SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.

2. Observe work area conditions. Do not use machines or power tools in damp or wet

locations. Don’t expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted. Do not use electrically

powered tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.

3. Keep bystanders, pets, untrained operators and children away. Children must never

be allowed in the work area. Do not let them handle machines, tools, extension cords, or

air hoses.

4. Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry location to inhibit

rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.

5. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to do the

work of a larger industrial tool. There are certain applications for which this tool was

designed. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was intended. Do

not modify this tool and do not use this tool for a purpose for which it was not intended.

6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in moving

parts. Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid footwear are

recommended when working. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair. Always

wear steel toe shoes when operating the Air Hammer.

7. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles and ear

protection. Wear a full face shield when breaking up concrete.

8. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or

across running machines or air hoses.

9. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean for better and safer performance. Follow

instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords and air hoses

periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician. The handle

must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease at all times.

10. Disconnect air supply. Disconnect air hose when not in use.

11. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the trigger is not depressed when carrying the Air

Hammer.

12. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should

be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended

function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting

fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is

damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Do not use the

Air Hammer if the trigger does not turn on and off properly.

13. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,

radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.

14. Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or tired. This may result in

serious injury.

15. Use proper size and type extension cord. If an extension cord is required for the air

compressor, it must be of the proper size and type to supply the correct current to the tool

without heating up. Otherwise, the extension cord could melt and catch fire, or cause

electrical damage to the tool. Check your compressor’s manual for the appropriate size

cord.

16. For your safety, maintenance should be performed regularly by a qualified technician.

17. Use compressed air only — Never use combustible gases as a power source.

Note: Performance of the compressor (if powered by line voltage) may vary depending on

variations in local line voltage. Extension cord usage may also affect tool performance.
