SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Accessory Hazards
Never use any chisel as a hand struck tool. They are
specifically designed and heat-treated to be used only in
air hammers.
Select the correct shank and retainer for the tool being
used.
Never use dull accessories as they require excessive work
pressure and can break from fatigue.
Never cool a hot accessory in water. Brittleness and early
failure can result.
This tool and its accessories must not be modified in any
way.
Chicago Pneumatic hammers are not intended for use
with any accessories that are not listed in the catalog.
Accessory breakage or tool damage may result from
prying. Take smaller bites to avoid getting struck.
Workplace Hazards
Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or death.
Be aware of excess hose left on the walking or work
surface.
High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss.
Use hearing protection as recommended by your
employer or OSHA regulation (see 29 CFR part 1910).
Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.
Repetitive work motions, awkward positions and
exposure to vibration can be harmful to hands and arms. If
numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin occurs,
stop using tool and consult a physician.
Avoid inhaling dust or handling debris from the work
process which can be harmful to your health. Use dust
extraction and wear respiratory protective equipment
when working with materials which produce airborne
particles.
Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. Hidden
hazards may exist, such as electric or other utility lines.
This tool is not intended for use in explosive atmospheres
and is not insulated for contact with electric power
sources.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead based paints
- Crystalline silica bricks and cement and other masonry
products
- And Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
rubber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that
are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
For professional use only.
