5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
5.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOL USE
When using any type of power tool there are steps that should be taken to make sure that you, as
the user, remain safe.
Common sense and a respect for the tool will help reduce the risk of injury.
Read the instruction manual fully. Do not attempt any operation until you have read and
understood this manual.
Most important you must know how to safely start and stop this machine, especially in an
emergency.
Keep the work area tidy and clean. Attempting to clear clutter from around the machine during use
will reduce your concentration. Mess on the floor creates a trip hazard. Any liquid spilt on the floor
could result in you slipping.
Find a suitable location. If the machine is bench mounted; the location should provide good
natural light or artificial lighting as a replacement. Avoid damp and dust locations as it will have a
negative effect on the machine’s performance.
If the machine is portable; do not expose the tool to rain. In all cases do not operate power tools
near any flammable materials.
Keep bystanders away. Children, onlookers and passers by must be restricted from entering the
work area for their own protection. The barrier must extend a suitable distance from the tool user.
Disconnect and house all power tools that are not in use. An air tool should never be left
unattended while connected to the power supply. They must be housed in a suitable location,
away locked up and from children.
Do not overload or misuse the tool. All tools are designed for a purpose and are limited to what
they are capable of doing. Do not attempt to use a power tool (or adapt it in any way) for an
application it is not designed for. Select a tool appropriate for the size of the job. Overloading a
tool will result in tool failure and user injury: This covers the use of accessories.
Dress properly. Loose clothing, long hair and jewellery are all dangerous because they can
become entangled in moving machinery: This can also result in parts of body being pulled into the
machine.
Clothing should be close fitted, with any long hair tired back and jewellery and neck ties removed.
Footwear must be fully enclosed and have a nonslip sole.
- 6 -
5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Wear personal protective equipment (PPE). Dust, noise, vibration and swarf can all be
dangerous if not suitably protected against. If the work involving the power tool creates dust or
fumes; wear a dust mask. Vibration to the hand, caused by operating some tools for longer
periods must be protected against. Wear vibration reducing gloves and allow long breaks between
uses. Protect against dust and swarf by wearing approved safety goggles or a face shield. These
are some of the more common hazards and preventions; however, always find out what hazards
are associated with the machine/work process and wear the most suitable protective equipment
available.
Do not breathe contaminated air. If the work creates dust or fumes; connect the machine (if
possible) to an extraction system either locally or remotely. Working outdoors can also help if
possible.
Move the machine as instructed. If the machine is hand held, do not carry it by the air line. If
the product is heavy; employ a second or third person to help move it safely or use a mechanical
device. Always refer to the instructions for the correct method.
Do not overreach. Extending your body too far can result in a loss of balance and you falling.
This could be from a height or onto a machine and will result in injury.
Maintain your tools correctly. A well maintained tool will do the job safely. Replace any
damaged or missing parts immediately with original parts from the manufacturer. As applicable;
keep blades sharp; moving parts clean, oiled or greased; handles clean; and emergency devices
working.
Wait for the machine to stop. Unless the machine is fitted with a safety brake; some parts may
continue to move due to momentum. Wait for all parts to stop; then disconnect it from the air line
before making any adjustments, carrying out maintenance operations or just finishing using the
tool.
Remove and check setting tools. Some machinery requires the use of additional tools or keys
to set, load or adjust the power tool. Before starting the power tool always check to make certain
they have been removed and are safely away from the machine.
Prevent unintentional starting. Before connecting any machine in to the air supply, make sure
the switch is in the OFF position. If the machine is portable; do not hold the machine near the
switch and take care when putting the machine down; that nothing can operate the switch.
Concentrate and stay alert. Distractions are likely to cause an accident. Never operate a power
tool if you are under the influence of drugs (prescription or otherwise), including alcohol or if you
are feeling tired. Being disorientated will result in an accident.

