PUTTING INTO SERvICE
If such equipment is not used then the tool should be lubricated by shutting off the air supply to
the tool and then depressurizing the line by pressing the trigger on the tool. Disconnect the air line
and pour into the air inlet 1 teaspoon (5cc.) of a suitable pneumatic motor lubricating oil, preferably
incorporating a rust inhibitor. Reconnect tool to air supply and run tool slowly for a few seconds to
allow air to circulate the oil.
Lubricate tool daily if used frequently, or when it starts to slow or lose power.
USING AN AIR ChISEL hAMMER
1) Read all instructions before using this tool. All operators must be fully trained in its use and aware
of these safety rules.
2) Do not exceed the maximum working air pressure of 90 psi/6.2 bar.
3) Use personal safety equipment.
4) Use only compressed air at the recommended conditions.
5) If the tool appears to malfunction, remove from use immediately and arrange for service and repair.
6) If the tool is used with a balancer or other support device, ensure that it is fixed securely.
7) Always keep hands away from the working attachment fitted to the tool.
8) The tool is not electrically insulated. Never use the tool if there is any chance of it coming into
contact with live electricity.
9) When using the tool, always adopt a firm footing and/or position and grip the tool firmly to
counteract any forces or reaction forces that may be generated while using the tool.
10) Use only genuine Bostitch spare parts or parts which perform equivalently. Do not make
temporary or permanent repairs with unauthorized parts.
11) Do not lock, tape, wire, etc. the on/off trigger in the run position. The trigger must always be free
to return to the "off" position when it is released.
12) Always shut off the air supply to the tool and depress the trigger to release air from the feed hose
before fitting, adjusting or removing the working attachment.
13) Check hoses and fittings regularly for wear. Replace if necessary. Do not carry the tool by its
hose. Ensure the hand is removed from the on/off trigger when carrying the tool with the air supply
connected.
14) Take care against entanglement of moving tool parts with clothing, ties, hair, cleaning rags, etc.
This will cause the body to be drawn towards the tool and can be very dangerous.
15) It is expected that users will adopt safe working practices and observe all relevant legal
requirements when installing, using or maintaining the tool.
16) Only install the tool when an easily accessible and easily operable on/off switch is incorporated in
the air supply.
17) Take care that the tool exhaust air does not cause problems or blow onto another person.
18) Never lay a tool down unless the working attachment has stopped moving.
19) Chisels that are worn or blunt at the cutting edge or shank should not be used as such conditions
promote tool breakage, reduce efficiency and increase vibration. A chisel which breaks can cause
injury by creating unexpected movement.
20) When chipping or scaling in potentially explosive environment, use spark resistant chisels (usually
made of beryllium copper).Consult the tool manufacturer before using tool in this manner.
21) Do not store chisels at 32°F (0°C) or lower temperatures. Freezing temperatures can make
hardened steels brittle, which can cause breakage and lead to injury.
22) Do not start tool until steel/chisel/needles are in contact with the working surface. Do not run tool
unless retainer is fitted.
23) Do not over reach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
24) Do not force the tool but allow it to cut.
25) When possible secure work with clamps or vice so both hands are free to operate the tool.
26) Use correct size of chisel shank to match the tool.
27) Chisels and chisel spring retainers should be kept in good condition and replaced if worn or
damaged.
