PREPARING DRILL FOR USE
3.1.
Air Supply
Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig 1.
3.1.1. Ensure drill air valve (or trigger) is in the "off" position before connecting to the air supply.
3.1.2. You will require an air pressure of 90psi, and an air flow according to specification.
3.1.3. WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90 psi while operating
the drill. Too high an air pressure and unclean air will shorten the product life due to
excessive wear, and may be dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
3.1.4. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the drill.
3.1.5. Clean air inlet filter weekly.
3.1.6. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8
metres). The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4" I.D. and fittings must have the same
inside dimensions.
3.1.7. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear, and make certain
that all connections are secure.
3.2.
Couplings.
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the drill.
To overcome this, connect a leader hose to the drill. A quick change coupling may then be
used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose. See fig 1 & 2.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions before use.
4.1.
Insert the chuck key and turn anti-clockwise to open the chuck, insert drill bit and turn the key
clockwise to lock drill bit.
4.2.
Connect the drill to the air hose as in chapter 3.
4.3.
Push the safety lock forward and depress the throttle lever to operate the drill.
DO NOT allow drill to free run for an extended period of time as this will shorten its life.
