SAFETY
4. Operate HAMMER from operator’s seat only.
5. Match HAMMER size to carrier according to NPK recommendations. The carrier
must be stable during hammer operation and during transport.
See CARRIER MACHINE COMPATIBILITY section of the NPK instruction manual.
6. Do not make any alterations to the TOOL without authorization from NPK
Engineering.
7. Use proper lifting equipment and tools when handling or servicing the HAMMER.
8. Wear ear protection and safety glasses when operating the hammer. Consult
OSHA/MSHA regulations when applicable.
9. Beware of flying metal pieces when driving mounting pins.
10. If modifications are to be made,
do not alter the HAMMER without authorization
from NPK Engineering!
11. 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.
12. All air line components must be rated 150% greater than maximum system
pressure.
13. Never attempt to do any maintenance work on the compressor while it is running.
14. Keep compressor well ventilated, do not cover the compressor during use.
15. Drain tank daily and after use. Internal rust causes tank failure.
16. Do not use the air hose to move the compressor.
17. Release the pressure in the tank before moving.
18. Do not, under any circumstances, point air at or in the direction of someone.
Discharging air pressure is capable of putting out eyes, bursting eardrums, causing
serious skin burns, and other injuries.
