Vibration Hazards
This information shall draw attention to vibration hazards that have not been eliminated by
design and construction and remain as residual vibration risks. It shall enable employers to
identify the circumstances in which the operator is likely to be at risk from vibration exposure
If the vibration-emission value obtained using ISO 28927-3 does not adequately represent
the vibration emission in the intended uses (and foreseeable misuses) of the machine,
additional information and/or warnings shall be supplied to enable the risks arising from
vibration to be assessed and managed.
• Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the nerves and blood supply of the hands
and arms
• Wear warm clothing when working in cold conditions and keep your hands warm and dry
• If you experience numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin in your fingers or hands, stop
using the tool, inform your employer and consult a physician
• Operate and maintain the tool as recommended in the instruction handbook, to prevent an
unnecessary increase in vibration levels
• Hold the tool with a light but safe grip, taking account of the required hand reaction forces,
because the risk from vibration is generally greater when the grip force is higher
Specific Safety
Additional Safety Instructions for Pneumatic Power
Tools
Air under pressure can cause severe injury:
• Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and disconnect tool from air supply when
not in use, before changing accessories or when making repairs
• Never direct air at yourself or anyone else
• Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check for damaged or loose hoses and fittings
• Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) are used, lock pins should be installed and
whipcheck safety cables should be used to safeguard against possible hose-to-tool or hose-to-
hose connection failure
• Do not exceed the maximum air pressure stated on the tool
• Never carry an air tool by the hose
Additional Safety for Drills
• IMPORTANT: It is imperative to follow all national safety regulations concerning installation,
operation and maintenance
• Do not allow anyone under the age of 18 years to use this tool, and ensure that operators are
qualified and familiar with the operating and safety instructions
• When using the drill, use safety equipment including safety glasses or shield, ear defenders, and
protective clothing including safety gloves. Wear a dust mask if the drilling operation creates
dust
• Use metal and voltage detectors to locate concealed electric, water or gas lines. Avoid touching
live components or conductors
• Ensure that the lighting is adequate
• Ensure that the drill bit is securely fixed in the chuck. Insecure drill bits can be ejected from the
machine causing a hazard
• Ensure that the drill bit is NOT in contact with the workpiece prior to starting up the tool
• Before drilling, check that there is sufficient clearance for the drill bit under the workpiece
• Use both hands when operating this tool
• Do not put excessive pressure on the tool, to do so would shorten its service life
• Drill bits get hot during operation, allow to cool prior to handling them
• Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste close by the bit
• If you are interrupted when operating the drill, complete the process and switch off before
looking up
• Where possible, use clamps or a vice to hold your work
• Always disconnect the drill from the air supply before changing a bit
• Examine the chuck regularly for signs of wear or damage. Have damaged parts repaired by a
qualified Silverline service centre
• Always wait until the drill has come to a complete stop before putting it down
• On completion of the work, disconnect the tool from the air source and remove bit from the
machine
• Periodically check all nuts, bolts and other fixings and tighten where necessary

Intended Use
Single speed reversible angled drill, powered by compressed air, from a compressor. Uses
drill bits and other compatible accessories with a shaft diameter up to 9.5mm (3/8").
Note: This air drill does not feature a torque clutch and must therefore not be used for screw
driving or similar applications.
Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its features and
functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition
• If any parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool
Before Use
Fitting the quick connector
EQ-4
EU Type
EN-6
UK Type
Note: This tool is supplied with two different male airline quick connectors:
• EQ-4 – commonly used in Europe
• EN-6 – mainly used in the UK
• Please choose the connector that is compatible with the airline system you are using, and install
as outlined below:
1. Apply some PTFE tape (not included) to the screw threads of the Quick Connector (5 or 6). This
will help to maintain an air tight seal
Note: Apply PTFE tape tightly and in a clockwise direction, so it does not come off when the
thread is screwed into the tool.
2. Remove the protective plug from the air inlet
3. Using a spanner (not included) screw the quick connector into the air inlet located at the base of
the handle
4. Connect to airline, pressurise carefully, then carry out a leak check (e.g. by spraying small
amounts of soapy water on to the outside of the connectors)
• Air lines fitted with matching female quick connectors will now be a push fit to the tool
