air inlet or into the hose at the nearest  

connection to the air supply, then run the tool. A rust inhibitive oil is 

acceptable for air tools.

WARNING:

 After an air tool has been lubricated, oil will discharge 

through the exhaust port during the first few seconds of operation. 

The exhaust port must be covered with a towel before applying air 

pressure to prevent serious injury.

OPERATION

Locate center of new hole by using a center punch. Place drill bit tip 

in punch mark. Hold drill square with work and start motor. Apply 

steady, even pres sure. Do not force. Too much pressure can cause 

bit to break or over heat. Too little pressure will keep bit from cutting 

and cause it to overheat.  Reduce pres sure just before bit cuts 

through the work. When bit has pen e trat ed work and is spin ning 

freely, take it from the work while the motor is run ning, then turn 

off drill. If the drill jams in the work, release throttle immediately.  

Dis con nect  the  drill  before  re mov ing  bit  and  de ter min ing cause of trou-

ble. Do not attempt to free the bit by starting and stopping the motor.
The reversing valve is used to change the direction of the tool.  

When the valve is out, the tool is in forward or right hand direction. 

When the valve is pushed in, the tool is in reverse or left hand 

direction.
Drill bits can bind suddenly and cause rotation of the work piece or tool, 

causing injury to arms and/or shoulders. Enough torque is generated 

to cause falls.  Always use sharp bits. Use less downward pressure at 

breakthrough.
Never use dull, chipped or damaged accessories. Never cool a hot 

accessory in water as brittleness and early failure can result,  Accessory 

breakage or tool damage may result from prying. Take smaller bites to 

avoid getting stuck.

NOTE:  Always turn off the air supply, drain hose of air pressure 

and detach tool from air supply before installing, removing or 

adjusting any accessory on this tool, or before performing any 

maintenance on this tool.
NOTE:  During operation, safety goggles must always be worn to 

guard against flying debris (users and bystanders).

TROUBLESHOOTING

Other factors outside the tool may cause loss of power or erratic 

action. Reduced compressor output, excessive drain on the air 

line, moisture or restrictions in air pipes or the use of hose 

connections of improper size or poor conditions may reduce 

air supply. Grit or gum deposits in the tool may cut power 

and may be corrected by cleaning the air strainer and flushing  

out the tool with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE #10 and  

kerosene. If outside 

conditions are in order, 

disconnect tool from 

hose and take tool to 

your nearest authorized 

service center.
