Aardwolf Portable Air Drill Machine - APADM

Aardwolf Portable Air Drill Machine - APADM

It features an integrated vacuum base, making it instantaneous to set up with no need for anchoring or clamping.  The Aardwolf Air Drilling Machine quickly attaches to both smooth and rough flat surfaces once the vacuum is applied.  This drilling machine is suitable for use on vertical and horizontal surfaces, whether the surface is cement, stone, glass or metal. The vacuum base provides stability.

Features

• The machine has stepless speed regulation and the max free speed is 1,200rpm.
• Conveniently placed water nozzle ensures that the drill bit is kept cool during drilling.
• The Drilling Depth Control design can show or set the depth that you are drilling.
• Three-speed control switch.
• The Aardwolf Portable Drilling Machine has an integrated vacuum base that can be mounted on cement, stone, glass or metal.

Maintenance Tips

• Lubricate daily: Add a few drops of pneumatic oil into the air inlet before use to reduce wear on internal vanes and bearings.
• Keep air clean & dry: Use a moisture filter/FRL unit and drain compressor tank regularly to prevent rust and internal corrosion.
• Check air pressure (90 PSI): Always operate within recommended working pressure to avoid motor damage and performance loss.
• Inspect vacuum base: Ensure seals are clean and undamaged for stable grip on stone, glass, metal, or cement surfaces.
• Clean water nozzle system: Flush after use to prevent clogging and ensure proper bit cooling during drilling.
• Inspect hoses & fittings: Look for air leaks, cracks, or loose couplers to maintain consistent power.
• Clean after each job: Remove dust and slurry from body, chuck, and depth control system.
• Proper storage: Store in a dry, dust-free case to prevent corrosion and extend tool life.
