The simple design of the HDD40 provides performance and dependability without sacrificing tool life. The HDD40 is designed for universal applications using air pressure from 150 PSI to 500 PSI (10.2 Bar to 34.5 Bar) with compressors having capacities of 140 CFM (66 Litres/Second) or more.
The feed tube supplies the main air into the chambers located in the piston. It is connected to the backhead by the pin. The feed tube is designed with a long bearing surface to maintain alignment in the backhead. HDD40 Page 2 11/07/2024...
CHUCK The chuck threads into the bottom end of the case with single start threads. It has internal splines that mesh with the splines on the bit body to transmit rotation. HDD40 Page 3 11/07/2024...

Remove all internal irregularities with a fine honing stone. • Remove all external irregularities with an emery cloth. • Clearance between the bit shank and bit bearing should not exceed 0.010" (0.25 mm). • Replace if necessary. • HDD40 Page 7 11/07/2024...
All parts should be cleaned thoroughly and wiped dry before assembly. Oil all parts by hand using Rock Drill Oil to insure easy assembly. • Coat all thread connections with a thread compound to allow joints to thread easily. • HDD40 Page 8 11/07/2024...

The HDD40 hammer requires a continuous supply of the correct type Rock Drill Oil. The HDD40 hammer consumes at least one quart (1 litre) of Rock Drill Oil per hour in order to maintain adequate lubrication. When using Biodegradable Oils, you must increase the total amount by 25%.
If at all possible, the backhead and chuck should be broken loose on the drill rig, this is much easier than trying to do so in the shop. Disassemble the hammer. • Inspect and wipe all the parts clean. • HDD40 Page 14 11/07/2024...
If any internal hammer parts have oxidized, use an emery cloth to polish each part. Wash each hammer part, wipe dry, relubricate with rock drill oil and reassemble the hammer. CAUTION FAILURE TO CHECK INTERNAL PARTS BEFORE RESTARTING THE HAMMER MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE HAMMER. HDD40 Page 15 11/07/2024...
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.
