Safety Information (continued)

AIR COMPRESSOR AND AIR TOOL SAFETY

1. Risk of Bursting. Do not adjust the regulator to result in output

pressure greater than the marked maximum pressure of this air

tool.

2. Ensure the hose is free of obstructions or snags. Entangled or

snarled hoses can cause loss of balance or footing and may

become damaged.

3. Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose attached.

4. Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible warning

label.

5. Do not continue to use a tool or hose that leaks air or does not

function properly.

6. Never direct a jet of compressed air toward people or animals.

7. Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is

dusty.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,

grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains

chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other

reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

Lead from lead based paint, crystalline silica from bricks

and cement and other masonry products, arsenic and

chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from those 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 specically designed to lter out microscopic particles.

Important Warnings - Drills

1. Remove the chuck key before drill starts.

2. High reaction torque can be developed in the case of stalling, which can be caused by excessive loads being applied to

the drill bit, by the drill bit snagging on the material being drilled into or by the drill bit breaking through the material being

drilled.

3. In cases where the means to absorb the reaction torque are requested, it is recommended to use a suspension arm

whenever possible. If that is not possible, side handles are recommended for straight-case tools and pistol grip tools. In any

case, it is recommended to use a means to absorb the reaction torque above 4 Nm for straight tools and above 10 Nm for

pistol grip tools.

4. Keep hands away from the rotating chuck and drill bit.

Installation

Cleaning the air hose

Ƒ A 3/8" air hose is required, with a maximum length of 25 ft.

Ƒ Clean the air hose of accumulated dust and moisture

before connecting it to the air supply.

NOTE: If a longer air hose is required, connect a 1/2"

air hose to the 3/8" air hose to ensure the drill has the

necessary air supply.

Recommended Air Line Set-Up

Part Description

A Air Tool

B Quick Plug

C Quick Coupler

D Air Hose

E In-line Regulator

F In-line Lubricator

G In-line Filter

H Air Compressor

Ensure the air line is shut-off and drained of air before removing this tool for service or changing sockets. This will prevent the tool from

operating if the throttle is accidentally engaged.

LUBRICATION

Ƒ An in-line lter-regulator-lubricator is recommended as it increases tool life and keeps the tool in sustained operation.

Ƒ Regularly check and ll the in-line lubricator with air tool oil. Avoid using excessive amounts of oil.

Ƒ Adjust the in-line lubricator by placing a sheet of paper next to the tool’s exhaust ports and holding the throttle open approximately 30

seconds. The lubricator is properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper.

Ƒ If it is necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.), generously lubricate the tool through the air

inlet. Run the tool for approximately 30 seconds to ensure the oil is evenly distributed throughout the tool. Store the tool in a clean and

dry environment.

Ƒ Recommended lubricants: Air tool oil or any other high grade turbine oil containing moisture absorbent, rust inhibitors, metal wetting

agents, and an EP (extreme pressure) additive.

Maintenance

FLORIDA-PNEUMATIC.COM

Please contact 1-800-356-3392 for further assistance.

Operation

Operating the drill

Ƒ This Drill is designed to operate on 90 PSIG. Lower

pressure (below 90 PSIG) will reduce performance of

the tool. Higher air pressure (over 90 PSIG) raises the

performance of the tool beyond its rated capacity and

could cause serious damage to tool and user.

Changing the rotation direction

Ƒ The direction of the bit rotation is reversible.

Ƒ Control the rotation direction by moving the side-mounted

switch to F (forward) or R (reverse) as required for the

operation.

Installing and removing the bits

WARNING: Disconnect tool from air supply before servicing

or changing accessories.

To install the bits:

Ƒ Remove the air supply from the reversible drill.

Ƒ Insert the drill bit as far as possible into the opening.

Ƒ Using an appropriately sized chuck key, turn the chuck key

clockwise to securely tighten the drill bit, tap, or reamer in

the drill chuck.

Ƒ Always remove the chuck key before connecting the drill to

the air line.

To remove the bits:

Ƒ Remove the air supply from the reversible drill.

Ƒ Using an appropriately sized chuck key, turn the chuck key

counterclockwise to loosen the drill bit, tap, or reamer in

the drill chuck.

Ƒ Remove the bit.

Driving or removing screws

Ƒ Place the rotation direction switch in the correct position

(forward or reverse) for the operation.

Ƒ Hold the reversible drill with one hand.

Ƒ Place the bit on the screw head and slowly depress the

switch trigger. Start the bit slowly for more control.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Solution

The tool runs slowly or will not

operate.

There is grit or gum in the tool. Flush the tool with air tool oil or gum solvent.

The tool is out of oil. Lubricate the tool according to the lubrication

instructions in this manual.

The air pressure is low.

Ƒ Adjust the regulator on the tool to the

maximum setting.

Ƒ Adjust the compressor regulator to the tool’s

maximum setting of 90 psi.

The air hose leaks. Tighten and seal the hose ttings with pipe thread

tape if leaks are found.

The air pressure drops.

Ƒ Ensure the hose is the proper size. Long

hoses or tools using large volumes of air may

require a hose with an I.D. of ½" or larger

depending on the total length of the hose.

Ƒ Do not use a multiple number of hoses

connected together with a quick connect

tting. This causes additional pressure drops

and reduces the tool power. Directly connect

the hoses together.

There is a worn rotor blade in the motor. Replace the rotor blade.

There is a worn ball bearing in the motor. Remove and inspect the bearing for rust, dirt, and

grit. Replace or clean and grease the bearing with

bearing grease.

There is moisture blowing out

of the tool’s exhaust.

There is water in the tank. Drain the tank. (See the air compressor manual

for instructions.) Lubricate the tool and run it until

water is not evident. Lubricate the tool again and

run for 1-2 seconds.

Limited Warranty

Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation warrants its tools to be free from defects in materials and workmanship. Tools thought

to be defective should be returned to the factory, or an authorized service center, transportation charges prepaid, for examination and

consequent repair or replacement. This warranty does not cover damage to tools arising from alteration, abuse, or use for other than their

intended purpose and does not cover any repairs or replacement made by anyone other than Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation

or its authorized repair stations.

The duration of the Warranty and any other Warranty including, but not limited to, any implied Warranty of merchantability is expressly

limited to two years, beginning from the date of the delivery to the original user. The obligation of Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing

Corporation under any Warranty, express or implied, is limited solely to the repair or replacement at its factory or authorized repair station

of any part which shall prove defective.
