Grizzly Model H3142 Connecting to Air System, Basic Operation, Changing Tools

OPERATION

Connecting to Air System

The Model H3142 is designed to be oper-

ated at 80-120 psi. DO NOT exceed the maximum operating pressure!

To connect the Model H3142 to an air compressor:

1.Regulate the air pressure on the air compressor to barely over the minimum 80 PSI required to operate the palm hammer. Increase air pressure only if needed.

2.Attach your air compressor hose to the coupling on the palm hammer.

NOTE: Many pneumatic tools benefit from an in-line filter/lubricator/regulator unit. This attachment is connected by hoses between the air compressor and the palm hammer. Using this unit protects your tool from damaging water build-up, allows you to adjust and maintain constant air pres- sure to your tool, and saves you the incon- venience of having to manually lubricate your tool every time you use it. Check the current Grizzly catalog for availability of this unit. If you plan on installing a filter/lubricator/regulator unit in your com- pressed air system, always follow the con- nection instructions that come with the unit.

Exceeding the maximum permissible operating pressure may cause the palm hammer to explode, blowing metal fragments in all directions. To protect yourself from serious person- al injury, DO NOT allow your air com- pressor to exceed the recommended pressure when connected to this tool!

Basic Operation

The Model H3142 does not have an actua- tion trigger; instead, this unit actuates when one of the installed tools is depressed against the workpiece. There is no safety mechanism so disconnect the palm hammer when not in use or when changing tools!

Specific operating instructions for each tool will be described later in this manual.

Changing Tools

Serious personal injury could occur if palm hammer is connected to air compressor when changing tools.

To change tools:

1.Disconnect the palm hammer from the air compressor.

2.Unscrew the current attachment from the face of the palm hammer.

3.Make sure there is a spring inside the threaded portion of the tool before installing. The longest and narrowest spring is for the chisel tool only.

4.Screw the desired tool into the face of the palm hammer.
