SAFETY
4. Fully extend the tool while charging the HAMMER with nitrogen gas. Be sure
that the retaining pin is installed. STAY CLEAR OF TOOL POINT WHILE
CHARGING.
5. Do not disassemble a HAMMER before discharging the hammer gas pre-
charge.
6. USE NITROGEN GAS ONLY! Store and handle nitrogen tanks per OSHA
regulations.
7. Avoid high pressure fluids. Escaping fluid under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Relieve pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic or other lines.
8. Operate HAMMER from operator’s seat only.
9. Match HAMMER size to carrier according to NPK recommendations. The
carrier must be stable during hammer operation and during transport.
10. Do not make any alterations to the TOOL without authorization from NPK
Engineering.
11. Use proper lifting equipment and tools when handling or servicing the
HAMMER.
12. Wear ear protection if conditions warrant. Consult OSHA regulations.
13. Wear safety glasses at all times. Beware of flying debris.
14. If modifications are to be made, do not alter the HAMMER without
authorization from NPK Engineering!
15. Use only genuine NPK replacement parts. NPK specifically disclaims any
responsibility for any damage or injury that results from the use of any tool or
parts not sold or approved by NPK.
