WARNING

GETTING STARTED WITH THE MACHINE

• THE DRILLS ARE ONLY INTENDED FOR DRILLING METAL OR ALLOYS, WOOD, 

CERAMICS AND PLASTICS. FACOM WILL NOT BE LIABLE IF THE MACHINE IS 

USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE.

Residual Risks

The following risks are inherent to the use of drills :

- injuries caused by touching the rotating parts or hot parts of the tool.

In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the imple-

mentation of safety devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided.

These are :

- Impairment of hearing.

- Risk of squeezing fingers when changing accessories.

- Risk of personal injury due to flying particles.

- Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.

THIS MACHINE HAS NOT BEEN DESIGNED TO BE USED IN AN EXPLOSIVE 

ATMOSPHERE.

These drills are professional power tools.

DO NOT let children come into contact with the tool. Supervision is required 

when inexperienced operators use this tool.

- Young children and the infirm. This appliance is not intended for use by 

young children or infirm persons without supervision.

- This product is not intended for use by persons (including children) suffering 

from diminished physical, sensory or mental abilities; lack of experience, 

knowledge or skills unless they are supervised by person responsible for their 

safety. Children should never be left alone whith this product.

This machine and its accessories must be used in compliance with these 

instructions. Using it for any other purpose may cause a risk of danger for 

people and the environment.

• Always operate, inspect and maintain this machine in accordance with all 

regulations (local, state, federal and country), that may apply to hand held/

hand operated pneumatic machine.

• For safety, top performance, and maximum durability of parts, operate this 

machine at 90 psig (6.2 bar/620 kPa) maximum air pressure at the inlet with 

3/8” (10 mm) inside diameter air supply hose.

• Exceeding the maximum pressure of 6.2 bar will lead to the risk of danger 

such as excessive speed, breaking parts, higher torque or force that may 

destroy the machine and its accessories or the part being worked on.

• Be sure all hoses and fittings are the correct size and are tightly secured.

• Always use clean dry and lubricated air at 90 psig maximum air pressure. 

Dust, corrosive fumes and/or excessive moisture can ruin the motor of an air 

machine.

• Do not lubricate machine with flammable or volatile liquids such as 

kerosene, diesel or petrol.

• Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged label.

• The use of a hose whip is recommended.

A coupler connected directly to the air inlet increases tool bulk and decreases 

tool maneuverability.

• Don’t abuse hoses or connectors.

• The pneumatic machine must be fitted and connected to the compressed air 

network via quick disconnects to facilitate shutdown in the event of danger.

• When the life of the tool has expired, it is recommended that the 

machine be disassembled, degreased and parts be separated by material 

so that they can be recycled.

• For multiple hazards, read and understand the safety instructions 

before installing, operating, repairing, maintaining, changing accessories 

on, or working near the drill or tapper. Failure to do so can result in 

serious bodily injury.

• Only qualified and trained operators should install, adjust or use the 

drill or tapper.

• Do not modify this drill or tapper. Modifications can reduce the effecti-

veness of safety measures and increase the risks to the operator.

• Do not discard the safety instructions; give them to the operator.

• Do not use the drill or tapper if it has been damaged.

• Be aware that the failure of the workpiece, or accessories, or even of 

the inserted tool itself can generate high-velocity projectiles.

• Ensure that the workpiece is securely fixed.

• Operators and maintenance personnel shall be physically able to handle 

the bulk, weight and power of the tool.

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

• Release the start-and-stop device in the case of an interruption of the 

energy supply.

• Avoid direct contact with the inserted tool during and after use, as it can 

be hot or sharp.

• Slips, trips and falls are major causes of workplace injury. Be aware of 

slippery surfaces caused by the useof the tool and also of trip hazards 

caused by the air line or hydraulic hose.

• Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. There can be hidden 

hazards, such as electricity or other utility lines.

• Ensure that there are no electrical cables, gas pipes, etc., that can cause 

a hazard if damaged by use of the tool.

• Operate and maintain the drill or tapper as recommended in these 

instructions, to minimize dust and fume emissions.

• Direct the exhaust so as to minimize disturbance of dust in a dust-filled 

environment.

• Where dust or fumes are created, the priority shall be to control them 

at the point of emission.

• Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted tool as recom-

mended in the instructions handbook to prevent an unnecessary increase 

in dust or fumes.

• Exposure to high noise levels can cause permanent, disabling hearing 

loss and other problems, such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling or 

humming in the ears). Therefore a risk assessment and implementation 

of appropriate controls for these hazards are essential.

• Appropriate controls to reduce the risk may include actions such as 

damping materials to prevent workpieces from «ringing».

• Operate and maintain the drill or tapper as recommended in the ins-

tructions handbook, to prevent an unnecessary increase in the noise level.

• Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted tool as 

recommended in the instructions handbook, to prevent an unnecessary 

increase in noise.
