SE144 3/8" Reversible Air Drill
OPERATION
Always turn off the air supply, drain hose of air pressure and detach
tool from air supply before installing, removing or adjusting any part or
accessory on this tool, or before performing any maintenance on this
tool.
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.
NOTE: During operation, safety goggles should always be worn to guard
against flying debris (users and bystanders).
AIR SUPPLY
Tools operate on a wide range of air pressures. It is recommended that air
pressure 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 the 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 FIG. 1.
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 AND MAINTENANCE
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.
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
condition 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 oil and kerosene. If outside
conditions are in order, and the tool continues erratic action or low power,
disconnect tool from hose and contact your nearest authorized service center.
