Chicago Pneumatic CP835 Instruction Manual

Air Supply Requirements

1. Supply tool with 90 psig (6.2 bar) of clean, dry air. Higher pressure drastically
reduces tool life.
2. Connect tool to air line using pipe, hose and fitting sizes shown in the diagram
on page 12.

Lubrication

Use an air line lubricator with SAE #10 oil, adjusted to two drops per minute. If
an air line lubricator cannot be used, add air motor oil to the inlet once a day.

Die Adjustment

Loosen clamp nut (9), rotate die (8) aligning slot with pin (4) at desired position.
Tighten clamp nut before operating tool.
Noise & Vibration Declaration*
Sound pressure level 93.0 dB(A) in accordance with Pneurop 8N-1. For sound
power, add 10 dB(A).
2
Vibration value < 2.5 m/s , re. ISO 8662-1.

Maintenance

1. Disassemble and inspect parts every three months if the tool is used every
day. Replace damaged or worn parts.
2. High wear parts are underlined in the parts list.

Punch Replacement

Remove clamp nut (9) and die (8). Loosen set screw (6) and remove punch.
Reverse procedure to install new punch.
*These declared values were obtained by laboratory type testing in compliance with the stated standards and
are not adequate for use in risk assessments. Values measured in individual work places may be higher than
the declared values. The actual exposure values and risk of harm experienced by an individual user are
unique and depend upon the way the user works, the workpiece and the workstation design, as well as upon
the exposure time and the physical condition of the user. We, Chicago Pneumatic, cannot be held liable for
the consequences of using the declared values, instead of values reflecting the actual exposure, in an
individual risk assessment in a work place situation over which we have no control.
To reduce risk of injury, everyone using, installing,
repairing, maintaining, changing accessories on, or
working near this tool must read and understand
these instructions before performing any such task.
The goal of Chicago Pneumatic is to produce tools that help you work safely and
efficiently. The most important safety device for this or any tool is YOU. Your
care and good judgment are the best protection against injury. All possible
hazards cannot be covered here, but we have tried to highlight some of the
important ones.

Air Supply and Connection Hazards

! Air under pressure can cause severe injury.
! Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and disconnect
tool from air supply when not in use, before changing accessories or
when making repairs.
! Never direct air at yourself or anyone else.
! Whipping hoses can cause serious injury. Always check for damaged or
loose hoses and fittings.
! Do not use quick disconnect couplings at tool. See instructions for
correct set-up.
! Whenever universal twist couplings are used, lock pins must be
installed.
! Do not exceed maximum air pressure of 90 psi/6.2 bar or as stated on
tool nameplate.

Projectile Hazards

! Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection when involved
with or near the operation, repair or maintenance of the tool or changing
accessories on the tool.
! Be sure all others in the area are wearing impact-resistant eye and face
protection.
! Even small projectiles can injure eyes and cause blindness.

Operating Hazards

! Always shut off air supply, relieve hose of air pressure and disconnect
tool from air supply when changing accessories.
! Cutting with these tools will create sharp edges. Wear gloves to protect
hands.

Signature of Issuer
! Avoid direct contact with accessory and work surface during and after
work.
! Cutting edges and saw blades can become hot during use. Do not
touch.
! Never force the tool to cut faster or through heavier gauge material than
rated capacity.
! To prevent damage to the tool and accessory, accessory must be held
firmly against work surface while cutting.

Workplace Hazards

! Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or death. Be aware of
excess hose left on the walking or work surface.
! High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. Use hearing
protection as recommended by your employer or OSHA regulation (see
29 CFR part 1910).
! Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.
! Repetitive work motions, awkward positions and exposure to vibration
can be harmful to hands and arms. If numbness, tingling, pain or
whitening of the skin occurs, stop using tool and consult a physician.
! Avoid inhaling dust or handling debris from the work process which can
be harmful to your health. Use dust extraction and wear respiratory
protective equipment when working with materials which produce
airborne particles.
! Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. Be aware of potential
hazards created by your work activity.
! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead based paints
- Crystalline silica bricks and cement and other masonry products
- And Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated rubber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do
this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a
well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Additional Safety Topics

! This tool and its accessories must not be modified.
! This tool is not intended for use in an explosive atmosphere and is not
insulated for contact with electric power sources.
! Operators and maintenance personnel must be capable of handling the
power of the tool and performing the job task.
