Controls & adjustments
To start removing ceramic tiles, press the Trigger switch and push the chisel
on the tiles. Pressing the Triger switch will activate the tool motor and the
push movement will initiate the impact action.
Depending on the type of tiles and/or to remove mortar, you may have to change
the angle of the tool. To change the angle, press on the Tool angle selector
switch up or down until proper angle is set. (See the picture below).
Chisel selection
WARNING: Always disconnect the power cord before proceeding to the chisel installation or removal. The Eddy Tile Breaker comes with a complete set of 3 sizes of chisels. You have the option between 1 inch, 2 inch and 3 inch chisels. They are conveniently located at the back of the tool.

Maintenance
Tool use and care Do not force the tool. Use the correct chisel for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it is designed.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any maintenance of the
tool.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools. Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool.
Use only chisels that are supplied with the tool. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.
Cleaning
To avoid accidents always disconnect the tool from the power supply before
cleaning or performing any maintenance. The tool may be cleaned most
effectively with compressed dry air. Always wear safety goggles when cleaning
tools with compressed air.
WARNING: Ventilation openings and controls must be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through openings.
Warning: Certain cleaning agents and solvents damage plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents that contain ammonia.
Tool lubrification
WARNING: Prior to greasing, always disconnect the plug from the power supply.
Your Eddy Tile Breaker has been properly lubricated and is ready to use. It
is recommended that the tool be re-greased with a gear lubricant after
approximately 40 running hours, i.e.2 hrs. for 20 days.
Adjust the angle of the tool to the maximum upright position. Remove the cap
and fill with gear grease. Use a PAO based grease with a high dropping point
and broad application temperature range. We recommend to use synthetic greases
that use a calcium sulfonate complex thickener along with synthetic PAO oil.
An example of such a grease would be Lubex Syn from Irving.
The grease that comes with the tool is used for greasing the chisel so that
they can be inserted more easily.

Carbon brushes
The carbon brushes used in your tool have been engineered for many hours of
dependable service. To maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we recommend
every two to six months that the brushes must be examined. Only genuine Eddy
91 replacement brushes specially designed for your tool must be used.
Accessories
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size conductors that is capable of carrying the current necessary for your tool must be used. This will prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating. Grounded tools must use 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and receptacles.
Note: The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
