Working With The Device; Maintenance And Care - HERKULES DLS2000 Manual Del Usuario

Connect hose
1. Connect the hose (not included in the delivery) to the
compressed air source (e.g. on the compressor) and
open the compressed air feed.
2. Check the compressed air hoses and couplings for
leaks. In the event of leaks, interrupt the compressed
air supply and replace the hose!
3. Connect the hose (8) to the connection (5) on the
compressed air device (fig. 3). In doing so, ensure
that the compressed air device does not start up au-
tonomously. If this is the case, disconnect the com-
pressed air coupling immediately. Have the com-
pressed air device repaired by a specialist workshop
or the manufacturer.

Working with the device

m Attention! Danger of extremely serious or even
fatal injuries if the device is pointed at people or
animals and if persons or animals are located with-
in the hazard area - even if there is no tool fitted.
Never point the device at people or animals. The op-
erator is personally responsible for ensuring that there
are no persons or animals in the hazard area of the de-
vice. As soon as persons or animals enter the hazard
area, the operator must immediately stop the device
and ensure that these persons or animals are kept at
an adequate safety distance. The hazard area is always
dependent on the work and the tool. For this reason,
it is the responsibility of the operator to determine the
hazard area.
NOTE! The striking mechanism of the device only op-
erates when the tool is in contact with the material to
be processed. This function is designed to protect the
device against damage.
1. Press the trigger lever (4) to supply the impact mech-
anism with compressed air and start the compressed
air device..
2. Always hold the compressed air device with both
hands during work:
• Hold the compressed air tool with one hand on the
shaft (3) or handle (6) and the other hand on the
trigger lever (4)
3. Note! Hold the tool (7) against the material to be
worked. Do not operate the compressed air device
when it is not in contact with the material! Strokes
with no load lead to increased wear on the tool hex.
and on the sliding sleeve (2) of the tool receiver (1).
4. The grip (6) and shaft (3) are used to guide the de-
vice and not to exert additional force on the material.
Only use enough muscle strength as is required for
the compressed air device to overcome the resist-
ance of the tool guide so that the impact drives for-
wards and the compressed air device does not jump
up but rather works the material instead.
5. A limited degree of levering is possible. Too power-
ful levering can result in the shaft (3) or the tool (7)
breaking. m Risk of injury! Danger of stumbling
if the shaft or tool breaks, due to an unexpected
weight shift. Do not lever too severely.

6. If you release the trigger lever (4), the compressed
air feed is interrupted. The compressed air device
stops with a brief run-on time. m Risk of injury! Dan-
ger of extremely serious or even fatal injuries or
damage to the device or tool if the trigger lever is
permanently locked. Never lock the trigger lever
with cable ties, adhesive tape or by other means.
Check that the tool receiver has been furnished with an
oil film, after 2 hours of operation at the latest. If this is
not the case, introduce a few drops of special oil into
the connection hose. We recommend
operating the compressed air device in conjunction with
a maintenance unit with mist oiler as a matter of prin-
ciple.
It is useful to grease the hex. tool receiver with large
pressing forces.
Excessive oil damps the impact performance. Drops
are forming on the trigger lever or on the tool receiver.
In this case, reduce the oil quantity on the oiler and
clean the device if necessary. Inadequate oil will result
in damage to the device and tool. Check oil feed and
top up oil or adjust oiler if required.
End of work
Interrupt the compressed air supply from the com-
pressed air hose to the device.
With breaks in work:
• Place the compressed air device safely to one side.
• If there are sharp or pointed tools in the device, cover
these up.
At the end of work:
• Interrupt the compressed air supply.
• Remove the tool from the device.
• Check that the tool receiver has been furnished with
an oil film.
• If this is not the case, introduce a few drops of special
oil into the connection hose and operate the device
without tool for ca. 15 seconds.
• Clean the compressed air device, the tools, the hose
and any other accessories with a dry or oily, clean
cloth.

Maintenance and care

If the regular oil supply to the device is assured, the
device is maintenance-free.
Clean the device at regular intervals.
Storage
Note
• Store the device in a dry and frost-free location (10-
25 °C).
• Fertiliser and other garden chemicals contain sub-
stances that can have a severely corrosive effect on
the metal parts. Do not store the device in the vicinity
of these substances.
