n Pay attention to the following during operation
1. Stop operation when hoses are vibrating abnormally.
Check the hoses on the high-pressure and low-pressure sides of the breaker for abnormal vibration. If
they are vibrating abnormally, ask your Furukawa dealer for inspection.
2. Stop operation right after breaking. (Avoid idle blows as much as possible.)
After breaking rock, stop striking immediately. Continuous idle blows will exercise adverse effecrts on
the machine as well. When appropriate thrust is not applied to the breaker or the rod is twisted during
striking, idle blows will result. (Idle blows will produce metallic sound unlike ordinary blows.)
