Using The Machine - Facom V.D600QR Notice Originale

• Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted tool as recommended
in the instructions handbook to prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration
levels.
• Hold the tool with a light but safe grip, talking account of the required
hand-reaction forces, because the risk from vibration is generally greater when
the grip force is higher.
• Air under pressure can cause severe injury.
• Never direct air at yourself or anyone else.
• Cold air shall be directed away from the hands.

USING THE MACHINE

• Before using the machine, check that there is no dangerous interaction with
the immediate environment (explosive gas, inflammable or dangerous liquid,
unknown piping, electric sheathing or cable, etc).
• Before connecting the machine to the air inlet, check the trigger is not blocked
in the on position by an obstacle and no adjustment or assembly tool is still in
position.
• Check the machine is connected to the network by a quick disconnect joint and
that an air braker valve is close by to shut the air down immediately in the event
of blockage, breakage or any other incident.
• Keep hands, loose clothing and long hair away from rotating end of machine.
• Locate center of new hole by using a center punch. Place drill bit tip in punch
mark. Hold drill square with work and start motor. Apply steady, even pressure.
Do not force. Too much pressure can cause bit to break or over heat. Too little
pressure will keep bit from cutting and cause it to over heat.
• Reduce pressure just before bitcuts through the work. When bit has penetrated
work and is spinning freely, take it from the work while the motor is running,
then turn off drill.
• If the drill jams in the work, release throttle immediately.
MAINTENANCE
Your FACOM drill has been designed to operate over a long period of time with
a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon
proper tool care and regular cleaning.
Lubrication
Every eight hours' operation, if a lubricator is not used on the compressed air
network, inject 1/2 to 1cm through the machine's inlet connection.

Do not use damaged, frayed or deteriorated air hoses and fittings.
Air powered machine can vibrate in use. Vibration, repetitive
motions or uncomfortable positions may be harmful to your hands
and arms. Stop using any machine if discomfort, tingling feeling
or pain occurs.
Seek medical advice before resuming use.
Do not carry the machine by the hose.
Keep body stance balanced and firm. Do not overreach
when operating this machine.
Do not use the machine under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
medication or if you are tired.

• Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) are used, lock pins shall
be installed and whipcheck safety cables shall be used to safeguard against
possible hose-to-tool and hose-to-hose connection failure.
• Keep the drills and tappers sale by regular preventative maintenance.
• Check the speed and make a simple check of the vibration level after each
service.
• Check the speed regularly.
Disconnect the drill before removing bit and determining cause or trouble.
Do not attempt to free the bit by strating and stopping the motor.
• Anticipate and be alert for sudden changes in motion during start up and
operation of any power machine.
• Ensure that the unit on which the work is being carried out is immobilised.
• In the event of blockage, release the trigger and disconnect the machine
from the compressed air network.
• Use accessories recommended by FACOM.
• The use of other than genuine FACOM replacement parts may result in
safety hazards, decreased machine performance, and increased mainte-
nance, and cancel all warranties.
Repairs should be made only by authorized trained personnel. Consult your
nearest FACOM Authorized Servicenter.
If the air supply, hoses and connectors are in order, and the tool is still not
functionning properly, disconnect tool from hose, disassemble tool, replace
worn or damaged parts, clean, reassemble, and relubricate; or take tool to
your nearest authorized FACOM service center.
Cleaning
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-
metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials
used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never
immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
WARNING
Use protective equipment such as glasses, gloves, safety shoes as
well as acoustic protection.
Remain vigilant, use common sense and pay attention when using
the machine.
Always turn off the air supply and disconnect the air
supply hose before installing, removing or adjusting
any accessory on this machine, or before performing any
maintenance on this machine.
When working with certain materials, exposure to dust may be
dangerous for health.
Get information on the composition of the material you are
working on and use suitable protective equipment. If in doubt, use
as much protection as possible.
