Safety Recommendations
For your safety and the safety of others, read and understand
the safety recommendations and operating instructions be-
fore operating any drill motor.
Always wear protective equipment:
For additional information on eye protection, read the latest edition
of ANSI Z87.1, Occupational and Educational Eye and Face
Protection. This standard is available from the American National
Standards Institute, Inc., 11 West 42nd Street, New York, N.Y.
10036.
Hearing protection is recommended in high noise areas (above
85dBA). Close proximity of additional tools, reflective surfaces,
process noises, etc., can contribute substantially to the sound
level experienced by the operator.
Follow good machine shop practices. Rotating shafts and moving
components entangle and entrap, and may result in serious
injuries. Never wear long hair, loose-fitting clothes, gloves, ties,
or jewelry when working with or near a drill of any type.
Quackenbush drills are designed to operate on 90psig (6.2 bar)
maximum air pressure using the proper size hose. Excessive air
pressure increases the loads and stresses on tool parts and drills,
and may result in breakage. The installation of a filter-regulator-
lubricator in the air supply line ahead of the tool is highly recom-
mended.
• Before the tool is connected to the air supply, the throttle
should be checked for proper operation (i.e., throttle valve
moves freely and returns to closed position).
• Before removing a tool from service or changing drill bits,
make sure the air line is shut off and drained of air. This will
prevent the tool from operating if the throttle is accidently
engaged.
• Cutting tools used with these drill motors are sharp.
Handle them carefully to avoid injury.
• The collet and mandrel must be inserted into a properly
sized pre-drilled hole before starting the tool. An improp-
erly sized pre-drilled hole prevents the mandrel from
engaging the collet and could result in slippage of the tool.
An improperly selected collet and mandrel can also result
in slippage of the tool.
Drilling or other use of this tool may produce hazardous fumes
and/or dust. To avoid adverse health effects, utilize adequate
ventilation and/or a respirator. Read the material safety data
sheet of any cutting fluids or materials involved in the drilling
process.
Some non-ferrus metal chips (or dusts) are combustible. Ex-
amples: Aluminum, magnesium, Titanium, and Zirconium. See
the material safety data sheets for combustibility of materials
drilled. Never collect spark generating material with combustible
material. Examples: Collecting both steel and aluminum or steel
and titanium.
Quackenbush drills are often used with lubricant or cooling
systems which must be properly maintained to avoid leakage.
Failure to do so can result in serious injuries from slipping on oily
surfaces.
CAUTION
!
Slip and fall hazard.
Lubricant and coolant systems must
be properly maintained to avoid
leakage.
Hoses must be organized and care
taken to avoid tripping.
