• Quackenbush drills are designed to operate on 90psig (6.2 bar) air pressure. Excessive air pressure can increase 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 is highly recommended.

• 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 Quackenbush drill motors are sharp. Handle them carefully to avoid injury.

Before mounting any positive feed drill, check the lock screws in thetooling fixture and drill bushing. Make sure both are in good conditionand securely tightened.

Positive feed drills can exert high torques and high thrust loads. Iffailure of the lock screws or drill bushing occurs, the drill maysuddenly spin and back away from the drill fixture.

Warning LabelsThe warning labels found on these tools are essential parts of thisproduct. Labels should not be removed. Labels should be checkedperiodically for legibility.

The spindle on right angle positive feed drills retracts at a muchfaster rate than it feeds. Care should be taken to avoid entrapment.Nose pieces usually used with these drills are generally slotted forvisibility and access to chuck, cutter, and retract stop adjustments.A spindle guard should be used when operating tool. Spindleguards in one inch increments are available to accommodate anylength spindle. Slotted spindle guards are available for tools withfluid swivels.

Drilling or other use of this tool may produce hazardous fumes and/or dust. To avoid adverse health effects utilize adequate ventilationand/or a respirator. Read the material safety data sheet for anycutting fluids or materials involved in the drilling process.

• Most dusts are combustible. See material safety data sheets for combustibility of a specific dust.• Non ferrous metal dusts are particularly haxardous. Examples: Aluminum, Magnesium, Titanium, Zirconium (Never collect Magnesium in a dry dust collector)• Never collect spark generating material in the same dust collector with combustible material. Examples: Collecting both Steel and Aluminum dust or Steel and

Titanium dust.• Never use flamable finishing lubricants.

Safety Recommendations

Some individuals are susceptible to disorders of the hands and armswhen exposed to tasks which involve repetitive work motions. Thoseindividuals predisposed to vasculatory or circulatory problems maybe particularly susceptible. Cumulative trauma disorders such ascarpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis can be caused or aggravatedby repetitious, forceful exertions of the hands and arms. Thesedisorders develop gradually over periods of weeks, months, andyears.

• Tasks should be performed in such a manner that the wrists are maintained in a neutral position, which is not flexed, hyperextended, or turned side to side.

• Stressful postures should be avoided and can be controlled through tool selection and work location.

Any tool operator should be aware of the following warning signs andsymptoms so that a problem can be addressed before it becomes adebilitating injury. Any user suffering prolonged symptoms of tin-gling, numbness, blanching of fingers, clumsiness or weakenedgrip, nocturnal pain in the hand, or any other disorder of theshoulders, arms, wrists, or fingers is advised to consult a physician.If it is determined that the symptoms are job related or aggravatedby movements and postures dictated by the job design, it may benecessary for the employer to take steps to prevent further occur-rences. These steps might include, but are not limited to, reposition-ing the workpiece or redesigning the workstation, reassigning work-ers to other jobs, rotating jobs, changing work pace, and/or changingthe type of tool used to minimize stress on the operator. Some tasksmay require more than one type of tool to obtain the optimumoperator/tool/task relationship.

The following recommendations will help reduce or moderate theeffects of repetitive work motions. The operator of any drill should: • Use a minimum hand grip force consistent with proper control and safe operation • Keep body and hands warm and dry • Avoid anything that inhibits blood circulation — Smoking Tobacco — Cold Temperatures — Certain Drugs • Avoid awkward postures • Keep wrists as straight as possible • Interrupt work activities, or rotate jobs to provide

periods free from repetitive work motions.

OPERATING & SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS

The tool is designed to operate on 90 psig air pressure usinga 3/8" I.D. hose up to 8 feet in length. If additional length isrequired, a 1/2" I.D. or larger hose should be connected tothe 3/8" hose.

The feed cycle is started by pushing the retract lever down.The spindle may be controlled by the automatic stop or it maybe manually retracted at any point by pulling the retract leverup. Rapid retraction of the spindle takes place while thespindle continues to rotate.

NOTE: Retraction of the spindle should be stopped beforethe end of the spindle enters the drill head.

Before installing or removing a cutting tool, or such acces-sory, be sure the tool is disconnected from the air supply. Ifthe air supply line has a valve, shut the valve off and drain theair line.

LUBRICATIONAn automatic in-line filter-lubricator is recommended as itincreases tool life and keeps the tool in sustained operation.The in-line lubricator should be regularly checked and filledwith a good grade of 10W machine oil. Proper adjustment ofthe in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of papernext to the exhaust ports and holding the throttle openapproximately 30 seconds. The lubricator is properly setwhen a light stain of oil collects on the paper. Excessiveamounts of oil should be avoided.

STORAGEIn the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool foran extended period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.), itshould receive a generous amount of 10W machine oil andrun for a few seconds to distribute oil at that time and againwhen returned to service. The tool should be stored in a deanand dry environment.

DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY OF DRILL HEADUnscrew and remove the spindle guard/retainer 624154 andnose adapter 624153. Unscrew (Left Hand Threads) andremove the drill head from the power unit. To disassemblethe drill head, slip the spacer, No. 61 7149, out of the rear ofthe head. This will allow the ball bearing, No. 847095, andbevel gear, No. 622947, to be removed.

