Safety and operating instructions
Breaking
Let the machine do the work; do not press too
♦
hard. The vibration-absorbing handle must
absolutely not be pressed all the way down to the
base.
For pneumatic machines with vibration-absorbing
♦
handles: The feed force should be adapted so that
the handle is pressed down 'half way'. The best
vibration damping and breaking effect is achieved
at this position.
Avoid working in extremely hard materials for
♦
example granite and reinforcing iron (re-bar)
which would cause substantial vibrations.
Any form of idling, operating without insertion
♦
tool or operating with an uplifted machine must
be avoided.
When the machine is lifted, the start and stop
♦
device must not be activated.
♦
Check regularly that the machine is well
lubricated.
When taking a break
♦
During all breaks you must place the machine in
such a way that there is no risk for it to be
unintentionally started. Make sure to place the
machine on the ground, so that it can not fall.
♦
In the event of a longer break or when leaving the
workplace: Switch off the power supply and then
bleed the machine by activating the start and stop
device.
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.
For the machine to maintain the specified
♦
vibration values, always check the following:
Too large a clearance between the insertion tool s
shank and the chisel bushing will generate
increased vibrations. To avoid getting exposed to
excessive vibrations, check the chisel bushing for
wear every day.
If the machine has a vibration-absorbing
♦
handle/handles, check that it moves freely (up
and down) and does not jam.
♦
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
oilers are properly maintained.
