HSS Hire 30518 Operating & Safety Manual

Handheld Scabblers

Triple

BASIC TECHNIQUES

Always control the scabbler with both hands then
bring the scabbler into contact with the surface to
be prepared.
Adopt a stable posture with both feet on firm
level ground, do not work in areas where you are
forced to stand on loose debris or on a slippery
uneven surface.
On first contact with the surface, the scabbler will
try to wander off line. Take great care until you
become familiar with the tool.
Gently open the air valve allowing the scabbler
head to move slowly at first, until the keying has
started, this will stop the head from wandering over
the work surface and causing unnecessary and
expensive damage.
Once the keying is established, slowly open the air
valve until the scabbler is running at full speed.
Never apply too much pressure, let the scabbler
work at its own pace.
Lift it clear before turning OFF , and wait for moving
parts to stop before putting it aside.

EQUIPMENT CARE

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 Shop for advice.
Regularly check the condition of the head/s, if they
Single
show signs of excessive wear contact your local HSS Hire
Shop for a replacement unit.
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.
Switch OFF the compressor, open the scabbler' s air
valve until all the stored air has been released,
then disconnect the air hose.
Thoroughly clean the scabbler, then neatly coil the
air hose ready for return to your local HSS Hire Shop.
