6. If the bit binds in the hole, reverse direction of the bit 
rotation to assist in “backing out” the drill.
7. Keep the drill bit centered in the hole.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
If the drill is to be used during cold weather, preheat the 
hydraulic fl uid at low engine speed. When using the nor-
mally recommended fl uids, fl uid tempera ture should be at 
or above 50°F/10°C (400 SSU/ 82 centistokes) before use.
Damage to the hydraulic system or drill can result from use 
with fl uid that is too viscous or too thick.
UNDERWATER MODEL 
PREVENTATIVE 
MAINTENANCE
After each use, the movable portions of the tool that were 
exposed to water should be fl ushed with a water displacing 
oil such as WD40. Remove any remaining water and debris 
as follows:
1.Turn the tool upside down (without the tool bit) and spray 
oil through the drive hex and side holes in the motor as-
sembly to displace any remaining water in the lower piston 
cavity.
2. Spray oil into the On/Off valve trigger slot area.
3. Dip or spray the entire tool.
4. Cycle the tool hydraulically several times before storing 
away.
