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.
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.
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.
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 specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
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.
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
1
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.

Maintenance
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 filter-regulator-lubricator is recommended as it increases tool life and keeps the tool in sustained operation.
Ƒ Regularly check and fill 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.

Operation
1
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.
3
Installing and removing the bits
WARNING: Disconnect tool from air supply before servicing
or changing accessories.
To install the bits:
2
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.
4
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.
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.

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 fittings 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
fitting. This causes additional pressure drops
and reduces the tool power. Directly connect
the hoses together.
There is moisture blowing out
of the tool’s exhaust.
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 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