8. AIR SUPPLY
8.1 AIR TOOL OIL SPECIFICATION
Failure to follow these instructions will lead to premature malfunction of the equipment which is not
covered by the guarantee.
Air tool oil viscosity refers to it’s properties to flow and how it reacts with heat. A low viscosity is
thinner than a high viscosity.
Air tool oil becomes thinner as it heats so choosing the right viscosity is essential. If the viscosity is
too low it may provide insufficient lubrication when heated. Equally, if it is too high, the fluid may
provide excessive resistance to move through the lines when cold.
The ISO (International Standards Organisation) viscosity grading system measures the kinematic
viscosity in centistokes (cSt) at 40º which is todays accepted standard. The SAE (Society of
Automotive Engineers) viscosity grade value is based on a scale.
This equipment is suited to an ISO grade 22 – 32 (SAE grade 5W – 15W) monograde oil.
The oil must be constantly supplied to the equipment during use to ensure complete lubrication
and optimum performance is achieved. It also acts as a rust inhibitor when the equipment is not in
use.
We recommend the use of Draper Air Tool Oil:
250ml = Stock No.34679, 500ml = Stock No.34681, 1Litre = Stock No.34682.
This air tool operates at a maximum pressure of 90psi and must be controlled via a combination
pressure regulator, in-line lubricator and moisture filter such as the Draper range (see you local
Draper stockist) which with proper maintenance will ensure a constant supply of dry air and
lubricating oil at all times (see illustration below). Always check machine operating pressure before
use.
Water in the compressor tank will cause serious corrosion to your air tools and should be drained
daily to avoid excessive water in your air supply. Dirty wet air rapidly shortens the life of your air
tool.
If you are using an air tool on a hose over 25ft long it is advisable to increase the bore of the hose
to the next larger size available, i.e., ¼" increases 3⁄8". This will ensure adequate pressure and
volume of air to power the machine.

10. OPERATION
10.1 KEYLESS CHUCK
The drill is equipped with a keyless chuck,
which negates the requirement for a separate
key to secure the accessory in the jaws.
Selection of the correct accessory is dependant
on material type and the job in hand. Ensure the
selected accessory is suitable and speed
compatible with the drill.
Place the accessory into the chuck. Hold the
back of the chuck (1.1) and rotate the body (1.2)
as indicated to grip.
Warning: Prior to any drilling, carefully check
the surface for the presence of electric cable,
gas or water pipes and other dangerous or
damaging contents. If unsure do not proceed.
10.2 TRIGGER SWITCH
Note: Before connecting the drill to the air
supply reduce the line pressure according to the
specification.
Confirm direction of rotation prior to starting.
Pull trigger (7) to operate the drill. Release the
trigger to stop the drill.
Caution: Applying pressure on the machine as
the drill bit breaks through can result in loss of
control and injury.
Note: Before tool operation and work
commences ensure the compressor reservoirs
are drained of condensate along with all
connected air lines. Check and drain the air line
regulator's water trap & fill up the lubrication
reservoir.
10.3 DIRECTION CONTROL
Slide the switch (3) toward the left or right to
engage forward (F) or reverse (R).
Use the trigger to adjust the speed setting most
appropriate for the application. Only switch
direction after the chuck has finished spinning.
Warning: Changing direction with the chuck
turning will damage the gearbox.
NOTE: Disconnect from the air supply before carrying out adjustment, servicing or maintenance.

10. OPERATION
10.4 USING DRILL
DUST AND SWARF: A correctly fitted dust mask, suitable for the activity and in accordance to the
relevant standard, must be worn. For work activities involving exposure to fine wood dust, a mask
rated to at least FFP2 should be used. Swarf produced by metal drilling is extremely sharp. Take
precautions when clearing swarf. The burr left on the workpiece edge is also sharp and should be
removed with a suitable tool. Always wear safety goggles.
DRILLING WOOD AND PLASTIC: To prevent splitting around the drill holes on the reverse side,
place a piece of scrap timber under the material to be drilled.
DRILLING METAL: Metals such as sheet steel, aluminium and brass may be drilled. Mark the
point to be drilled with a centre punch to help the drill bit tip to locate. A drop of oil on the cutting
point will help aid penetration and prolong the life of the drill bit.
SCREWDRIVING: To prevent slip or damage to the screwhead, match the screwdriver bit to the
screwhead size. To remove screws, move the direction switch to the reversing position and apply
pressure to the screwhead and depress the trigger slowly.
Note: Disconnect from the air supply before carrying out adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
10.5 EXHAUST PORT
Ensure the exhaust port (6) is directed away
from yourself and that it does not agitate any
dust in close proximity.
