Design and function

This high-quality handheld drill consists of two main parts; the motor unit and the drill head unit. The motor unit comes in various speeds to suit all kind of applications. The drill head unit is available in different angles. All motor units and drill head units are interchangeable with each other and ordered separately.

In order to assemble or disassemble the angle unit to the motor unit, pull the quick change mechanism forward to unlock it.

• Service recommendations
• Preventive maintenance

Maintenance and service instructions

The service must only be done by authorized workshops or qualified service technicians.

WARNING

Polymer hazard

The vanes in this product contain PTFE (a synthetic fluoropolymer). Due to wear, there might be PTFE particles inside the product. Heated PTFE can produce fumes which may cause polymer fume fever with flu-like symptoms, especially when smoking contaminated tobacco.

Health and Safety recommendations for PTFE must be followed when handling vanes and other components:

• Do not smoke when servicing this product

• PTFE-particles must not come in contact with open fire, glow or heat

• Motor components must be washed with cleaning fluid and not blown clear with an air line

• Wash your hands before starting any other activity

Service recommendations

Preventive maintenance is recommended at regular intervals. See the detailed information on preventive maintenance. If the product is not working properly, take it out of service and inspect it.

If no detailed information about preventive maintenance is included, follow these general guidelines:

• Clean appropriate parts accurately

• Replace any defective or worn parts

Preventive maintenance

Make sure to perform a preventive maintenance every 6 months. If it is used in heavy duty conditions or not running properly, it should be removed from operation for inspection more often.

Installation requirements

• Air quality
• Air lubrication guide
• Compressed air connection

Air quality

• For optimum performance and maximum product life we recommend the use of compressed air with a maximum dew point of +10°C (50°F). We also recommend to install an Atlas Copco refrigeration type air dryer.

• Use a separate air filter which removes solid particles larger than 30 microns and more than 90% of liquid water. Install the filter as close as possible to the product and prior to any other air preparation units to avoid pressure drop.

For impulse/impact tools make sure to use lubricators adjusted for these tools. Regular lubricators will add too much oil and therefore decrease the tool performance due to too much oil in the motor.

Make sure that the hose and couplings are clean and free from dust before connecting to the tool.

Both lubricated and lubrication free products will benefit from a small quantity of oil supplied from a lubricator.

Air lubrication guide

Compressed air connection

WARNING

Risk of severe injury

Air under pressure can cause injury.

• Always shut off the air supply when not in use or before any adjustments.

• Drain the hose of air pressure and disconnect the tool from air supply when not in use or before any adjustments.

• Always use the correct hose size and air pressure for the tool.

WARNING

Compressed Air

High air pressure can cause severe damage and bodily injury.

• Do not exceed maximum air pressure.

• Make sure that there are no damaged or loose hoses or fittings.

For correct air pressure and hose size, see section Technical data.

Make sure that the hose and couplings are clean and free from dust before connecting to the tool.

WARNING

Risk of severe injury

• Always shut off the air supply when not in use or before any adjustments.

• Drain the hose of air pressure and disconnect the tool from air supply when not in use or before any adjustments.

• Always use the correct hose size and air pressure for the tool.

WARNING

Risk of Injury

Do not start the tool before assuring that the drill head is correctly assembled to the drive unit. An incorrectly assembled drill head may come loose with high speed and cause bodily injury and/or property damage.

• Check that you hear a click sound to ensure that the units have been correctly assembled.

• Check that the lock ring is flush with the nut.

Ergonomic guidelines

Consider your workstation as you read through this list of general ergonomic guidelines and see if you can identify areas for improvement in posture, component placement, or work environment.

• Take frequent breaks and change work positions frequently.

• Adapt the workstation area to your needs and the work task.

  • Adjust for convenient reach range by determining where parts or tools should be located to avoid static load.

  • Use workstation equipment such as tables and chairs appropriate for the work task.

• Avoid work positions above shoulder level or with static holding during assembly operations.

  • When working above shoulder level, reduce the load on the static muscles by reducing the weight of the tool, using for example torque arms, hose reels or weight balancers. You can also reduce the load on the static muscles by holding the tool close to the body.

  • Make sure to take frequent breaks.

  • Avoid extreme arm or wrist postures, particularly for operations requiring a degree of force.

• Adjust for convenient field of vision by minimizing movement of the eyes and head during the work task.

• Use the appropriate lighting for the work task.

• Select the appropriate tool for the work task.

• Use ear protection equipment in noisy environments.

• Use high-quality inserted tools or consumables to minimize exposure to excessive levels of vibration.

• Minimize exposure to reaction forces.

  • When cutting:

    A cut-off wheel can get stuck if the wheel is either bent or if it is not guided properly. Make sure to use the correct flanges for cut-off wheels and avoid bending the wheel during cut-off operation.

  • When drilling:

    The drill might stall when the drill bit breaks through. Makes sure you use support handles if the stall torque is too high. The safety standard ISO11148 part 3 recommends using something to absorb the reaction torque above 10 Nm for pistol grip tools and 4 Nm for straight tools.

  • When using direct-driven screw or nutrunners:

    Reaction forces depend on tool setting and joint characteristics. The ability to bear reaction forces depends on the operator’s strength and posture. Adapt the torque setting to the operator's strength and posture and use a torque arm or reaction bar if the torque is too high.

• Use dust extraction system or mouth protection mask in dusty environments.

Lubrication instructions

• Lubrication guide
• Maintenance and lubrication

Rust protection and cleaning

Water in the compressed air can cause rust. To prevent rust we strongly recommend to install an air dryer.

Water and particles can cause sticking of vanes and valves. This can be prevented by installing an air filter close to the product to avoid pressure drop.

Before longer standstills always protect your tool by adding a few drops of oil into the air inlet. Run the tool for 5–10 seconds and absorb any access oil at the air outlet in a cloth.

Lubrication guide

Maintenance and lubrication

The throttle valve, planetary gears, needle bearings and ball bearings must be lubricated with grease when the tool is dismantled at the regular maintenance. Molycote BR2 Plus gives long intervals between lubrications.

The strainer in the adapter should be cleaned regularly to prevent choking which will lead to a loss in capacity.
