Workpiece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the air hose along a safe 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.

General Operating Instructions

1. If an automatic oiler is not used, 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.
2. Place the bit at the point to be drilled.
Note: If drilling metal or another hard, smooth surface,
use a punch to mark the drill location.
Metal cutting:
Use a cutting oil with some metals to prolong the
life of the bit and increase the drilling action.
•  Steel, tin, or sheet metal: Use a light machine oil.
•  Aluminum: Use paraffin.
•  Brass, copper, or cast iron: Do not use a lubricant.
3. Grasp the drill firmly with both hands while slowly
squeezing the Trigger (8). Do not force the drill.
Only apply light pressure when drilling.

3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be hazardous objects
(such as utility lines or foreign objects) nearby
that will present a hazard while working.
4. If the tool requires more force to accomplish
the task, verify that the tool receives sufficient,
unobstructed airflow (CFM) and increase the
pressure (PSI) output of the regulator up to the
maximum air pressure rating of this tool.
cAUTION! TO pREVENT INJURy FROM
TOOL OR AccESSORy FAILURE:
Do not exceed the tool's
maximum air pressure rating.
If the tool still does not have sufficient force
at maximum pressure and sufficient airflow,
then a larger tool may be required.
5. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool, detach
the air supply, safely discharge any residual
air pressure in the tool, and release the trigger
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.
