PREPARATION FOR USE

PROPER USE OF THE TOOL
Your new Air Hammer is designed for chipping, riveting and scaling metal and stone. Use only approved
accessories with the air hammer. Do not use the tool for any other purpose than that specified without
consulting the manufacturer or the manufacturer's authorized supplier.To do so may be dangerous. Never
attempt to modify the tool for other uses.
WORK STATIONS
Your air hammer should only be used as a hand operated tool. It is always recommended that the tool
is used when standing with solid footing. It can be used in other positions but before any such use, the
operator must be in a secure position having a firm grip and footing.

AIR SUPPLY
Use a clean lubricated air supply that will give a measured air pressure at the tool of 90
psi/6.2 bar when the tool is running with the trigger fully depressed.
Use recommended hose size. It is recommended that the tool is connected to the air supply as shown in
figure A on page 7 . Do not connect the tool to the air line system without incorporating an easy to reach
and operate air shut off valve.The air supply should be lubricated. It is strongly recommended that an air
filter, regulator, lubricator (FRL) is used as shown in figure A on page 7 as this will supply clean, lubricated
air at the correct pressure to the tool. Details of such equipment can be obtained from your supplier. If
such equipment is not used then the tool should be lubricated by shutting off the air supply to the tool and
then depressurizing the line by pressing the trigger on the tool. Disconnect from your supplier.
