HSS Hire 372 Operating And Safety Manual

If possible, drape the demolition hammers power

supply cable over one shoulder to keep it clear of
the steel, but make sure there is still enough slack
so you are not restricted in movement.
Begin slowly, allowing the steel to mark the
surface, this will stop the steel from wandering over the
work surface and causing unnecessary and expensive
damage.
Never apply too much pressure, let the demolition
hammer/steel work at its own pace.
Lift it clear before turning OFF , and wait for moving
parts to stop before putting it aside.
If the steel becomes jammed in the work DO NOT
use the demolition hammer as a lever. Tease the
steel from the work by pushing then pulling.
If the steel strikes a hidden object, stop the
demolition hammer immediately then check to make
sure it is safe to continue.
Where possible, concentrate on weak spots in the
structure you are breaking - mortar joints, cracks etc.
Alternatively, start close to an edge and gradually work
inwards.
Take your time, rushing a job tends to produce poor
results and increases the risk of a serious accident.
Don't overdo it - you are more likely to have an accident
if you are suffering from fatigue.
EQUIPMENT CARE
Never push the equipment beyond its design
limits. If it will not do what you want with reasonable

ease and speed, assume you have the wrong size
demolition hammer for the job. Contact your local HSS
Hire Shop for advice.
Demolition
Keep the equipment clean - you will find this less of a
chore if you clean it regularly, rather than wait until the
