DECLARATION HAMMER SRL THE UNDERISGNED Via Oleifici dell’Italia Meridionale (Manufacturer) Lotto G1 70056 Molfetta (Ba) – Italia DECLARES HEREWITH, ON ITS RESPONSABILITY, THAT THE HYDRAULIC SHEAR COMPLIES WITH THE FOLLOWING RULES: - (EC) DIRECTIVE 2006/42/CE - EUROPEAN RULES EN 474-1 EN 474-5 EN 12100...
WARNING: Before carrying out any operations on this product, read this instruction manual carefully. DESCRIPTION OF THE ATTACHMENT This shear able to perform both primary and secondary demolition. This interchangeable attachment is mounted on excavators designed for earth-moving vehicles. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 3150 ROTATION FLOW l/min...
OPERATION The machine is designed for CUTTING and RECOVERY of ferrous materials. The equipment can rotate to achieve the correct cutting angle. During operation the operator must stay on board the excavator, in the position recommended by the manufacturer. No-one must stand with in a 30 m (100 ft) range of the excavator when it is working. During installation and removal of the attachment, only the mechanic should be within 100 ft (30m) of the operation .

USES NOT PERMITTED ATTENTION DO NOT SHEAR HIGH TENSILE STEEL SUCH AS RAILROAD RAIL, SPRING STEEL, AXLES,TOOL STEEL,CHROMES MATERIAL OR MACHINE PARTS. HARDENED MATERIAL BREAKS, CAUSING FLYING DEBRIS THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. PROCESSING THESE MATERIALS ALSO CAUSES STRUCTURAL AND HYDRAULIC DAMAGE TO THE SHEAR AND 1.
Page 9
5 DO NOT PUSH AGAINST THE GROUND WITH THE MOBILE JAW TO CUT THE MATERIAL 6. DO NOT HIT THE MATERIAL WHILE WORKING 7. DO NOT BEGIN DEMOLITION WORK FROM LOWER PARTS OF A STRUCTURE AS THIS COULD CAUSE THE UPPER PART TO COLLAPSE. 8.
Page 10
RESPONSIBILITY Responsibility for the application of these safety guidelines lies with the individuals in charge of managing the activities listed below: -Transport and installation -Adjustments -Operation -Emergency situations -Maintenance -De-commissioning and demolition These individuals must ensure that all personnel are aware and apply the guidelines within this manual. Not following safety regulations and guidelines may cause injury and possible damage to the machine or its components.
Page 11
APPLICATION VALIDITY OF SAFETY REGULATIONS Never operate an excavator without safety guards installed. Safety glass and wire mesh cab guarding must be installed to protect the operator from flying debris that may be created during processing. Falling object protection structures (F.O.P.S.) are required for any application where material is to be handled overhead.
Page 12
Before the operation Warn all others in the area that you are about to start operation. Check underneath and around the machine for obstructions. Make sure there are no personnel and equipment in the movement and working area of the equipment. Check clearances in all directions, including overhead.
Page 13
Check the Equipment At the beginning of each shift, take the time to check the equipment and have all systems in good operational condition. Check the following: Ensure all warning decals, special instructions and operator’s manuals are legible and in their proper locations.
MOVEMENT AND TRANSPORTATION OF THE ATTACHMENT Please see the above description of the attachment in this manual for an indication of weights and sizes. Given the attachment 's weight and size, it must be moved and transported only by specifically trained personnel.

POSITION AND MEANING OF STICKERS Some STICKERS are applied for the operator and maintainer. 1. ATTENTION: Check regular outflow of oil; 2. ATTENTION: Holes for the insertion of lifting hooks; 3. MAINTENANCE: Position of grease point; 4. ATTENTION: Danger of crushing, maintain a 30 m (100 ft.) range of the fitting position.
The installer, operator, and maintenance personnel must wear the appropriate safety devices specified by the safety regulations in effect in the country where the equipment is used. Hammer Srl denies any liability in the event of accidents if the installer, operator, and maintenance personnel fail to use the appropriate safety devices.
APPROPRIATE SAFETY DEVICES SPECIFIED BY THE PERTINENT SAFETY LEGISLATION IN EFFECT IN THE COUNTRY WHERE THE EQUIPMENT IS USED. ATTENTION: HAMMER SRL DENIES ALL LIABILITY IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENTS IF THE INSTALLER, OPERATOR OR MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL FAIL TO USE THE APPROPRIATE SAFETY DEVICES.

