Chicago Pneumatic CP 4131, Safety And Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 13 / 296

Overview
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death to
yourself or others, read the Safety instructions
section found on the previous pages of this manual
before operating the machine.
Design and function
These instructions apply to the CP 0016, CP 4130,
CP 4131, CP4132 and CP4134 models.
These machines are pneumatic tools designed for
medium duty to heavy duty chipping, cutting and
trimming as well as light concrete demolition and
soft tunnelling. Each machine model can be used
both horizontally and vertically. No other use is
permitted.
To choose the correct working tool, see the spare
parts list.
Choosing the correct
pneumatic hammer for a task
It is important to choose the correct size of
pneumatic hammer for the work to be performed.
A pneumatic hammer that is too small means that
the work will take longer.
A hammer that is too big means that there must be
frequent repositioning, which is unnecessarily tiring
for the operator.
A simple rule for choosing the correct size of
pneumatic hammer is that a normal sized piece of
broken material should be removed from the
workpiece within 5–10 seconds operation.
•
If it takes less than 5 seconds a smaller
pneumatic hammer should be selected.
•
If it takes more than 10 seconds a larger
pneumatic hammer should be selected.
