Air supply connection
• This tool should be connected to a clean, dry air supply with inline oiler
and water separator
• Do not allow supply pressure to exceed the maximum stated (see
‘Specifications’)
• Ensure that water is drained from air system daily
• Ensure that all parts of the system (hoses, couplers, etc.) are correctly
rated for the air pressure to be used
Fitting and removing drill bits and accessories
WARNING: Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before fitting or
removing drill bits or other accessories.
WARNING: NEVER run the drill while tightening the chuck or changing the
direction.

the no load speed of this tool.
1. Open the chuck by rotating the chuck collar anticlockwise
2. Insert the required drill bit or accessory
3. Close the chuck by rotating it clockwise. Tighten by hand
Note: Ensure the drill bit or accessory runs centrally and repeat above steps
to correct the position of the bit in the chuck if necessary.
Setting tool power
• The maximum tool speed/power can be adjusted by reducing/increasing
the air supply pressure within the range specified in ‘Specifications’
Operation

of time. This will shorten its life.

WARNING: Always disconnect from the air supply and depressurise before

Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts
to wear quickly, and shorten the machine’s service life. Clean the body of
your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth
IMPORTANT: There is very little that can go wrong with your air tool and it
should be noted that when an air tool fails to work it is generally because
the internal workings have corroded due to dirty, wet air and failure to
follow the instructions given below.
Daily maintenance procedure: Disconnect from the air supply, pour the
equivalent of a tablespoon of oil into the air intake. Operate the machine at
low speed to thoroughly lubricate all internal workings.
• If the machine is in constant use or used for long periods at a time, a
combined filter/lubricator must be fitted. There must be an air filter fitted
at all times
• Use air tool oil. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE NORMAL
ENGINE OIL
• Failure to comply with the operating and maintenance instructions may
invalidate the guarantee
Storage
• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children
Disposal
• As with other power tools, air tools should not be disposed of with
household waste
• Air tools may contain traces of tool oil and other lubricants and so must
be recycled accordingly
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct
way to dispose of power tools
