you are working on. Make sure you do not accidentally puncture pipes,
pressurized containers or electrical cables.
4. Keep hands and other body parts away from the chisel to avoid injury.
5. Only use with accessories rated to handle the forces exerted by this
tool during operation. Accessories not designed for the forces
generated may break and forcefully launch pieces.
6. The chisels will become hot while chipping. Allow the chisels to
completely cool before touching.
7. When chipping in a potentially explosive environment, use a spark
resistant chisel (usually made of beryllium copper).
8. Replace chisels that are worn or blunt at the cutting edge or shank. A
damaged chisel may damage the air hammer, reduce efficiency and
increase vibration. A chisel that breaks during use can cause an injury.
9. Do not store chisels below 0°C (32°F). Freezing temperatures may cause
hardened steel to become brittle. A brittle chisel may shatter or break
and cause an injury.
10. Do not cover the air vents.
AIR TOOL PRECAUTIONS
1. Use only clean and dry compressed air as a power source.
Contaminated or moist air will gradually damage the tool.
2. Install an in-line shutoff valve or regulator to allow immediate control over
the air supply in an emergency, even if a hose is ruptured.
3. Discontinue tool use if it does not work properly or air is leaking. Tag
or mark the tool as ‘defective’ or ‘out of service’ until repaired.
4. Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air tools and
accessories. Compressor outlet pressure must be regulated to never
exceed the maximum pressure rating of the tool (see Specifications).
Exceeding the maximum PSI rating can create a bursting hazard,
causing injury and property damage.
5. Attach all accessories properly to the tool before connecting the air
supply. A loose accessory may detach or break during operation.
6. Never use oxygen, combustible gas or any other bottled gas as a
power source. Any power source other than an air compressor could
cause an explosion and serious personal injury.

7. Turn OFF the valve and discharge any remaining air pressure after each
use or before adjusting the tool.
8. Do not leave the air tool unattended with its compressed air supply on.
Turn off the compressed air supply and bleed the air tool of any
remaining compressed air before leaving the air tool unattended.
9. Serious injury may occur from loose debris being propelled at high speeds
from the compressed air stream. Always wear OSHA approved safety glasses
to protect the eyes during operation of the air compressor.
10. Always turn off the air compressor and drain tank pressure completely
before attempting maintenance or attaching air tools. Release pressure
slowly from the system.
11. Serious injury or death may occur from inhaling compressed air. The air
stream may contain carbon monoxide, toxic vapors or solid particles.
Never inhale compressed air directly from the pump or air tool.
POWER TOOL PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not use any power tool with a malfunctioning power switch or control.
A power tool that fails to respond to the controls is dangerous and can
cause an injury. A qualified technician must repair and verify the power
tool is operating correctly, before it can be used.
2. Avoid unintentional starts. Ensure the switch is off when connecting to
the power source.
3. Disconnect the power source before installing or servicing the tool.
4. Never force the tool. Excessive pressure could break the tool, resulting
in damage to your workpiece or serious personal injury. Excessive
pressure is the cause if your tool runs smoothly under no load, but
roughly under load.
5. Only use an accessory that exceeds the Beats Per Minute rating (see
Specifications). Ensure the accessory is tightly installed.
6. Before using the tool on a workpiece, test the tool by running it at the
highest no load speed for at least 30 seconds in a safe position. Stop

