OPERATION

Position the bit at the location to be chipped, then pull the
switch trigger. Apply slight pressure on the tool so that
the tool will not bounce around, uncontrolled. Pressing
very hard on the tool will not increase the efficiency.
NOTE:
• When removing tiles with a scaling chisel, apply the
chisel to the bottom of tiles as shown in the figure. If
you operate the tool with the chisel applied to the
top surface of tiles, the service life of the chisel will
be shortened.
