Safety instructions
Working with a hammer
Bear in mind the following for hammer operation:
☞ Keep the hammer perpendicular to the surface (max. deviation to all sides
is 2°).
☞ After you have driven the hammer into the material, do not try to fragment
the material with movements to the sides.
☞ Never move the hammer as you drive it into the material.
☞ Do not operate the hammer in the same spot uninterruptedly for more than
15 seconds.
☞ If the applied impact force does not break the material, move the hammer
to the edge or start again in another place in order to break the material.
☞ Do not put the hammer into operation if a ram is fully extended or retracted.
☞ Never use the hammer horizontally or upward.
☞ Do not use the hammer for catching or collecting material.
☞ Press the hammer firmly against the material to avoid hammer operation
without any resistance.
☞ Do not use the hammer to raise loads.
☞ Do not hit the hammer against rocks, concrete, etc..
☞ Do not raise the machine with the boom.
☞ Do not perform any movements with the machine during hammer operation.
☞ Working with the rams and/or the boom fully extended is not allowed.
☞ Do not swivel the Powertilt unit beyond 30° during hammer operation, oth-
erwise the load on the boom increases enormously.
