      @@jeremychurch590 Its funny, I came here to say this, It might not be exactly the correct fix, but it would be a potentially easy fix to just adjust the treadle so that you can't give it too much 'gas.'

  • @bruno.martinkim6399
    @bruno.martinkim6399 4 роки тому +485

    Suggestion: put a stopper under the foot pedal until you've fixed the issue with the timing. This will give you a "safe guard" on how far you can press on it with your feet.

    • @addichim
      @addichim 4 роки тому +97

      the reason why they have this problem is because the hammer doesn't sit directly on the floor as it's supposed to so the foot pedal goes down further than it needs to, as topper would be the quickest solution I agree.

      If they made mechanical hammers about the size Will's little giant, they would sell like hot cakes.

    Can I make a rather URGENT suggestion? I'm going to, regardless. The suggestion is THIS:
    establish an IRON-CLAD RULE (forgive the pun) that if you are operating the Chambersburg, YOU ARE WEARING A HARDHAT!
    As someone whose life has been saved by safety-equipment (someone dropped 90lbs. box of exercise equipment on my head), I can tell you that THAT MOMENT, the moment in which you realize that if you HADN'T been wearing a hardhat that you would already be DEAD, makes a bigger impression than the thing that bounced of your hardhat WOULD have made.
