Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection systems, and hearing protection when appropriate. This applies to all persons in the work area.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before connecting the tool to the air supply or turning on the tool. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may cause personal injury.

Secure the work with clamps or a vise instead of your hand when practical. This safety precaution allows for proper tool operation using both hands.

USE COMPRESSED AIR ONLY. Use clean, dry, and regulated compressed air to power the tool. Do not use oxygen, carbon dioxide, or any other bottled gas as a power source for this tool.

Lubricate the tool before its initial use and before and after each additional use.

Do not force the tool. Pneumatic tools do a better and safer job when used in the manner for which they are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct tool for the job.

Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the tool will operate properly and perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never operate the tool with a damaged part.

Do not use a tool with a malfunctioning switch. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the power switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative before using.

Disconnect the air supply from the tool and place the switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

Store the tool when it is not in use. Store it in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children. Inspect the tool for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.

Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your tool. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used with another tool. Never use an accessory that has a lower operating speed or operating pressure than the tool itself.

Keep guards in place and in working order. Never operate the tool without the guards in place.

Do not leave the tool running unattended.

Inspect the tool, hose, and accessories for damage or excessive wear before each use. If you find damage do not use the tool.

The label on the tool provides the following information:

ITEM# 47909

1/2″ REVERSIBLE AIR DRILL

700 RPM

MADE IN TAIWAN

It also includes a warning: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY PLEASE FULLY READ AND UNDERSTAND THE OWNER’S MANUAL. ALWAYS USE THE PROPER PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. DO NOT EXCEED 90 PSI.

The air supply must be clean while operating the tool. Unclean air will cause excessive wear, shorten the life of the tool, and may cause damage and/or personal injury.

Operating the tool at pressures over the rated capacity may cause severe damage and/or personal injury. Do not exceed 90 PSI while operating the tool. Do not use an accessory rated at a lower maximum pressure than the tool itself.

An optimal setup includes an inline filter, regulator, and oiler.

Make sure that the air valve (or trigger) is in the OFF position before connecting to the air supply.

Do not exceed an air pressure of 90 PSI.

Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line can damage the tool.

Clean the air inlet filter weekly.

Keep the hose away from heat, oil, and sharp objects. Check the hose for wear and make certain that all connections are secure before every use.

1. Wrap the 1/4 in. air nipple with pipe thread seal tape (not included), and then thread it into the air inlet on the air tool.

2. Connect the 3/8 in. I.D. air hose (not included) to a quick-connect coupler (not included) and then to the air nipple.

3. Turn on the air compressor and set it to 90 PSI. Do not exceed the recommended air pressure of 90 PSI.

4. Check the air connection for leaks.

Air tools require lubrication throughout their lifetime. The air motor and bearing use compressed air to power the tool. Compressed air contains moisture which may rust the air motor and other internal parts if the tool is not kept lubricated. Failure to lubricate the tool properly will dramatically shorten the life of the tool and will void the warranty.

The tool must be manually lubricated before its initial use. If you are not using a lubricated air supply, the tool must be manually lubricated before and after each use, as well as after each hour of continual use.

To manually lubricate the tool, add a few drops of pneumatic tool oil to the tool’s air line connection.

WARNING: Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before connecting the tool to the air supply or turning on the tool. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may cause personal injury.

Inspect the tool for damage or excessive wear.

If you are not using a lubricated air supply, lubricate the tool.

Drain water from the air compressor tank and condensation from the air lines.

Connect the air supply to the tool. Do not exceed the maximum air pressure of 90 PSI.

To start the tool, press the trigger. The more the trigger is pressed, the faster the tool runs. To stop the tool, release the trigger.

To switch between forward and reverse, flip the lever near the trigger to F (forward) or R (reverse).

Disconnect the air supply from the tool.

If you are not using a lubricated air supply, lubricate the tool.

Store the tool.

WARNING: To avoid risk of severe injury, disconnect the air supply from the tool before performing any maintenance, cleaning, or inspection.

Maintain your tool. It is recommended that the general condition of any tool be examined before it is used. Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a program of conscientious repair and maintenance in accordance with the recommended procedures found in this manual. Keep all cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

For cleaning, use only soap and a damp cloth to clean your tool. Many household cleaners are harmful to plastics and other insulation. Never let liquid get inside the tool.

If any abnormal vibrations or noise occurs, immediately turn the tool off and have the problem corrected before further use. Have necessary repairs made by qualified service personnel.

Not all product components are available for replacement. The illustrations provided are a convenient reference to the location and position of parts in the assembly sequence.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

lead from lead-based paints,

crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
