General usage description
The Mastercraft® Air-powered Hammer/Chisel features heat-treated impact parts for durability; an
alloy steel barrel and heat-treated piston and coil spring retainer to ensure the durability of internal
parts; and an ergonomic grip for comfort and stability and to reduce operator fatigue. The positiveaction trigger and built-in air regulator allow for simple power and speed control. An air inlet
(screened filter) keeps dirt and debris from damaging the tool. The standard quick change retention
spring means speed and ease when changing chisels. The exhaust is in the handle. The 6" (150
mm) Air-powered Hammer/Chisel set includes the four most popular demolition chisels. It is ideal for
light cutting, chipping, and scraping.
Compatible compressor and air tool
GUIDELINES FOR PROPER USAGE AND OPERATION
Always ensure the use of appropriately matched air tools and compressors. The compressor should
be able to supply a minimal air delivery of 2.8 SCFM @ 90 PSI to ensure the compressor can run
continuously with the Mastercraft Air-powered Hammer/Chisel. Using tools or a combination of tools
that together or separately require more volume of air than the volume that the air compressor can
deliver will reduce performance and could void the compressor or tool guarantee/warranty.
