Inspect tool cords and air hoses periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician. The handle must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease at all times. 10. Disconnect air supply. Disconnect air hose when not in use. 11. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the trigger is not depressed when carrying the Air Hammer. 12. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Do not use the Air Hammer if the trigger does not turn on and off properly. 13. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures. 14. Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or tired. This may result in serious injury. 15. Use proper size and type extension cord. If an extension cord is required for the air compressor, it must be of the proper size and type to supply the correct current to the tool without heating up. Otherwise, the extension cord could melt and catch fire, or cause electrical damage to the tool. Check your compressor’s manual for the appropriate size cord. 16. For your safety, maintenance should be performed regularly by a qualified technician. 17. Use compressed air only — Never use combustible gases as a power source. Note: Performance of the compressor (if powered by line voltage) may vary depending on variations in local line voltage. Extension cord usage may also affect tool performance. WARNING Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities, contain chemicals known [to the State of California] to cause cancer, birth Page: 3 of 7 defects or other reproductive harm. some examples of these chemicals are: A) Lead from lead-based paints; B) Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products; C) Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. (California Health & Safety Code 25249.5, et seq.) Warning: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator Additional Safety Warnings 1. Repetitive motions or exposure to vibration may be harmful to your hands and arms. 2. When wearing gloves to operate the Air Hammer, make sure that the gloves do not interfere with operating the trigger. Test your gloves with the trigger before attaching the unit to an air source. 3. Never start the tool unless you have a firm grip with both hands and you are positioned at your workpiece or area. 4. Before using the Air Hammer, know what is directly underneath the work area or workpiece. 5. The Air Hammer can quickly penetrate material. If working directly on the ground, make sure you are not directly above shallow cables, lines, or pipes. 6. Keep your limbs and body clear of the Air Hammer. If a chisel breaks off, the tool tends to surge forward suddenly. Make sure the immediate area is clear of other people or animals. Spectators must stay at a safe distance. 7. Never point the tool or the air hose (not included) at anyone. 8. Keep your finger away from the trigger until you are ready to work. OPERATION Set Up Fig. 1 1. You will need to prepare a 1/4" air connector (sold separately) to connect to the Air Inlet. First, wrap the 1/4" air connector (not included) with pipe thread seal tape before Page: 4 of 7 connecting to a Air Source Hose (not included). 2. Attach air hose to the Air Inlet on the Air Hammer. Note: If you are not using an automatic oiler system, before operation, add a few drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil to the airline connection. Add a few drops more after each hour of continual use. 3. Set the air pressure on your compressor to 90 PSI. Do not exceed the recommended air pressure of 90 PSI. 4. Check the air connection for leaks. 5. Turn off the compressor and disconnect the air source hose in preparation to load bits into the Air Hammer. ASSEMBLY WARNING Always disconnect from the air source before examining or changing bits. 1. Select the appropriate Chisel Bit. With your thumb, put counterclockwise pressure on the spring and insert the shank of the chisel bit into the Cylinder. Release the spring. Holding the Air Hammer fi...
