off position and expel as much of the oil as possible. Clean the spark plug to remove oil from the
electrodes and replace. The plug may have to be removed and cleaned several times before the engine
will start. Upon starting, the engine may produce smoke for a while from the exhaust, but this should
soon clear.
Finally stop the engine and recheck the engine oil level. (Ensure that the engine is level prior to carrying
out this check). If the engine oil level is low, refill with the recommended motor oil - see engine
manufacturers operating instructions.
1.3 Risk of Hand-arm Vibration injury
These tools may cause Hand-arm Vibration Syndrome injury if their use is not adequately managed.
We advise you to carry out a risk assessment and to implement measures such as; limiting exposure time
[i.e. actual trigger time, not total time at work], job rotation, ensuring the tools are used correctly,
ensuring the tools are maintained according to our recommendations, and ensuring that the operators
wear personal protective equipment [PPE] particularly gloves and clothing to keep them warm and dry.
Employers should consider setting up a programme of health surveillance to establish a benchmark for
each operator and to detect early symptoms of vibration injury.
We are not aware of any PPE that provides protection against vibration injury by attenuating vibration
emissions.
See ‘Specifications’ section for vibration emission data.
Further advice is available from our Technical Department.
We strongly advise you to visit the Health & Safety Executive website http://www.hse.gov.uk/vibration
This site provides excellent advice and information on HAV and currently, includes a Hand-arm
Vibration Exposure Calculator that is easy to use to work out the daily vibration exposure for each of
your operators.
1.4 Cutter types & Applications
T.C.T
Hardened steel cutter with tungsten carbide inserts. For all general cleaning applications, including
concrete texturing, Scabbling, the grooving of concrete, removal of embedded roof chippings, brittle
coatings from steel work. Use TCT Cutters on heavy applications, for longer life and higher output.
Produces “tramlines” on concrete and small indentations on steelwork.
STAR
Heat-treated steel cutters used for the aggressive removal of Paint and coatings from floor areas, but
with a shorter life span than Beam Cutters. Can be used for the general removal of dirt and ice deposits
and to produce a texture on concrete surfaces.
Produces roughened surface on concrete and light
marking on steelwork.
BEAM
Heat-treated steel cutters used for the removal of paint and coatings from floor areas, but with a shorter
life span that TCT Cutters, not as aggressive as Star Cutters. Can be used for the general removal of dirt
and ice deposits.
Produces a fine texture on concrete surfaces and slight marking on steelwork.
