MAINTENANCE
Using pneumatic tool oil or machine oil of SAE No.5 or SAE No. 10, pour a few drops into the inlet each
day before using. Run the tool for a few seconds to distribute the oil within. If the tool is in constant use
over the course of a day, repeat the above every 3-4 hours.
SAFETY
1. Never operate this air tool without the forming tool in place.
2. Never disassemble the air tool with the air supply connected.
3. With heavy, constant use, you should tighten the barrel. Do so by loosening the socket screw in
the handle, providing access to the barrel every 3-4 hours or when the barrel begins to become
loose. Failure to keep the barrel tight will cause damage to the tool
OPERATION
The speed of the hammer will be regulated by how far the trigger is depressed. For maximum efficiency,
ensure the air pressure is around 90 psi.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Do not use without wearing protective eye and ear wear. Be safe!
2. Connect air hammer to an air source of approximately 90 psi for heavier gauge sheet metal.
Pressure can be reduced when working with lighter gauges.
3. Place the air hammer guide against the Pittsburgh lock as shown in Figure 1, below. Lightly
squeeze the trigger to begin hammer operation. Depress the trigger to achieve the desired
result in bending the flange.
4. Keep the piston/forming tool against the metal. Failure to do so will diminish the life of the
tool. Do not allow the forming tool to bounce off the flange.
5. Move the air hammer along the seam, hammering over the retainer flange. Note that the
position in figure 1 is about 45 degrees to achieve this initial bend.
6. Next, we will make another pass over the flange to close the Pittsburgh lock seam. Note the
position as indicated in Figure 2 below.
7. Bends in sheet metal may be removed by removing the aluminum guide and leaving the
forming tool in place.
WARRANTY
This air tool is warranted against factory defective parts for six months from date of purchase. TAAG
reserves the right to repair or replace, at TAAG’s option. Warranty claims require that the air tool be
delivered to TAAG, at the below address, for inspection and warranty evaluation.
