Safety and operating instructions
Methods to prevent freezing
Ice formation in the muffler can occur when the
ambient air temperature is 32-50 °F (0-10 °C) and
the relative humidity is high.
The machine is designed to avoid the formation of
ice in the muffler. Despite this, under extreme
conditions ice can form in the muffler.
The following actions can be taken to further
counteract the risk of ice formation:
Use an air tool oil containing antifreeze agents.
♦
Use a water separator.
♦
Connecting a water
separator
The length of the air hose between the compressor
and the water separator must be such that the water
vapor is cooled and condenses in the hose before
reaching the water separator.
If the ambient temperature is below 32 °F (0 °C) the
hose must be short enough to prevent the water
from freezing before reaching the water separator.
Lubrication
Lubrication
The lubricant is important for the machine s function
and has a great impact on the service life. In order
to supply the correct volume of oil, an oiler should
be connected to the air hose. The use of Chicago
Pneumatic air line oiler is recommended. To
guarantee good lubrication, the length of the air
hose between the oiler and the pneumatic tool
should not exceed 10 feet (3 m).
Too much lubrication can cause starting problems,
low power or uneven performance.
Recommended Lubricant: Air tool oil with a viscosity
of 100-150 SUS (ISO VG 22–32) up to 100°F (38°C)
or 200-300 SUS (ISO VG 46-68) above 100°F (38°C).
It is recommended that the oil contains a
rust-inhibitor.

Insertion tool
CAUTION
Hot insertion tool
The tip of the insertion tool can become hot and
sharp when used. Touching it can lead to burns and
cuts.
Never touch a hot or sharp insertion tool.
►
Wait until the insertion tool has cooled down
►
before carrying out maintenance work.
NOTICE
Never cool a hot insertion tool in water,
it can result in brittleness and early failure.
Selecting the right insertion tool
Selecting the right insertion tool is a precondition
for proper machine function. It is important to select
insertion tools of high quality to avoid unnecessary
machine damage.
The machine can be destroyed if you use an incorrect
insertion tool.
Recommended insertion tools are listed in the
machine's spare parts list.

Wide bladed chisel
WARNING
Vibration hazard
Using inserted tools that do not fulfil the criterias
mentioned below, will result in a longer time to
complete a task, and may result in higher levels of
vibration exposure. A worn tool will also cause
increased working time.
Make sure that the inserted tool is
►
well-maintained, not worn out and of the proper
size.
Always use a sharp tool in order to work
►
efficiently.

CP 0222
The narrow chisel is used for
demolition and cutting work in
concrete and other types of
hard materials.
The moil point is only used for
making holes in concrete and
other types of hard materials.
The wide bladed chisel is used
in soft materials, such as
asphalt and frozen ground.
