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.
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...
CHUCK The chuck threads into the bottom end of the case with double start threads. It has internal splines that mesh with the splines on the bit body to transmit rotation. DCS6 Page 3 07/24/2024...

As an alternative to Rock Drill Oil, Numa Enviro Lube provides continuous protection for the DCS6 when 3 oz. (.09 litres) are used every 300' (92 m) or four hours of drilling, whichever occurs first. Numa Enviro Lube is utilized in 3-1/2" to 6" hammers only.
In addition, each rod (pin and box end) should be wiped clean and capped to prevent foreign contaminants from sticking to the connector ends. SHORT TERM STORAGE When the DCS6 hammer will be stored for only a short period of time the following steps should be taken: •...
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. DCS6 Page 20 07/24/2024...
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.
