HSS Hire TE1000 Operating & Safety Manual

ADJUSTING CHISELING POWER

Chiseling power can be adjusted only when the power
tool is switched on and ready for use.
Chiseling power can be reduced to approx. 70% by pressing
the power level selector switch. The power level LED then
lights indicating reduced power.
To reselect full chiseling power, press the chiseling power
level selector switch again. Switching off and then on again
also causes the power tool to return to full chiseling power.

CHISELING TIPS

Start chiseling by position the tip of the chisel approx. 80-
100 mm from the edge of the workpiece.
When working on workpiece with reinforcing bars
always guide the tip of the chisel toward the edge of the
workpiece, not toward reinforcing bars.
Begin with the chisel positioned at an angle of 70° to 80° to
the concrete surface, with the tip of the chisel pointing
toward the edge of the workpiece.
To break material away increase the angle to approx. 90° as
the chisel penetrates.
NOTE: The chisel should be rotated at regular
intervals as even wear assists the self-sharpening
process.
CAUTION
If inadequate pressure is applied,
the chisel will jump around uncontrollably.
Application of excessive pressure will result in a loss
of chiseling performance.

EQUIPMENT CARE

Never push the equipment beyond its design limits. If it
will not do what you want with reasonable ease and speed,
assume you have the wrong equipment for the job. Contact
your local HSS Hire for advice.
Handle the equipment with care. Avoid dropping it,
knocking it, or otherwise exposing it to damage.
Never expose the equipment to dangerous and/or
corrosive chemicals.
Keep the equipment clean - you will find this less of a
chore if you clean it regularly, rather than wait until the end
of the hire period.
Periodically check that the steel's base is lightly
greased. If it's dry, re-grease it.
When not in use, store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe from thieves.
Switch OFF both the tool and its power supply before
unplugging it and neatly coiling its flex.
Pull back the chuck's collar and remove the steel.
Finally, clean the equipment with a damp cloth (never
use cleaning agents) ready for return to your local HSS Hire.
The law requires that personnel using this type of equipment
must be competent and qualified to do so. Training is available at
