For specialized applications, check available interchangeable chisel and blade attachments.
5️⃣ What should I do if my tool experiences a loss of power or inconsistent performance?
If your tool is not performing as expected, follow these troubleshooting steps:
✔ Check air supply – Ensure the air compressor provides 90 PSI and adequate CFM.
