Safety and operating instructions

Breaking

♦ Let the machine do the work; do not press too
hard. The vibration-reducing handle must
absolutely not be pressed all the way down to the
base.
♦ For pneumatic breakers with vibration-reducing
handles: The feed force should be adapted so that
the handles are pressed down 'half way'. The best
vibration damping and breaking effect is achieved
at this position.
♦ Avoid working in extremely hard materials for
example granite and reinforcing iron (re-bar) which
would cause substantial vibrations.
♦ Any form of idling, operating without insertion tool
or operating with an uplifted machine must be
avoided.
♦ When the machine is lifted, the start and stop
device must not be activated.
♦ Check regularly that the machine is well lubricated.

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 insertion tool 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 the work commences.
♦ Check the tool retainer for wear and function.
♦ 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 regularly that the oil plug is tightened.
♦ Check that the O-ring on the oil plug is undamaged
and that it closes tightly.
♦ Check the threads in the machine lubricator and
on the oil plug. Make sure they are not damaged
or worn out.
