Safety and operating instructions
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 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 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.
Check that the backhead bolts are tightened
♦
according to section "Tightening torques" and
the assembled length of the fronthead springs or
buffers is in accordance with the measurements
given in the same section.
♦
For the machine to maintain the specified
vibration values, always check the following:

♦
Too big 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. Use the guage that corresponds to the
insertion tool´s shank dimension.
B
If it is possible to push the guage (point A) fully
into the chisel bushing (to point B), then the
bushing or fronthead should immediately be
replaced. See also "Checking for wear on the tool
shank" for checking the insertion tool´s shank.
♦
If the machine is equipped with vibration-reducing
handles their function should be checked.
♦
Check that the handles are moving freely
(up-down) and never jam.
♦
Check that the springs are not damaged, see
"Vibration reducing handles main parts".
♦
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.
