OPERATION
SET UP
1.You will need to prepare a 1/4" air connector (sold separately) to connect to the Air Inlet.
First, wrap the 1/4" air connector (not included) with pipe thread seal tape before
connecting to a Air Source Hose (not included).
2.Attach air hose to the Air Inlet on the Air Hammer. Note: If you are not using an
automatic oiler system, before operation, add a few drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil to the
airline connection. Add a few drops more after each hour of continual use.
3.Set the air pressure on your compressor to 90 PSI. Do not exceed the recommended air
pressure of 90 PSI.
4.Check the air connection for leaks.
5.Turn off the compressor and disconnect the air source hose in preparation to load bits
into the Air Hammer.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING
Always disconnect from the air source before examining or
changing bits.
1.
Select the appropriate Chisel Bit. With your thumb,
put counterclockwise pressure on the spring and
insert the shank of the chisel bit into the Cylinder.
Release the spring. Holding the Air Hammer firmly,
pull the chisel bit hard to make sure it locked into
place. See Fig. 2.
Note: Before connecting the air supply, make sure you are wearing safety goggles
and a full face mask, ear protection, and steel toe shoes.
WARNING
Any spectators in the immediate area will need eye and ear
protection.
Beware of flying chips of wood, concrete, metal, or any other material being
chiseled.
1.
Connect the air hose to the Air Inlet and turn on the compressor (not included).
2.
Grip the Air Hammer with both hands firmly and put the chisel tip up against the
workpiece you wish to chip.
3.
Gently squeeze the trigger and move slowly along the workpiece. Do not push
down on the tool; let it do the work. If it does not do the intended job to satisfaction,
examine your bit to see if it is worn or dull.
4.
When you are finished, turn off the air supply, hold the Air Hammer a safe distance
away from yourself and others and squeeze the trigger to bleed off the remaining air.
Then, disconnect the air hose.
