Operation
The flux chipper must be
properly lubricated before operation. See
“Lubrication” section.
Figure 1
1. Push retainer lever (Figure 1) and insert
chisel. Release retainer lever to secure
chisel. Grasp chisel and attempt to pull it out
to ensure that it is secure.
Note: The chipper body may be oriented for
best comfort of the user’s hand on the throttle
lever; orient the chisel accordingly.
2.
Remove protective cap from air inlet (Figure
1). If an in-line oiler is not being used, add 4
or 5 drops of air tool oil (not included) into the
air inlet.
3. Blow out air line to remove any dirt or
moisture, then connect air supply hose to
tool. Set air pressure to 90 psi.
IMPORTANT:
Connecting a quick-change
coupling directly to the tool is not
recommended, as vibration may cause the
connection to fail. Instead, add a leader hose
and install any quick-change couplings
farther down the line.
4. Hold flux chipper firmly with both hands and
rest chisel tip against work surface.
5.
Press throttle lever. Pressure against throttle
lever determines speed of tool. Do not exert
excessive pressure against work surface –
let the tool do the work.
6.
Release throttle lever to stop flux chipper.
7.
To remove chisel, push retainer lever.
Maintenance
Lubrication
The flux chipper should be lubricated
daily
(or
before each use) with air tool oil through the air
inlet. During continual operation, it should be re-
oiled every 1 to 2 hours. This can be done with an
in-line oiler, or manually. If done manually,
proceed as follows:
1.
Disconnect air hose from tool.
2.
Place 4 or 5 drops of air tool oil into air inlet.
NOTE: Air tool oil not provided; it is available
at most major hardware and tool stores. SAE
#10 oil or sewing machine oil may be used
as a substitute. Do not use detergent oil.
3. Re-connect air. Run flux chipper at low
throttle without load for a few seconds to
distribute the oil throughout tool.
4. When finished operating flux chipper,
disconnect air hose. Wipe off housing with a
dry cloth. Place 4 or 5 drops of air tool oil into
air inlet; re-connect air and run tool for a few
seconds to distribute the oil. Disconnect air.
Storage
Avoid storing the flux chipper in very humid
locations which promotes rusting of internal
mechanisms. Always oil the tool and disconnect
air hose before storage.
