DISASSEMBLY
General Instructions
1. Do not disassemble the tool any further than necessary to
replace or repair damaged parts.

subassembly unless the removal of that part is necessary
for repairs or replacement.
4. Do not disassemble the tool unless you have a complete
set of new gaskets and O–rings for replacement.
5. Clean the exterior of the Pickhammer before disassembly.
6. Provide a clean work area for disassembling the
Pickhammer.

matter. Place small parts in a clean box to prevent loss.
