Important Operating Instructions
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 trip
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.
3. Secure a loose work piece 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.
WORK AREA SET-UP
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.
Do not use detergent oil.
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 parrafin
• Brass, copper, or cast iron: Do not use a lubricant
3. Grasp the drill firmly with both hands while slowly squeezing the trigger. Do not force the
drill. Only apply light pressure when drilling.
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.
