Safety Information

General Power Tool Safety: Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Do not operate in explosive atmospheres. Keep children and bystanders away.

Electrical Safety: Ensure the plug matches the outlet. Do not modify the plug. Use a GFCI-protected supply in damp locations. Use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use if working outside.

Personal Safety: Always wear eye protection, hearing protection, and a dust mask. Ensure the switch is in the OFF position before connecting to power. Maintain a firm grip with both hands.

Vibration Safety: This tool vibrates during use. If you experience tingling, numbness, or white/blue fingers, seek medical advice. Do not smoke during use as nicotine reduces blood supply to hands.

Setup and Functions

Tool Setup: Ensure the switch is in the OFF position and the tool is unplugged before performing any setup.

• Chisel Installation: Pull the chuck back to open. Grease the chisel shank. Insert the shank into the chuck as far as it will go and release the chuck. Pull on the chisel to verify it is secure.
• Side Handle Adjustment: Turn the function knob counterclockwise to loosen, slide the handle to the desired position, and turn the knob clockwise to lock.

2. Set the tip of the chisel against the work area.
3. Place one hand on the side handle and the other on the main handle.
4. Press the switch to activate.
5. Do not force the tool; let its own weight supply the needed force.

Warm-up: If the tool has not been used for a long period or is being used in low temperatures, run it for about five minutes to warm up.

Maintenance and Servicing

Cleaning and Lubrication:

• Before Each Use: Inspect for loose hardware, damaged cords, or dull/cracked chisels.
• After Use: Wipe external surfaces with a clean cloth.
• Lubrication: The tool has air-tight construction, requiring lubrication every three months of continuous use. Open the oil tank cover, fill with 1/8 ounce of lubricating grease, and replace the cover.

Carbon Brushes: The tool will cease operation once carbon brushes are worn. If the red indicator light on the side of the tool is lit, have a qualified technician replace the carbon brushes.

Troubleshooting

If the tool will not start, check the power source, cord connection, and circuit breaker. If performance decreases or the tool overheats, check for dull accessories or blocked motor vents. If the red indicator light is on, the carbon brushes are worn and require professional replacement.
