ilmaisukeulana

Ilmaisukeulana is a Finnish term that translates to "air chisel" or "pneumatic hammer" in English. It refers to a handheld power tool that uses compressed air to drive a piston. This piston, in turn, strikes a chisel bit, causing it to repeatedly hammer against a surface. The rapid impact action makes it suitable for a variety of demolition and shaping tasks.

These tools typically require an air compressor to operate, as they need a continuous supply of pressurized air. The size and power of an ilmaisukeulana can vary, with smaller models used for lighter work like removing tile or mortar, and larger, more powerful versions employed for heavy-duty demolition of concrete, stone, or brick.

The chisel bits used with an ilmaisukeulana come in various shapes and sizes, designed for specific applications. Common examples include flat chisels for general breaking, point chisels for precise fracturing, and scaling chisels for removing rust or scale. Safety precautions are essential when operating an ilmaisukeulana due to the noise, vibration, and flying debris. This includes wearing appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, hearing protection, and gloves.
