4. AIRSUPPLY
4.1. AIR SUPPLY
WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating the hammer. Too high an air pressure and
unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
4.1.1. Ensure hammer valve (or trigger) is in the “off” position before connecting to the air supply.
4.1.2. You will require an air pressure of 90psi, and an air flow according to specification.
4.1.3. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the hammer.
4.1.4. Clean air inlet filter weekly. Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig.1.
4.1.5. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.
4.2. COUPLINGS (See gs.1 & 2).
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the hammer. To overcome this, connect a leader hose
to the hammer. A quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose.
5. OPERATION
NOTE: Numbers in brackets refer to parts list.
The air hammer is designed primarily for use on vehicle bodywork. We DO NOT recommend any other use. Ensure you read, understand
and follow the safety instructions in Section 1.
5.1. Attach the retaining spring (7) by screwing it onto the Cylinder (6).
5.2. Insert the chisel using the hooked end of the spring to hold the chisel in place.
5.3. Attached the tool to the air supply (see Section 4).
5.4. To operate the hammer, squeeze the trigger (8). The air regulator (13) may be used as a means of throttle control.
6. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Disconnect the hammer from the air supply before changing chisels, servicing or performing any maintenance.
6.1. Keep the hammer oiled for optimum performance. Lubricate with a good grade of air tool oil such as Sealey ATO/500 or ATO/1000.
If there is no oiler in the air system then a teaspoon of oil can be poured into the air inlet of the hammer, or into the hose at the nearest
connection to the air supply. Then run the hammer for a short time.
Note: The following external factors may cause loss of power and effect hammer performance:
6.2. The air supply. Reduced compressor output, excessive drain on the air line, moisture or restrictions in air pipes or the use of hose
connectors having too small a bore. Correct as necessary.
6.3. The hammer. Grit or gum deposits in the tool. Correct by cleaning the air strainer and flushing out the tool with gum solvent oil or an
equal mixture of SAE No.10 oil and kerosene. If, despite taking action as above, the tool function is still impaired, contact your local
Sealey stockist.

WARNING! – Risk of Hand Arm Vibration Injury.
This tool may cause Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome if its use is not managed adequately.
This tool is subject to the vibration testing section of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
This tool is to be operated in accordance with these instructions.
This tool has been tested in accordance with: EN ISO 28927-2:2009 & BS EN ISO 15744:2008.
Declaration and verification of Vibration Emission figures are in accordance with EN 12096:1997
Measured vibration emission value (a): 13.4 m/s²
Uncertainty value(k): 1.5 m/s²
Please note that the application of the tool to a sole specialist task may produce a different average vibration emission. We recommend that a
specific evaluation of the vibration emission is conducted prior to commencing with a specialist task.
A health and safety assessment by the user (or employer) will need to be carried out to determine the suitable duration of use for each tool.
NB: Stated Vibration Emission values are type-test values and are intended to be typical.
Whilst in use, the actual value will vary considerably from and depend on many factors.
Such factors include; the operator, the task and the inserted tool or consumable.
NB: ensure that the length of leader hoses is sufficient to allow unrestricted use, as this also helps to reduce vibration.
The state of maintenance of the tool itself is also an important factor, a poorly maintained tool will also increase the risk of Hand Arm Vibration
Syndrome.
Health surveillance.
We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms of vibration injury so that management procedures can be modified
accordingly.
Personal protective equipment.
We are not aware of any personal protective equipment (PPE) that provides protection against vibration injury that may result from the
uncontrolled use of this tool. We recommend a sufficient supply of clothing (including gloves) to enable the operator to remain warm and dry and
maintain good blood circulation in fingers etc. Please note that the most effective protection is prevention, please refer to the Correct Use and
Maintenance section in these instructions. Guidance relating to the management of hand arm vibration can be found on the HSC website
www.hse.gov.uk - Hand-Arm Vibration at Work.
