8 tips you should know when operating an air hammer


The air hammer is a essential tool for pin driving, front-end jobs, general bolt cutting, and body shearing work.When operating an air hammer, here are some important tips to keep in mind for safety and efficiency:
-
Wear protective gear: Always wear safety goggles, hearing protection, and gloves to protect yourself from flying debris and loud noise.
-
Check tool and air pressure: Ensure the air hammer and compressor are in good condition. Use the correct air pressure according to the manufacturer's guidelines to avoid damaging the tool or the material you're working on.
-
Secure the workpiece: Make sure the material you're working on is stable and secured to prevent movement while using the air hammer.
-
Hold the tool firmly: Grip the tool with both hands for better control and reduced vibration, but avoid gripping too tightly to minimize fatigue.
-
Use the right attachment: Different tasks require different chisels or attachments. Choose the correct one for the job to achieve the best results.
-
Work at the correct angle: Keep the air hammer at the proper angle (typically 45 degrees for chiseling) to maximize efficiency and prevent damage to the tool or surface.
-
Take breaks: The vibration of an air hammer can lead to hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS). Taking regular breaks can help reduce the risk of injury.
-
Be mindful of noise levels: Air hammers can be very loud, so be considerate of your surroundings, especially in shared workspaces or residential areas.

Point 7 above refers to a common occupational injury when operating an air hammer,clever product engineers racked their brains to figure out how to reduce the harm caused to the wrist by tool vibrations, and thus ST-AH603 was born.

Thanks for Damping System and Active Air Springs ,the ST-AH603 reduce vibration by 70% vibration and provide consistent hammer beating movemently!

Additionally, Integrated quick-change retainer, rotating plastic grip design, aluminum housing with covered rubber grip, are designed with maximum comfortable in mind.
Thus ST-AH603 not only provide more powerful hammer beating, but also more comfortable operating experience.
It has two type for different uses:
●Medium barrel type: ideal for medium duty jobs common in body shop, cutting sheet metal, separating and cutting frame rails, removing rivets.
●Long barrel type: ideal for heavy-duty applications.
