Air Supply Requirements
1. Supply tool with 90 psig (6.2 bar) of clean, dry air. Higher pressure reduces tool
life.
2. Connect tool to air line using pipe, hose, and fitting sizes shown in the diagram
on page 12.
Lubrication
Use an air line lubricator with air tool oil, adjusted to two drops per minute. If an
air line lubricator cannot be used, add air motor oil to the inlet once a day.
Noise & Vibration Declaration*
Sound pressure level 95 dB(A) in accordance with Pneurop PN8NTC1.2. For
sound power, add 10 dB(A).
2
Vibration value 4.8 m/s , re. ISO 8662-2.
Operation
1. To insert chisel, hold chisel end of tool away from face, turn knurled ring
clockwise. Insert chisel and turn knurled ring counter-clockwise (exhaust ports
will be aligned with cutout in knurled ring).
2. Place cutting edge of chisel against workpiece, depress trigger.
c
Caution: Do not operate tool without chisel in cylinder, or allow the
chisel to be driven out of cylinder. Internal damage will result if piston is
allowed to strike cylinder wall.
Maintenance
1. Disassemble and inspect air hammer every three months if the tool is used
every day. Replace damaged or worn parts.
2. High wear parts are underlined in the parts list.
*These declared values were obtained by laboratory type testing in compliance with the stated standards and are not
adequate for use in risk assessments. Values measured in individual work places may be higher than the declared values. The
actual exposure values and risk of harm experienced by an individual user are unique and depend upon the way the user
works, the workpiece and the workstation design, as well as upon the exposure time and the physical condition of the user. We,
Chicago Pneumatic, cannot be held liable for the consequences of using the declared values, instead of values reflecting the
actual exposure, in an individual risk assessment in a work place situation over which we have no control.
To reduce risk of injury, everyone using, installing,
repairing, maintaining, changing accessories on, or
working near this tool must read and understand
these instructions before performing any such task.
The goal of Chicago Pneumatic is to produce tools that help you work safely and
efficiently. The most important safety device for this or any tool is YOU. Your
care and good judgment are the best protection against injury. All possible
hazards cannot be covered here, but we have tried to highlight some of the
important ones.
