Operating
Starting a cut
♦
Stand in a stable position with your feet well away
from the inserted tool.
♦
Press the machine against the working surface
before you start.
♦
Start collaring at such a distance from the edge
that the machine is capable of breaking the
material without levering.
♦
Never try to break off too large pieces. Adjust the
breaking distance (A) so that the inserted tool does
not get stuck.
A
Breaking
♦
Let the machine do the work; do not press too
hard. The vibration-reducing handle must
absolutely not be pressed all the way down to the
base.
♦
For pneumatic breakers with vibration-reducing
handles: The feed force should be adapted so that
the handles are 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.
