OPERATION
Accessory Installation
Always turn off the air supply and disconnect
the air supply hose before installing, remov-
ing or adjusting any accessory on this tool or
before performing any maintenance on this
tool. Failure to do so could result in injury.
For Latch Type Retainer
1.
Operate the Latch until it is approximately 90
degrees to the body of the tool and clicks into
position.
2.
Insert the accessory into the tool until the collar
of the accessory is past the Latch.
3.
Operate the Latch until it is parallel to the tool
and it clicks into position.
15 – 20 kg (30 – 40 lbs) is the recommended amount
of downforce to apply to the tool when working.
The amount of downforce is correct when the tool
hits rhythmically, is comfortable to hold and works
efficiently.
Do not repair the tool at the work site. Always take
the tool to a repair shop. Never drag the tool on the
ground. The air port and other openings will become
clogged with dirt and debris.
Compressed air is dangerous. When blowing the line
clear of dirt, wear eye protection and keep the air
line directed toward a safe, clear area.

CAUTION
NOTICE
CAUTION
Always blow out the air line before using to clear
the line of dirt.
Do not operate the tool unless the chisel is against
the work since this will cause premature wear of
parts and reduce the vibration isolation properties
of the tool.
Always break material to the point of “give.” Crack-
ing does not result in a complete break. Clear away
rubble as it is broken since uncleared rubble blocks
the point of “give.”
Always take the right size “bite” with the tool. When
working new material, experiment to find the right
size “bite” required for breaking that material effi-
ciently.
If “bites” are too big, the operator will try to
pry with the tool. This could break the chisel.
The tool is designed for demolition, not pry-
ing. Always use a pick for prying. If “bites”
are to small, the operator will be working too
slowly.
If the chisel or accessory should become stuck, do
not use excessive force or mechanical means on the
tool to pull out the chisel. Doing so will damage the
vibration isolation unit. Break out the stuck chisel
with a spare chisel or tool.
