DISPOSAL
The gas assisted damper assembly is filled with the
high pressured gas. Observe the following instructions.
• Never heat the gas assisted damper, as it can
explode.
• Never disassemble the gas assisted damper, as
it is filled with high pressured nitrogen gas.
• Be sure to release the gas from the gas assisted
damper before disposing of it.
Move the tilt lever to the "FREE" position with the piston
rod of the gas assisted damper assembly extended
fully.
Wrap the gas assisted damper in a vinyl bag [1], and
hold it upright in a vise as shown.
Inflate the vinyl bag with the cooling air from the drill
motor.
While releasing air from the bag to prevent the bag from
bursting, release the gas from the gas assisted damper
by drilling it at the plug bolt [2] (specified drill point).
Wear goggles during drilling and drill with care not to let
the vinyl bag get caught with the drill bit.
• Drill the gas assisted damper at the specified drill
point.
• Be sure to wear goggles during drilling.
The gas and drill chips will spurt out and scatter
when drilling through the gas assisted damper.
