When using a drill, sudden and unexpected tool movement can occur:
• When the drill bit breaks through the material being drilled.
• If the tool stalls because of being pushed too hard.
• If the bit snags on the material being drilled.
Be sure your body position allows you to have control of the tool at all times. Make sure your footing is secure.
Sudden and unexpected tool movement can cause injury.
Using excessive force on a tool makes it hard to control.
Do not force tool.
Hard to control tool can cause injury.
Taping or wiring the throttle valve in the “ON” position will prevent the tool from shutting off if the tool should jam or malfunction or if
anything unexpected happens.
Do not wire or tape down the “On-Off” valve of any power tool.
Tools that are prevented from shutting off can cause injury.
Operators and maintenance personnel shall be physically able to handle the weight and power of the tool.
All tools that are supplied with an auxiliary handle should only be used when that handle is in place and secured.
Poorly maintained and lubricated tools can fail unexpectedly.
Keep tool properly lubricated and in good repair at all times. Use only Sioux Air Motor Oil No. 288. See the tool’s information
sheet to find out what other greases and oils to use. Do not drop the end of the hose on the floor where it will pick up dirt and
transport it into the tool. See information sheet for any additional maintenance requirements.
Unexpected tool failures can cause injury.
Air hoses can come loose from power tools and whip.
Inspect and do not use tools with loose or damaged air hoses or fittings.
Whipping air hoses can cause injury.
Air hoses that are not oil resistant or are not rated for the working pressure can burst.
Make sure that all air hoses are oil resistant and rated for the working pressure. Air under pressure can cause severe injury.
Never direct air at yourself or anyone else. Cold air such as exhaust air should always be directed away from the hands. Never
carry a tool by its hose. Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) are used, lock pins shall be installed and whip
check safety cables shall be used to help prevent possible hose-to-tool and hose-to-hose failure.
Air hoses that burst can cause injury.
Tools not operated at proper air pressure can operate erratically.
Do not exceed a maximum air pressure of 90 psig/6.2 bar or as stated on the tool’s nameplate or operating instructions. Use an
air regulator to maintain proper air pressure.
Erratic operation in power tools can cause injury.
Improperly repaired tools perform unpredictably.
Do not modify the tool.
Repair tools at an Authorized Sioux Service Center.
Never use a damaged tool.
Tools that perform unpredictably can cause injury.
Tools left connected to the air supply can start unexpectedly.
Always remove tool from air supply and activate trigger to bleed air line before making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or doing any maintenance or service on tool. Make it a habit to check to see that all adjusting keys and wrenches have been
removed from tool before turning it on. Release the trigger in the case of an interruption of air supply.
Tools starting unexpectedly and flying keys and wrenches can cause injury. Always ensure that the work piece is securely fixed.
Working in poorly lit areas makes it hard to see hazards.
Keep work area well lit.
Poorly lit work areas can cause injury.
Children are attracted to work areas.
Keep children away. All visitors must keep a safe distance away from work area.
Children in work areas can be injured.
Unauthorized or untrained personnel can misuse unattended tools.
Store idle tools in a dry, high or locked-up place, out of the reach of children.
Misused tools can cause injury.
Tools with the actuator left in the “ON” position when an unexpected air pressure loss occurs can start unexpectedly when the air
pressure is restored.
Release the actuator if an unexpected loss of air pressure occurs.
Unexpected tool starts can cause injury.
Tools with the actuator left in the “on” position can cause unexpected starts when the tool is connected to the air supply.
Be sure actuator is off before hooking up air.
Unexpected starts can cause injury.
The use of any accessory with this tool not provided or specified by Sioux Tools can perform unpredictably.
Use only accessories provided or specified by Sioux Tools.
Tools that perform unpredictably can cause injury.
When disposing of a tool, do it in a way that does not harm personnel or the environment.
INTENDED USE
This tool is intended to be used with drill bits for drilling holes in wood, metal and other materials. Any other use is strictly forbidden.
GENERAL OPERATION
This tool is equipped with a teasing throttle. By slightly depressing the trigger the chuck will rotate slowly. This is useful for starting a drill bit without first
spotting with a punch. The tool will run at maximum speed when the trigger is fully depressed.
STANDARD REVERSE OPERATION
The spindle rotation is controlled by the slide on the top, rear of the tool. To ensure maximum performance, make sure the slide is in the full left or right position.
Move the slide fully to the right for right hand (clockwise) rotation of the chuck.
Move the slide fully to the left for left hand (counterclockwise) rotation of the chuck.