Unscrew the four (4) retract body screws, No. 863337, andremove the retract body, No. 622975, and attached compo-nents. Loosen the stop collar screw, No. 617785, andunscrew the stop collar, No. 624155, (Left Hand Threads).Removing the nose adapter (Left Hand Threads) will allowthe spindle and attached parts to be removed from the drillhead.

Unscrew the four (4) cover screws and remove the cover,No. 622974, and attached parts. The drill head is reas-

sembled in the reverse order of disassembly. All partsshould be carefully inspected for evidence of wear. Dam-aged or worn parts should be replaced where necessary. Asall of the various gears and bearings are being assembled,they should be coated with a generous amount of Lubriplate#907" Grease. When installing the bearing, No. 617168, theball loading notches should be facing up.

During reassembly, be sure that the drive coupling hex andspline are engaged in the power unit and drill head respec-tively.

DISASSEMBLY OF POWER UNITTo disassembly the gear train on the 500 RPM, 800 RPM,1000 RPM and the 1400 RPM power units, clamp the motorhousing lightly in a softjawed vise and unscrew the gearcase, No. 613733. The first reduction spider may now beslipped off the front of the motor. Clamp the gear case in thevise and using a strap wrench, unscrew the adapter, No.613733. The first reduction spider may now be slipped off thefront of the motor. Clamp the gear case in the vise and usinga strap wrench, unscrew the adapter, No. 613544 (Left HandThreads). Rest the rear face of the adapter on the vise jawsand tap the second reduction spider out of the bearing, No.843615. After removing the spider bearing with a suitablebearing puller, the idler gears may be removed by driving theidler gear pins out the rear of the two (2) spiders. Pinion gear,No. 864239, which is used in the 1400 RPM gear train, canthen be removed from the first reduction spider.

The gear train on the 3000 and 5000 RPM power units isdisassembled by unscrewing the gear case, No. 846412,from the motor housing. Press the planet cage out of the rearof the gear case.

To remove the motor unit from the motor housing, hold therotor shaft in a softjawed vised and slip the motor unit out ofthe motor housing. Using a soft-faced mallet, tap the rotorout of the front rotor bearing, No. 844772. The front bearingplate, No. 864235, cylinder No. 864236, and four (4) rotorblades, No. 864234, may now be removed. Remove therotor bearing retainer, No. 812231, and the shims from therear of the rotor. Rest the front face of the rear bearing plate,No. 622758, on top of the vise jaws and with a suitable driver,tap the rotor out of the rear rotor bearing, No. 847095.

To disassembly the motor housing, remove the retainer ring,No. 613059. This will allow the throttle ring, No. 613263, tobe removed. Unscrew the spring retainer, No. 613660, andremove the spring, No. 613058, steel ball, No. 844077, andpush rod, No. 613264. Removing the hose adapter, No.624119, will allow the screen, No. 613066, to be removed forinspection and cleaning.

REASSEMBLY OF POWER UNITThe power unit is reassembled in the reverse order ofdisassembly. All parts should be thoroughly cleaned andinspected for damage or wear. Damaged or worn partsshould be replaced. Bearings which feel rough or haveexcessive end play should be replaced. Rotor blades shouldbe replaced at every repair cycle or if they measure less than7/32" at either end should be replaced.

When assembling the motor, a clearance of .0015" isdesired between the front face of the rear bearing plate andthe rear face of the rotor. If the rotor rubs the face of the rearbearing plate, it indicates that the rotor collar is too short andmust be replaced. If clearance is more .0015", sand thesquare face of the rotor collar until the desired clearance isobtained. After the rotor collar has been fined install shimsbetween the retainer ring and the rear rotor bearing to keepthe bearing tight against the rotor collar. The cylinder shouldbe turned in the proper direction for reverse rotation, asshown in exploded view.

Must be replaced if 7/32" (5.6mm) or less at either end.

.0015" Gap After Assembly

FOR REASSEMBLY OF DRILL HEAD REFER TO DISAS-SEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY OF DRILL HEAD.

FOR ASSEMBLY OF GEAR TRAIN REFER TO DISAS-SEMBLY OF POWER UNIT.

As the gear train is assembled, apply a generous amount ofNLGI 2-EP grease or equivalent to all of the gears, gear caseteeth, gear spider, and bearings. As the gear train is as-sembled to the motor and motor housing, make sure that theteeth on the rotor mesh properly with those in the gear spider.

After the power unit is assembled, place a few drops of 10Wmachine oil in the hose before attaching the air hose. Thiswill insure immediate lubrication of all motor parts as soon asthe air is applied.

GEAR STOP ADJUSTMENTIn order to make the adjustment, there are two methods thatcan be used. The preferred method is to make the adjust-ment during assembly of the drill, before the retract body andrelated components are attached to the angle head. With the622985 gear stop in position with and the 622984 clutchrollers positioned on top of the cam lobes, rather than in thedetents, the 867502 set screws are turned clockwise untilthe springs just begin to make up solid, but are not crushedor distorted. The screws are then rotated counterclockwise45 to 90 degrees minimum. By using this method, it is easierto determine when the spring makes up solid so that thereis tendency to force the screw in too deep and damage thesprings.

If the adjustment is to be performed with the drill fullyassembled, the clutch rollers will normally be resting in thedetents. The screws are then rotated in the clockwisedirection until the springs just begin to go solid. Care must beused so as not to distort the springs. Once the solid state isachieved, the set screws are backed out (counterclockwise)one full turn plus the 45 to 90 degrees.
