Chisels for Air Hammers

Air powered hammers such as the PH3050BR and AT2050 provide the ability to rapidly perform many punching driving, slitting, chiseling etc. jobs. In addition to using the safety measures of eye and hearing protection, there are specific precautions that should be followed when using certain accessories.

In particular, always follows these safety measures:

  • Do not use the PHG55A or PHG55B chisel for cutting material harder than the chisel. Examples of these harder materials are case hardened steel and bearing races.
  • Do not use a chisel that is already chipped. An already-chipped chisel can further chip much more easily and present the hazard of flying chips.
  • Do not use a chipped or broken chisel as a punch.
