H3142 Pneumatic Palm Hammer Kit -5-
Connecting to Air System Basic Operation
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!
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.
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
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.
Serious personal injury could occur if
palm hammer is connected to air
compressor when changing tools.
