Cleaning Palm Hammer
Do not allow dust, chips, sand, etc. into the
air connectors or into the body of the palm
hammer; this may result in leaks and dam-
age to the palm hammer and the air fit-
tings.
Use a good solvent to clean the palm ham-
mer tools. Always be sure that the tools
are dry before using them again.
Always disconnect air from palm air
hammer whenever cleaning! If con-
nected to air, hammer may actuate
accidentally, causing serious person-
al injury!
Oiling Palm Hammer
Regular applications of oil will extend the
useful life of the piston assembly.
Special oil has been included with your
new Grizzly Palm Hammer. Before each
use, and regularly during prolonged appli-
cations, place one drop of oil in the palm
hammer air inlet as illustrated in
Figure 6 .
After oiling, wipe off any excess oil near
the exhaust to avoid dust build-up. When
the oil that was included with the palm
hammer has been completely used,
replace it with Grizzly Model G2820
Pneumatic Tool Oil.
Another option to manual oiling would be
to install a lubricator in your air compressor
line. If your air compressor line already has
a lubricator, then regular lubrication of your
palm hammer will not be necessary. Just
make sure there is always oil in the lubri-
cator.
As mentioned before, the best option is to
install a filter/lubricator/regulator unit such
as the Grizzly Model H2333 in your air line.

NOTICE
Too much oil in the hammer will ruin
the O-rings!