BLADE MAINTENANCE Blade and blade seat maintenance greatly affect performance. To maximize cutting performance and optimize the life of replaceable parts, follow this specific sequence of checks, adjustments and maintenance. 1- Piercing Blades - replace when edges are worn. 2- Upper and Lower Blades - rotate, shim to tolerance, and replace when all edges are worn. All four blades are identical on shears featuring dual guide blades.
PIERCING BLADES Piercing blade maintenance is crucial to productivity and safe operation of the shear. Improper blade gap may cause material jamming and/or blade breakage. Use the following procedure to check for wear. - Slowly close jaws until the piercing blades are flush with the top edge of the razor blade. - Check gap with a tape measure.
Page 21
PIERCING TIP Replacement Procedure 1- Remove piercing tip using an air-impact or breaker bar and multiplier. 2- Remove dust and debris from blade seats; wipe down with a rag and solvent. 3- Lightly file deformities from tooth seat edges. Do not sand or grind face of piercing tip seats.
Page 22
Loosen the bolts on one blade at a time, enough to loosen the blades. If blades remain tight, insert a drift pin into the through-hole on the lower jaw. Tap the drift pin with a hammer until the blade is loose. Carefully remove bolts and blades. Blade Rotation Rotate blades when the cutting edges are worn to a 3 mm (0.12”)radius.
Page 23
Blade Gap Measuring Procedure Slowly close jaws until blades begin to bypass. Stop the jaw and check the gap with a feeler gauge. Cycle the jaws slowly and continue checking the gap at several points along the entire length of the blades. Note: The gap will be consistent along the entire length of the blades if they have been rotated and shimmed correctly.
MOBILE JAW SHIMMING PROCEDURE Before starting the procedure, clean the shear to remove dirt and grease. 1) Remove all guide pucks to allow for unrestricted motion. 2) Remove retaining bolts from collar (opposite side from the fixed jaw cutting edge). 3) Remove collar and shims.
Page 25
6) Remove top pin with grease nipple. 7) Measure the gap with a feeler gauge. (Gap is located between the spacer indicated in green and the frame of the shear indicated in grey). 8) Add/remove shims to compensate for the gap.
Page 26
9) Insert top pin with grease nipple. 10) Loosen off set screws, then lightly tighten them to hold them in place. 11) Insert and tighten 4 pin retaining bolts. 12) Replace collar and shims. 13) Insert collar retaining bolts and tighten. 14) Grease pin.
AUTO GUIDE Use the following procedure to maintain the proper gap and shim the guide puck. • Slowly close the upper jaw until the guide puck is centered on the wear area. • Check the gap, using a feeler gauge or shims. •...
GUIDE PUCK SHIMMING PROCEDURE 1) Remove collar retaining bolts. 2) Remove collar. 3) Remove two loose bolts from behind collar. 4) Flip collar 180 degrees and replace.
Page 29
5) Insert the two bolts that were behind the collar and lightly tighten. This pushes the collar against the pin and identifies the gap between the guide puck and the frame. Remove previous shims. 6) Measure the gap with a feeler gauge to choose the correct shims.
Page 30
9) Replace the bolts behind the collar. 10) Insert the collar in its original position. 11) Insert collar retaining bolts and tighten. 12) Grease the guide puck through its grease nipple. Note: Repeat steps for remaining guide pucks. Following the procedure, ensure that the mobile jaw moves freely up and down.

INFORMATION REGARDING DISMANTLEMENT DEMOLITION OF THE MACHINE ATTENTION If you ever decide to scrap the machine, you are advised to render it inoperable by dismantling the various components. All the dismantling process must be carried out by specialized personnel. Every time the machine is moved around on the demolition site, a suitable means of transport must be used, with a carrying capacity greater than the weight of the machine.
