INTENDED USE
This tool is intended to be used with drill bits for drilling holes in wood, metal and other materials.
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.
Move the slide to the right for right hand rotation and to the left for left hand rotation. To ensure maximum performance, make sure the slide is in the full 
left or right position.
RAPID REVERSE OPERATION
The spindle rotation is controlled by the button on the top, rear of the tool
Press, and hold, the button to operate the tool in reverse spindle rotation. Release the button to operate the tool in forward rotation (right hand).
To ensure maximum performance, make sure the button is fully pressed, or fully released.
AIR SUPPLY
The	efficiency	and	life	of	this	tool	depend	on	the	proper	supply	of	clean,	dry	air	at	a	maximum	of	90	PSI.	The	use	of	an	air	line	filter,	pressure	regulator,	
and lubricator is recommended.
Before connecting to tools, blow out the air line to remove water and dirt that may have accumulated.
HOSE AND HOSE CONNECTIONS
The	air	supply	hose	recommended	is	3/8"	(10mm)	I.D.	If	an	extension	hose	is	necessary,	use	1/2"	(13mm)	ID	hose	with	couplings	not	less	than	3/8"	
(10mm)	I.D.
LUBRICATION
For	maximum	performance	and	tool	life,	an	air	line	lubricator,	set	to	deliver	2	drops	per	minute,	is	recommended.	SIOUX	No.	288	Air	Motor	Oil	is	
recommended.
If	an	airline	lubrication	is	not	used,	it	is	recommended	that	the	tool	be	oiled	daily	before	use	to	improve	performance.	Add	2-4	drops	of	air	motor	oil	and	
run	the	tool	for	10-20	seconds	to	distribute	oil	through	the	tool.
Lubricate	the	gears	through	the	grease	fitting	with	Sioux	1232A	grease	after	100	hours	of	operation.
MAINTENANCE
Water, dust and other airline contaminants can cause rust and vane sticking. For long periods between tool use, flush the tool with a few drops of oil 
and run for 10 seconds. This will help remove contaminants and reduce the formation of rust.
WARNING
Disconnect tool from air supply before installing or removing drill bit or making any adjustments