tool, then clean it with gum and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene.
Never use gasoline. Allow to dry before use. Discard the accessory if
the gum or pitch cannot be removed.
AIR HOSE PRECAUTIONS
1. Inspect the tool's air hose for cracks, fraying or other faults before
each use. Discontinue use if the air hose is damaged or hissing is heard
from the air hose or couplers. Replace the defective air hose.
2. Do not allow people, mobile equipment or vehicles to pass over the
unprotected air hose. Position the air hose away from high traffic
areas, in a reinforced conduit or place planks on both sides of the air
hose to create a protective trench.
3. Prevent damage to the air hose by observing the following:
a. Never carry the tool by the air hose.
b. Keep the air hose behind the tool and out of the tool's work path.
c. Keep the air hose away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
d. Do not wrap the air hose around the tool as sharp edges may
pierce or crack the air hose. Gently coil the hose and either hang
on a hook or fasten with a device to keep hose together when
storing.
4. A damaged or disconnected air hose under pressure may whip around
and inflict personal injury or damage the work area. Secure the
compressor's air hose to a fixed or permanent structure with clamps or
cable ties.
COMPRESSOR/TANK PRECAUTIONS
DANGER! Do not use an air tank beyond its expiration date. A tank rupture
or explosion may kill or cause a serious injury to yourself or a bystander.

3. Remove by unscrewing the spring retainer (A) using the inner lug.
4. Select your chisel (F to J). Make sure it is in good working condition and
will not shatter or break while in use.
5. Push the chisel into the air hammer until seated.
6. Slide the retainer spring over the chisel, then screw it onto the
cylinder’s (B) threads until seated. Twist the coil by the front lug. It will
spread the coils out slightly, making it easier to thread.
7. Pull on the chisel to confirm it is locked into place.
8. Test the chisel placement by running the tool at no load for approximately
30 seconds. Point the chisel in a safe direction in case it is ejected from the
air hammer.
OPERATION
PRESSURE DROP
Apply the air consumption and pressure rate numbers to the tool’s air inlet, not
the compressor’s outlet. Calculate the pressure drop for your air supply set-up
and increase the compressor outlet pressure to compensate. Make sure you do
not exceed the maximum pressure for any part of your air supply system.
Installing a pressure gauge at the tool inlet is the best way to measure the
air pressure and adjust the compressor’s output.
TOOL OPERATION
1. Ensure the regulator switch is in the neutral or OFF position.
2. Connect the tool to the air source.
3. Turn the compressor regulator to the desired air pressure (see
Specifications).
4. Power is increased or decreased by adjusting the air flow with the
regulator (E) at the handle’s base.
5. Firmly grip the air hammer with both hands and place the chisel
against the workpiece.
6. Squeeze the trigger (C) and slowly move along the workpiece. Do not
force the air hammer; let the tool do the work.
7. If the chisel is not performing well, turn off the tool and examine the
chisel to see if it is dull. Replace with a sharp chisel. Remember that
sharp tools are safer than ones that have become dull.

8. Once finished, disconnect the tool from its air source and discharge
any residual air in the tool before storing it.
9. Remove the chisel and the spring retainer after each use. Clean the air
hammer, retainer and chisels to make sure there is no accumulated
dust or debris remaining on the tool. Reinstall the retainer back onto
the air hammer before storage.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
1. Maintain the tool with care. A tool in good condition is efficient, easier
to control and will have fewer problems.
2. Inspect the tool fittings, alignment, hoses and power supply cord
periodically. Have damaged or worn components repaired or replaced
by an authorized technician. Only use identical replacement parts
when servicing.
3. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
4. Only use accessories intended for use with this tool.
5. Keep the tool handles clean, dry and free from oil/grease at all times.

replacements.
WARNING! Only qualified service personnel should repair the tool. An
improperly repaired tool may present a hazard to the user and/or others.
AIR TOOL LUBRICATION
NOTICE! Only use air tool oil to lubricate the tool. Other lubricants are not
suitable and will damage the tool or cause a malfunction during use.
NOTICE! Never use a penetrating oil to lubricate an air tool. Penetrating oil
acts as a solvent that will dissolve the tool’s grease packing and may
damage the o-rings, causing the tool to seize or malfunction.
1. All air tools have an internal coating of grease to prevent corrosion
during shipping and storage. Remove this grease by adding a generous
amount of air tool oil in the air inlet and then run the tool under no
load until the exhaust is clear.
2. Manually add a drop or two of air tool oil into the tool’s male coupler
before each use and after every hour of continuous use. The tool will not
work properly without lubrication and parts will wear prematurely.
