4. Fully extend the tool while charging the HAMMER with nitrogen gas. Be sure that
the retaining pin is installed.

12. Wear ear protection if conditions warrant. Consult OSHA regulations.
13. Wear safety glasses at all times. Beware of flying debris.
14. If modifications are to be made,
do not alter the HAMMER without authorization
from NPK Engineering!
15.
Use only genuine NPK replacement parts. NPK specifically disclaims any
responsibility for any damage or injury that results from the use of any tool or parts
not sold or approved by NPK.
