1. When operating this equipment, the operator must wear approved job related safety attire. Eye and hearing protection must be worn at all times while equipment is in use as sound levels exceed 92 dBA. Steeltoe safety shoes should be worn. Head protection is required if work is performed overhead. Wear proper dust mask based on material being removed.
   
   
   
   
2. Use the correct size air hose for the tool, ½ diameter (minimum). Hose and fittings must be rated for safe handling in excess of 100 PSI pressure. The working pressure of this tool is 80-90 PSI and should never be allowed to exceed 100 PSI.
   
   
3. Limit the hose length to 30 feet (10 meters) maximum. Note: The pressure drop of ½” diameter hose is approximately 1 PSI per 90 linear feet.
   
   
4. A filter/water separator must be provided on the air source to afford an adequate supply of clean, dry air to this tool. A lubricator should also be used. If a lubricator is unavailable, lubricate the tool daily by putting 6 to 7 drops of lightweight machine oil in the hose connector opening prior to connecting the air supply. In cold weather, use graphite oil for lubrication.
   
   Disconnect the air supply before removing or installing a chisel or accessory. Squeeze the hand lever to release all compressed air from the tool. Use only genuine EDCO chisels and accessories with this equipment. Failure to do so may result in serious bodily injury or death.
   
   
5. To install or remove chisel: Disconnect the air supply. Squeeze the hand lever to release all compressed air. Pull back on the spring loaded locking
   collar and hold while removing the chisel. Hold back on the spring loaded locking collar while firmly seating the new chisel in the holder. Release collar to retain the chisel.
   
   
6. The appropriate accessory must be used for the job at hand. DO NOT force the tool into the work. The hammering action of the tool will perform the work for you. NEVER USE THE TOOL AS A PRY BAR. Damage to the equipment will result. If the tool does not seem to perform the work to your specifications, try another accessory or call your local rental center.
   
   
7. To activate tool, attach the air source, firmly grip the tool then squeeze the hand lever on the air valve.
   
   
8. After releasing the air valve hand lever, the tool will continue to operate for up to 15 seconds. This is a normal result of stored pressure in the tool casing being released gradually. Be sure to firmly grip the tool until ALL air leaves the chamber.
   
   
9. Remove the air source from the tool when not in use.
   
   
10. This equipment will create dust from the material being removed. That dust may contain a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm. As an example, paints and concrete contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm. Check the chemical properties of the materials to be removed.
    
    
11. It is the operator’s responsibility to keep other people (workers, pedestrians, bystanders, etc.) away during operation. Block off the work area in all directions with roping, safety netting, etc. for a safe distance. Failure to do so may result in others being injured by flying debris or exposing them to harmful dust and noise.
