Brochure
As with any professional grade tool, the UTILITY AIRSPADE
requires regular care to ensure proper operation. Prior to each
use, inspect the tool for any loose or visibly damaged parts.
Tighten or replace worn parts as required. Inspect the ber-
glass barrel for cracks, wear, or other damage. Remove dirt or
other foreign material from around the trigger and valve stem
areas, and from the berglass barrel. Periodically apply light oil
or lubricant (e.g. WD40) to ensure smooth operation.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Best Practices
Excavation Tips
Watering the work area ahead of time can often be helpful. Watering reduces
airborne dust if the soil is extremely dry. It also reduces the soil strength making
digging easier.
For deeper excavations or trenches loosen the soil in layers of several inches.
Remove the soil with a shovel or vacuum. Repeat the procedure until the desired
depth is reached.
Except in very hard and compacted clay, dwelling on the same spot tends to reduce
the rate at which material is excavated and can increase the amount of material
blown away from the excavation site.
For boring small diameter holes, position the UTILITY AIRSPADE barrel perpendicular
to the ground with the nozzle close to the surface. Depress the trigger, slowly
thrust the tool into the soil. When resistance is met, slowly withdraw the UTILITY
AIRSPADE and then reinsert. This procedure allows loose soil at the bottom
of the hole to exit upwards. Reinsert the nozzle and repeat the above procedure
until the desired depth of hole is reached.
