Safety and operating instructions

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.

shank and the chisel bushing will generate
increased vibrations. To avoid getting exposed to
excessive vibrations, check the chisel bushing for
wear using the gauge that corresponds to the
insertion tool's shank dimension. If it is possible
to push the gauge (point A) fully into the chisel
bushing (to point B) then immediately replace the
chisel bushing. See also "Checking for wear on
the tool shank" for checking the insertion tool's
shank.
♦ If the machine is equipped with vibration-absorbing
handles their function should be checked.
♦ Check that the handles are moving freely(up –
down) and do not jam.
♦ Check that the springs are not damaged, see
"Vibration-absorbing handles main parts".
♦ Change damaged parts immediately.
♦ Replace worn components in good time.
♦ Make sure that all the attached and related
equipment, such as hoses, water separators and
lubricators are properly maintained.
