EQUIPMENT DEVELOPMENT CO., INC.
• When operating this equipment, the operator must wear
approved job related safety attire. Eye and hearing pro-
tection must be worn at all times while equipment is in use
as sound levels exceed 85 dBA. Steel toe safety shoes
should be worn. Head protection is required if work is
performed overhead. Wear proper dust mask based on
material being removed.
• Use the correct size air hose for the tool, ½” diameter
(minimum). Hose and fittings must be rated for safe
handling in excess of 100 PSI pressure. The working
pressure of this tool is 80-90 PSI and should never be
allowed to exceed 100 PSI. If damaged hose is pres-
ent, replace the hose before further use.
• Limit the hose length to 30 feet (10 meters) maximum.
Note: The pressure drop of 1/2” diameter hose is
approximately 1 PSI per 90 linear feet.
• Limit the hose length to 30 feet (10 meters) maximum.
Note: The pressure drop of 3/8” diameter hose is
approximately 3 PSI per 90 linear feet.
• A filter/water separator must be provided on the air
source to afford an adequate supply of clean, dry air to
this machine. Keep hoses clear at all times.
• Disconnect the air supply before per-
forming any maintenance on this ma-
chine. Use only genuine EDCO parts
with this equipment. Failure to do so may
result in seriuos bodily injury or death.
AIR POWERED EQUIPMENT
SAFETY INFORMATION
AIR POWERED EQUIPMENT CONTINUED
• This equipment will create dust from the
material being removed. That dust may
contain a chemical known to the state of
California to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Check the chemical properties of the
materials to be removed.
• It is the operator’s responsibility to keep
other people (workers, pedestrians, by-
standers, etc.) away during operation.
Block off the work area in all directions with roping, safety
netting, etc. for a safe distance. Failure to do so may result
in others being injured by flying debris or exposing them
to harmful dust and noise.
• Replace any damaged parts immediately. Use only
genuine EDCO parts.
• Do
NOT
force the tool into the work. The hammering ac-
tion of the tool will perform the work for you. If the tool does
not seem to perform the work to your specifications, check
the air supply to verify proper air pressure and lubricator
is functioning properly. If above suggestions do not rem-
edy the problem call our customer service department at
1-800-638-3326 for possible solutions and
trouble shooting.
• After turning the air valve hand lever off, the tool will
continue to operate for a few seconds. This is a normal
result of stored up pressure in the machine casing being
released gradually.
Be sure to firmly grip the machine
until ALL air leaves the chamber.
DUST WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, saw-
ing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Materi-
als being removed can be toxic or hazardous. A breathing
respirator is required to help protect the operator.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead-based paints.
•
Crystalline silica from bricks, concrete and other
masonry products.Your risk of exposure to these chemi
cals varies depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your risk: work in a well ventilated area, use a
dust control system, such as an industrial-style vacuum,
and wear approved personal safety equipment, such as a
dust/particle respirator designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
