Chicago Pneumatic CP717 Instruction Manual

CP717 Air Hammer

Model "A"

CA155290 Rev. D

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.

3. Minimum compressor requirement: 2 hp (1492 w), 40 gal. (152 I) air tank.

Lubrication

1. 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.

2. The use of synthetic oils for air line lubrication is not recommended because of possible
damage to seals, o-rings, hose, rotor blades and polycarbonate oiler/filter bowls.

Operation

1. To insert chisel, press loop on retainer aside, push chisel into cylinder and release loop.

2. Place cutting edge of chisel against workpiece, depress trigger.

fCaution: Do not operate tool without chisel in cylinder, or allow the chisel to be
driven out of cylinder. Internal damage will result if piston is allowed to strike
cylinder wall.

Noise & Vibration Declaration*

Sound pressure level 95.0 dB(A) in accordance with Pneurop 8N-1. For sound power,
add 10 dB(A).

Vibration value 13.0 m/s , re. ISO 8662-1.

Maintenance

1. Disassemble and inspect air hammer 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.

3. Dirt or gum deposits cut tool power. To correct this, flush out the tool with gum solvent oil
or an equal mixture of SAE #10 oil and kerosene. If outside conditions are in order,
disassemble tool, replace worn or damaged parts, clean, reassemble and relubricate.

*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.

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.

! Your employer, union and/or trade association.
! US Department of Labor (OSHA); www.osha.gov; Council of the European

Communities europe.osha.eu.int

! “Safety Code for Portable Air Tools” (ANSI B186.1) available from:

www.ansi.org

! “Safety Requirements for Hand-Held Non-Electric Power Tools” available

from: European Committee for Standardization, www.cenorm.be

! 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

setup.

! 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.

! 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.

! Never operate a tool unless the accessory is retained in the tool with a

proper retainer (see parts list).

! To avoid injury, retainer parts must be replaced when they become worn,

cracked or distorted.

! On overhead work, wear a safety helmet.

! To prevent damage to the tool and accessory, accessory must be held

firmly against work surface before tool is throttled.

! Always shut off air supply, relieve hose of air pressure and disconnect tool

from air supply when changing accessories.

! Avoid direct contact with accessory and work surface during and after work

as they become heated and sharp.

Air Supply And Connection Hazards

Projectile Hazards

Operating Hazards

! Wear gloves to protect hands.
! Operators and maintenance personnel must be physically able to handle

the bulk, weight, and power of the tool.

! Holding the accessory with the free hand can be a source of vibration

exposure or injury.

! Never use any chisel as a hand struck tool. They are specifically designed

and heat-treated to be used only in air hammers.

! Select the correct shank and retainer for the tool being used.
! Never use dull accessories as they require excessive work pressure and

can break from fatigue.

! Never cool a hot accessory in water. Brittleness and early failure can result.
! This tool and its accessories must not be modified in any way.
! Chicago Pneumatic hammers are not intended for use with any

accessories that are not listed in the catalog.

! Accessory breakage or tool damage may result from prying. Take smaller

bites to avoid getting struck.

! 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. Hidden hazards may exist,

such as electric or other utility lines.

! This tool is not intended for use in explosive atmospheres and is not

insulated for contact with electric power sources.

! 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.
