7. When chipping in a potentially explosive environment, use a spark resistant chisel (usually
made of beryllium copper).
8. Replace chisels that are worn or blunt at the cutting edge or shank. A damaged chisel may
damage the air hammer, reduce efficiency and increase vibration. A chisel that breaks during
use can cause an injury.
9. Do not store chisels below 0°C (32°F). Freezing temperatures may cause hardened steel to
become brittle. A brittle chisel may shatter or break and cause an injury.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Air Tool Precautions
1. Inspect the tool’s airline for cracks, fraying or other faults before each use. Discontinue use if
the airline is damaged or hissing is heard from the airline or connectors, while operating the
tool. Replace the defective component/airline.
2. Do not allow people, mobile equipment or vehicles to pass over the unprotected airline.
Position the airline away from high traffic areas, in a reinforced conduit or place planks on
both sides of the airline to create a protective trench.
3. Prevent damage to the airline by observing the following:
a. Never carry the tool by the airline.
b. Keep the airline behind the tool and out of the tool’s work path.
c. Keep the airline away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
d. Do not wrap the airline around the tool as sharp edges may pierce or crack the airline.
Coil the airline when storing.
4. A damaged or disconnected airline under pressure may whip around and inflict personal
injury or damage the work area. Secure the compressor’s airline to a fixed or permanent
structure with clamps or cable ties.
5. Install an in-line shutoff valve or regulator to allow immediate control over the air supply in
an emergency, even if a hose is ruptured.
Vibration Precautions
1. This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause
temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
2. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by
a doctor and then have regular medical check ups to ensure medical problems are not being
caused by or worsened from tool use.
3. If you feel any medical symptoms related to vibrations (such as tingling, numbness, and
white or blue fingers), seek medical attention as soon as possible.
4. DO NOT use this tool if one of the following applies:
a. Pregnant
b. Impaired blood circulation to the hands
c. Past hand injuries
d. Nervous system disorders
e. Diabetes
f. Raynaud’s Disease
5. Do not smoke while operating the tool. Nicotine reduces the blood flow to the hands and
fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
6. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the effects of vibration.
