  • Page 5: Section I Description

    DESCRIPTION GENERAL DESCRIPTION The DCS6 is a pneumatically operated tool designed to utilize QL6 6" to 8-1/2" (152 mm to 216 mm) diameter bits in rock formations under a wide range of operating conditions. The DCS6 hammer design incorporates a reversible, hardened case. The single bore design allows for a maximum bore diameter in conjunction with optimum life against abrasion.
  • Page 6: Functional Description

    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. DCS6 Page 2 07/24/2024...

  • Page 25: Section Vii Button Bit Maintenance

    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.
