HSS Hire 667/01 Operating & Safety Manual

Run
If the steel becomes jammed in the work DO NOT use
the breaker/pick as a lever. Tease the steel from the
work by pushing then pulling.
If the steel strikes a hidden object, stop the breaker/pick
immediately then check to make sure it is safe to
continue.
Where possible, concentrate on weak spots in the
structure you are breaking – mortar joints, cracks etc.
Alternatively, start close to an edge and gradually work
inward.
Take your time, rushing a job tends to produce poor
results and increases the risk of a serious accident.
Don't over do it – you are more likely to have an
accident if you are suffering from fatigue.

Never push the equipment beyond its design limits. If it
will not do what you want with reasonable ease,
assume you have the wrong tool for the job. Ask at
your local HSS Hire for advice.
Regularly check the condition of the steel, if it shows
signs of excessive wear replace it with a new one,
contact your local HSS Hire for additional replacements.
Keep the equipment clean. You will find this less of a
chore if you clean up regularly, rather than wait until
the end of the hire period.
When not in use, store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe from thieves.
