AIR POWERED EQUIPMENT CONTINUED
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE OPERATOR’S INSTRUCTION MANUAL THOROUGHLY
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT.
Death or serious injury could occur if this equipment is used improperly.
• When operating this equipment, the operator must wear ap-
proved 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. Steel toe safety shoes should be worn.
Head protection is required if work is performed overhead. Wear
proper dust mask based on material being removed.
• Use the correct size air hose for the tool, ½” diameter (mini-
mum). Hose and fi ttings 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.
• Limit the hose length to 30 feet (10 meters) maximum.
Note: The pressure drop of 1/2” diameter hose is
approximately 1 PSI per 90 linear feet.
• Limit the hose length to 30 feet (10 meters) maximum.
Note: The pressure drop of 3/8” diameter hose is
approximately 3 PSI per 90 linear feet.
• A fi lter/water separator must be provided on the air source to
afford an adequate supply of clean, dry air to this machine.
• Disconnect the air supply before performing
any maintenance on this machine. Use only
genuine EDCO parts with this equipment. Fail-
ure to do so may result in seriuos bodily injury or death.
• Replace any damaged parts immediately. Use only genuine
EDCO parts.
• Do NOT force the tool into the work. The hammering action of
the tool will perform the work for you. If the tool does not seem
to perform the work to your specifi cations, check the air supply to
verify proper air pressure and lubricator is functioning properly. If
if above suggestions do not remedy the problem call our customer
service department at 1-800-638-3326 for possible solutions and
trouble shooting.

AIR POWERED EQUIPMENT
DUST WARNING
• To activate machine, attach the air source, fi rmly grip the ma-
chine and then turn the hand lever on the air valve on.
• After turning the air valve hand lever off, the tool will continue
to operate for a few seconds. This is a normal result of stored
up pressuer in the machine casing being released gradually.
Be sure to fi rmly grip the machine until ALL air leaves the
chamber.
• Remove the air source from the machine when not in use.
• 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.
Check the chemical properties of the materials to be removed.
• It is the operator’s responsibility to keep other
people (workers, pedestrains, 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 fl ying debris or exposing
them to harmful dust and noise.
OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints, and
• Crystalline silica from bricks and concrete and
other masonry products.
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your risk: work in
a well ventilated area, use a dust control system, such as an
industrial-style vacuum, and wear approved
• Read and follow all safety decals and labels.
• Maintain a safe operating distance to other personnel.
• Be familiar with all aspects of the machine’s operation and
controls before applying power to the equipment.
• Use the correct accessory for the job being performed and
material being removed. Make sure accessories are mounted
correctly.
• Never operate this machine while under the infl uence of drugs
or alcohol, while taking medications that impair the senses or
reactions, or when excessively tired or under stress.
• Follow the instructions in the operator’s manual and exercise
caution.
• Comply with all local safety and health regulations as well as
EPA and OSHA regulations.
• Maintain a copy of the equipment’s operator’s manual with the
machine for reference at all times.
