The Champion 330 hammer requires a continuous supply of the correct type of Rock Drill Oil. The Champion 330 hammer consumes at least 20 quarts (19 litres) of Rock Drill Oil per hour in order to maintain adequate lubrication. See table 5-1 for recommended Rock Drill Oil.
MANUFACTURER OF DOWN HOLE HAMMERS AND BITS SECTION VI STORAGE When storing a Champion hammer, it is important to take the necessary steps in order to insure smooth operation after restarting.

BUTTON BIT MAINTENANCE GENERAL Numa button bits are designed for fast penetration and long life. Keeping the carbide buttons sharp has a direct effect on both the penetration and the tool life. As the bit wears, flat spots develop on the carbide buttons. These flat spots increase stress on the buttons causing the bit to work harder, which may cause button failure.
