Operation
Using the pick hammer for the first time
When the pick hammer arrives from the factory, the inside of the tool is coated with
heavy oil to prevent corrosion.
After unpacking and installing the machine, pour a small amount of thin lubrication
oil into the air connection and operate the machine on partial throttle to clean the
interior. Follow this immediately with a liberal amount of air tool oil.
The pick hammer is lubricated with oil mixed with compressed air, which is taken to
the parts that need continuous lubrication.
Preparations before starting
1. Check the equipment
h Check that all of the equipment is in good working order.
h Check that the impact surface of the insertion tool shank is flat with no signs of
wear.
h Make sure that the air inlet and exhaust ports are free from obstructions.
h Ensure that the fittings are tight and leak-proof.
WARNING
A compressed air hose that comes loose can lash around and cause personal
injury or death. Check that the compressed air connections are not damaged
and that they are properly attached.
2. Blow out the air hose
Every day before using the pick hammer, blow out the air hose to clear it from
accumulated dirt and moisture.
3. Lubricate
h Pour 5 ml of air oil into the air hose once every 2–3 impact hours.
h Always use a recommended lubricant.
Lubricant recommendation
Use a mineral-based air tool oil
