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
