INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Do not use without wearing protective eye and ear wear. Be safe!
2.
Connect air hammer to an air source of approximately 90 psi for heavier gauge sheet metal.
Pressure can be reduced when working with lighter gauges.
3.
Place the air hammer guide against the Pittsburgh lock as shown in Figure 1, below. Lightly
squeeze the trigger to begin hammer operation. Depress the trigger to achieve the desired
result in bending the flange.
4.
Keep the piston/forming tool against the metal. Failure to do so will diminish the life of the
tool. Do not allow the forming tool to bounce off the flange.
5.
Move the air hammer along the seam, hammering over the retainer flange. Note that the
position in figure 1 is about 45 degrees to achieve this initial bend.
6.
Next, we will make another pass over the flange to close the Pittsburgh lock seam. Note the
position as indicated in Figure 2 below.
7.
Bends in sheet metal may be removed by removing the aluminum guide and leaving the
forming tool in place.
