Maintenance – Sealey SA24 User Manual
Page 3

WARNING! Disconnect drill from air supply before changing drill bit, servicing or performing
maintenance. Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be
dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
5.1. Lubricate the drill daily with a few drops of good grade air tool oil, such as Sealey ATO/500 or
ATO/1000, dripped into the air inlet before use or dispensed automatically through an air system oiler,
such as Sealey model SA100L or SA1/L.
5.2. Clean the drill after use and change the bit when worn or damaged.
5.3. Loss of power or erratic action may be due to the following:
a) Excessive drain on the air supply. Moisture or restriction in the air line. Incorrect size or type of hose
connectors. To remedy check the air supply and follow instructions in Section 3.
b) Grit or gum deposits in the drill may also reduce performance. Flush the drill with gum solvent
oil or an equal mixture of SAE No 10 oil and kerosene. Allow to dry before use.
If you continue to experience problems, contact your local Sealey service agent.
5.4. For a full service contact your local Sealey service agent.
5.5. When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean drill and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.

MAINTENANCE
4.3.2. Ensure the drill is turning in the forward direction by checking that the lever adjacent to the trigger is
next to the forward symbol (F). If not, push the lever over to the forward position.
4.3.3. Hold tool firmly and place the bit tip to the point to be drilled.
4.3.4. Depress the trigger to start drill. Move the drill bit into the work piece applying only enough pressure to
keep the bit cutting.
DO NOT force or apply side pressure to elongate the hole.
4.3.5. If the material to be drilled is free standing it should be secured in a vice or with clamps to keep it from
turning as the drill bit rotates.
4.3.6. When drilling metals, use a light oil on the drill bit to keep it from overheating. Oil will prolong life of bit
and improve the drilling action.
4.3.7. For hard smooth surfaces use a centre punch to mark desired hole location. This will prevent bit from
slipping as your start to drill.
4.3.8. A pilot hole may be necessary to assist the final drill size through the work piece. Lock a pilot drill
(smaller size drill than the finished hole size) into the chuck. Follow steps 4.3.1. to 4.3.3. above and drill
a pilot hole in the middle of the centre punch mark where final hole is to be drilled. Insert the final sized
bit in chuck. Hold drill firmly, place the bit at the entrance of the pilot hole and depress the trigger.
WARNING! Be prepared for drill binding or break through. When these situations
occur the drill has a tendency to grab and kick in the opposite direction which could
cause loss of control. If you are not prepared, this loss of control can result in damage and/
or personal injury.
4.3.9
If the bit jams in the workpiece or if the drill stalls, release the trigger switch immediately. Remove
the bit from the workpiece and determine the reason for jamming. It may be necessary to reverse the
direction of rotation by moving the lever adjacent to the trigger to the reverse (R) position.
