Abstract
A diesel hammer (20) is adapted to produce uplift blows by connecting its casing (30) via a pulling connection (52) to a case (24) to be pulled, removing vent plugs (76) from the top of the casing, sealing all other openings (78), (82), (94), in the casing, applying compressed air from an external source (106) under the hammer ram (32) to drive it upwardly and thereafter allowing controlled flow of air out of the casing via a bleed line (118) and an adjustable orifice (238) to cushion the subsequent fall of the ram.
