OPERATORS INSTRUCTIONS
1When operating this equipment, the operator must
wear approved job related safety attire. Eye and
hearing protection must be worn at all times while
equipment is in use as sound levels exceed 92 dBA.
Steeltoe safety shoes should be worn. Head pro-
tection is required if work is performed overhead.
Wear proper dust mask based on material being
removed.
2Use the correct size air hose for the tool, ½ diam-
eter (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.
3Limit the hose length to 30 feet (10 meters) maxi-
mum. Note: The pressure drop of ½” diameter hose
is approximately 1 PSI per 90 linear feet.
4A filter/water separator must be provided on the air
source to afford an adequate supply of clean, dry air
to this tool. A lubricator should also be used. If a
lubricator is unavailable, lubricate the tool daily by
putting 6 to 7 drops of lightweight machine oil in the
hose connector opening prior to connecting the air
supply. In cold weather, use graphite oil for lubrica-
tion.
5Disconnect the air supply before re-
moving or installing a chisel or ac-
cessory. Squeeze the hand lever to release all com-
pressed air from the tool. Use only genuine EDCO
chisels and accessories with this equipment. Fail-
ure to do so may result in serious bodily injury or
death.
6To install or remove chisel: Disconnect the air sup-
ply. Squeeze the hand lever to release all com-
pressed air. Pull back on the spring loaded locking
collar and hold while removing the chisel. Hold back
on the spring loaded locking collar while firmly seat-
ing the new chisel in the holder. Release collar to
retain the chisel.
7 The appropriate accessory must be used for the job at
hand. DONOT force the tool into the work. The ham-
mering action of the tool will perform the work for you.
NEVERUSETHETOOLASAPRYBAR. Damage to
the equipment will result. If the tool does not seem to
perform the work to your specifications, try another
accessory or Contact Discount-equipment
8To activate tool, attach the air source, firmly grip the
tool then squeeze the hand lever on the air valve.
9After releasing the air valve hand lever,
the tool will continue to operate for
up to 15 seconds. This is a normal result of
stored pressure in the tool casing being re-
leased gradually. Be sure to firmly grip the tool
until ALL air leaves the chamber.
10 Remove the air source from the tool when not in
use.
11 This equipment will create dust from
the material being removed. That dust
may contain a chemical known to the state of Califor-
nia to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other re-
productive harm.As an example, paints and concrete
contain chemicals known to the state of California to
cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm. Check the chemical properties of the ma-
terials to be removed.
12 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.
