Operation
The flux chipper must be
properly lubricated before operation. See
“Lubricati on” se ctio n.
6. Hold flux chipper firmly with both hands and
rest chisel tip ag ains t work surf ac e.
7. Press throttle lever. Pressure against throttle
lever d eter min es sp eed of tool. Do not exert
excessive pressure against work surface –
let the tool do the work.
8. Release throttle lever to stop flux chipper.
9. To remove chisel, rotate knurled collar until
hole aligns with ball.
Maintenance
Lubrication
The flux chipper should be lubricated daily (or
before each use) with air tool oil through the air
inlet. Durin g conti nual op erati on, it s hould b e reoiled every 1 to 2 hours. This can be done with an
in-line oiler, or manually. If done manually,
proc eed as f oll ows :
1. D is c onn ec t air h os e f r om tool.
Figure 1
1. Rotate knur l ed c oll ar unti l ball is align ed w ith
hole in coll ar .
2. Insert chisel shank into cylinder, aligning
notch in shank with ball.
3. Rotate knurled collar 180- degrees in either
direction to secure chisel shank.
4. Remove protecti v e cap from air i nl et (Figur e
1). If an in-line oil er is not bei ng used, add 4
or 5 drops of air tool oil (not included) into the
air inlet.
5. Blow out air line to remove any dirt or
moisture, then connect air supply hose to
tool. Set air pressure to 90 psi.
2. P l ac e 4 or 5 dr ops of air tool oil into air inlet.
NOTE: Air tool oil not provided; it is available
at most major hardware and tool stores. SAE
#10 oil or s ewing mach ine oil may b e us ed
as a substitute. Do not use detergent oil.
3. Re-connect air. Run flux chipper at low
throttle without load for a few seconds to
distri bu te the oil thr oug hout tool.
4. When finished operating flux chipper,
disconnect air hose. Wipe off housing with a
dry cloth. Place 4 or 5 drops of air tool oil into
air inlet; re-connect air and run tool for a few
seconds t o distribut e th e oil. Dis connect air .
Storage
Avoid storing the flux chipper in very humid
locations which promotes rusting of internal
mechan isms. A lways oil t he tool and disc onnect
air hose before storage.
IMPORTANT: Connecting a quick-change
coupling directly to the tool is not
recommended, as vibration may cause the
connection to fail. Instead, add a leader hose
and install any quick-change couplings
farther down the line.

Air system requi rements
1. Use proper air hose size (refer to tool
specifications). The hose should be just long
enough to serve the working area. Excessive
hose len gt h wil l c ause pressur e drop.
2. Make sure air compressor supplies clean,
dry air at correct CFM for the tool.
3. Set air pressure to 90 psi.
for the job. Continued use in either capacity will
cause damage to the tool.
Tool Pressure
JET Air Tools oper ate on 70-t o-100 psi ( pounds
per square inch) air pressure measured at the tool
when the tool is operating. Set tool to 90 psi
unless indicated otherwise. Pressure in excess of
100 psi will shorten the life of the tool.
Air System Recommendations
Excess air pressure
and/or un clean air will sh orten the tool’ s
life and may create a hazardous situation.
4. Drain water f rom air com press or tan k dail y,
as well as any condens ation from air lin es .
W ater in the air lin e may enter the t ool and
cause damage.
5. C h ang e f ilt ers on th e air syst em on a reg ul ar
basis.
6. Air-line pressure may be increased
accor di n gly to compensate f or extra- l ong air
hoses (usually over 25 feet). Inside diameter

General Air Tool
Information
If the air tool is not performing according to
specif ications , th e foll owing are am ong t he most
common causes. (See also “Troubleshooting”
section.)
• C ontamin ated air suc h as a dirty air system
or water in the system.
Equip the air compressor intake with a
replaceable air filter that can be easily cleaned.
Use safety shut-off valves so air flow can be
stopped quickly in case of a line break.
W hen using multip le hos es, air hoses shou ld be
larger than leader hose. Join multiple hoses
directly, rather than with quick connect fittings
which m ay caus e pressure dr ops and tool power
reduction.
Use anti-whip devices across hose couplings to
prevent hose from whipping in the event of a hose
failur e or c oup li ng dis connec t.
Always us e m oist ure tr aps at th e c ompr ess or f or
the main distr ib ut ion line. Use mois ture traps an d
in-lin e oilers on eac h down line th at is to be used
for air tools. (See Figure 2). Place oiler as close to
air tool as possible f or best lubric ati on.
Lubrication
Use a lig ht oil contai ning rust in hibitors, such as
SAE #10. Many JET air tools have integral oil
reservoirs, which should be kept filled when in-line
oilers ar e not used.
• Using wrong size tool for the job.
• P oor main tenanc e pr actic es, suc h as usin g
excessive air pressure or air volume.
• Improper or no lubrication.
Rule of Th um b
If it takes more than 8 seconds to tighten or loosen
a bolt or nut with an air impact wrench at
maxim um settin g, the air wrenc h is t oo smal l or
the air compressor CFM is not powerful enough
8 JAT-820 Pneumatic Flux Chipper
If greasing is required, use a grease that is highly
water resis tant for f ront c ase c ompon ents on air
impact w renches, gr in d ers and sander s .
Recycling
Protect the environment. Your tool contains
materials which can be recovered or recycled.
W hen its us eful life has expired, please leave tool
at a specialized facility.
