2. Inspeccionar: Visually inspect each tool for any manufacturing defects or shipping damage. Ensure all 9 pieces are present as listed in the "Product Components" section.
3. Neteja: Wipe down tools with a clean, dry cloth to remove any protective oils or debris.

Instruccions de funcionament

Each tool in the ATD-5730 set has a specific function. Always select the correct tool for the task to ensure efficiency and safety.

• General Chisel Use:
  1. Position the chisel's cutting edge at the desired point on the workpiece.
  2. Hold the chisel firmly with one hand, ensuring your fingers are clear of the striking end.
  3. Strike the head of the chisel with a hammer, applying controlled force. For precise work, start with lighter taps and increase force as needed.
  4. Maintain the correct angle for the cut or separation.
• Panel Cutters (Double Blade, Straight):

  These are typically used with an air hammer. Insert the shank into the air hammer's chuck. Position the cutting edge against the sheet metal and activate the air hammer. Guide the tool along the desired cut line.

• Spot Weld Breaker:

  Attach to an air hammer. Place the tip directly onto the spot weld. Activate the air hammer to break the weld without distorting the surrounding metal.

• Raspador:

  Can be used manually or with an air hammer. For manual use, apply pressure and push or pull to scrape material. With an air hammer, the vibrations assist in material removal.
• Tapered Punch:

  Used to align holes in mating parts or to drive out pins. Insert the tapered end into the hole and strike the head with a hammer until alignment is achieved or the pin is driven out.

• Smoothing Hammer:

  Typically used with an air hammer. The broad, flat face is designed to gently tap and smooth metal surfaces, removing minor imperfections or shaping. Use controlled, even pressure.

Manteniment

Proper maintenance extends the life of your tools and ensures their continued performance.

• Neteja: After each use, clean tools to remove dirt, grease, and metal shavings. A wire brush can be used for stubborn debris.
• Afilat: Chisels will dull with use. Sharpen cutting edges regularly using a grinding wheel or file, maintaining the original bevel angle. Avoid overheating the metal during sharpening, which can alter its temper.
• Dressing Mushroomed Heads: The striking end of chisels and punches can mushroom over time. Grind off any mushroomed edges to restore the original shape and prevent metal fragments from breaking off.
• Prevenció de l'òxid: Apply a light coat of oil to metal surfaces, especially cutting edges, before storing to prevent rust.
• Emmagatzematge: Store tools in a dry environment, preferably in a tool roll, box, or rack that protects the cutting edges and prevents them from contacting other tools.
