Safety and operating instructions
Breaking
Let the machine do the work; do not press too
♦
hard.
♦
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 hazard
substances. See "Dust and fume hazards"
♦
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 to the machine, contact your
nearest authorised workshop.
♦
After each service, check that the machine's
vibration level is normal. If not, contact your
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.
Periodic maintenance
After each operating period of approximately 150
impact hours or twice a year the machine must be
dismantled and all parts be cleaned and checked.
This work must be performed by authorised staff,
trained for this task.
