Parts Illustration
1. Disconnect Air Supply from Tool before working on the Air Hammer.
2. Place the chisel into the spring retainer center.
3. Slide the Chisel shank into the barrel of the
Air Hammer.
4. Push to start and Screw the Retainer onto the
end of the Air Hammer threads until fully
installed.
Note: The Retainer and Chisels used should be checked before use for signs of damage or wear.
Replace with new parts as needed.

15) It is expected that users will adopt safe
working practices and observe all relevant
legal requirements when installing, using or
maintaining the tool.
16) Only install the tool when an easily accessible
and easily operable on/off switch is
incorporated in the air supply.
17) Take care that the tool exhaust air does not
cause problems or blow onto another person.
18) Never lay a tool down unless the working
attachment has stopped moving.
19) Chisels that are worn or blunt at the cutting
edge or shank should not be used as such
conditions promote tool breakage, reduce
efficiency and increase vibration. A chisel
which breaks can cause injury by creating
unexpected movement.
20) When chipping or scaling in potentially
explosive environment, use spark resistant
chisels (usually made of beryllium copper).
Consult the tool manufacturer before using
tool in this manner.
21) Do not store chisels at 32˚F (0˚C) or lower
temperatures. Freezing temperatures can make
hardened steels brittle, which can cause
breakage and lead to injury.
22) Do not start tool until steel/chisel/needles are
in contact with the working surface. Do not run
tool unless retainer is fitted.
23) Do not over reach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
24) Do not force the tool but allow it to cut.
25) When possible secure work with clamps or vice
so both hands are free to operate the tool.
26) Use correct size of chisel shank to match
the tool.
27) Chisels and chisel spring retainers should be
kept in good condition and replaced if worn
or damaged.
Pneumatic Tools
1) Inspect the air hose for cracks or other
problems. Replace the hose if worn.
2)
Never point an air hose at another person.
3)
Disconnect the tool when not in use, or before
performing service or changing accessories.
4)
Use proper hoses and fittings. Never use
quick-change couplings attached at the tool.
Instead, add a hose and coupling between the
tool and the air supply.
The recommended hook-up is shown in figure A.
Pneumatic tools operate on a wide range of air
pressures. For maximum efficiency and longer tool
life, the pressure of the air supplied to these tools
should not exceed the rated PSI at the tool when
the tool is running. Using a higher than rated
pressure will cause faster wear and drastically
shorten the tool's life. A higher air pressure can
also cause an unsafe condition.
The inside diameter of the hose should be
increased to compensate for unusually long air
hoses (over 25 feet). Minimum hose diameter
should be 3/8" I.D. and fittings should have the
same inside dimensions.
The use of air line lubricators and air line filters is
recommended to prevent water in the line that can
damage the tool. Drain the air tank daily. Clean the
air inlet filter screen on at least a weekly schedule
to remove accumulated dirt or other matter that
can restrict air flow.
The tool's air inlet used for connecting an air
supply has standard 1/4" NPT American thread.
