When taking a break
♦ During all breaks you must place the machine in
such a way that there is no risk for it to be
unintentionally started. Make sure to place the
machine on the ground, so that it can not fall.
♦ In the event of a longer break or when leaving the
workplace: Switch off the power supply and then
bleed the machine by activating the start and stop
device.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is a basic requirement for the
continued safe and efficient use of the machine.
Follow the maintenance instructions carefully.
Before starting maintenance on the machine,
♦
clean it in order to avoid exposure to hazardous
substances. See "Dust and fume hazard".
Use only authorised parts. Any damage or
♦
malfunction caused by the use of unauthorised
parts is not covered by warranty or product
liability.
When cleaning mechanical parts with solvent,
♦
comply with appropriate health and safety
regulations and ensure there is satisfactory
ventilation.
For major service of the machine, contact the
♦
nearest authorised workshop.
After each service, check that the machine's
♦
vibration level is normal. If not, contact the nearest
authorised workshop.
Every day
Before undertaking any maintenance or changing
the cutting blade on pneumatic machines, always
switch off the air supply and bleed the machine by
depressing the start and stop device. Then
disconnect the air hose from the machine.
♦ Clean and inspect the machine and its functions
each day before work commences.
Conduct a general inspection for leaks and
♦
damage.
Check that the air inlet nipple is tightened and
♦
that the claw coupling is free from damage.
Check the blade guard for damage.

Safety and operating instructions
♦ Replace worn components in good time.
Make sure that all the attached and related
♦
equipment, such as hoses and water separators
are properly maintained.
♦ Perform a total clean-up after each work
commence, and make sure the water nozzle and
the inside of the blade cover is free from dirt, dust,
and slurry. Otherwise the left material can get
hardened and block the water nozzle, or even
adds more weight to the machine.
Periodic maintenance
After each operating period of approximately 150
impact hours or twice a year the machine must be
dismantled and all parts be cleaned and checked.
This work must be performed by authorised staff
who are trained for this task.
