Preparation
Adjusting the side handle
Note: The included side handle features a vibration-reducing, dampening,
ridged rubber grip. Always make use of this handle when operating this
machine.
• When in use, always hold the tool firmly by the Main Handle (1) and Side
Handle (5)
• The side handle can be rotated to best suit the work to be performed:
1. Loosen the plastic knob of the handle clamping mechanism
2. Rotate the side handle in the position most suitable for the task at
hand
3. Tighten the plastic knob firmly to lock the side handle in place
Note: For storage in the included metal case, the side handle needs to be
folded in line with the main handle.
Installing hex fitting steels
WARNING: Only use this tool with good quality 30mm or 1-1/8” diameter
steel bits with hex fitting. Do not force other types of steels to fit. Misuse of
this tool could cause permanent damage, and may invalidate your warranty.
1. Ensure the flat portion on the shank of the steel bit is facing towards
the Tool Retainer (6), and that the tool retainer is in the unlocked
position
2. Insert the steel into the Tool Holder (7), ensuring the groove in the steel
aligns with the tool retainer
3. Pull out the spring-loaded tool retainer and rotate 180° into the locked
position to secure the bit (Fig. A)
4. Test that the steel has been correctly installed by trying to pull it out of
the tool holder
Operating Instructions
WARNING: Always wear adequate personal protection equipment when
setting up and operating this machine.
IMPORTANT: Check the oil level and the power cord before each use (see
‘Maintenance’).
WARNING: Heavy breaking equipment produces larger amounts of
vibrations. It is advisable to wear thick vibration-reducing gloves when
operating this tool.
Switching on and off
• Grip the breaker firmly by both the Main Handle (1) and the Side Handle
(5)
• To start the breaker, squeeze the On/Off Trigger Switch (2)
• Once the on/off trigger switch is depressed, the Lock-on Switch (3) can
be engaged
• To stop the breaker, release the on/off trigger switch
Note: If the lock-on switch was engaged, depress the on/off trigger switch
again and release, to disengage the lock-on mechanism and switch off
the machine.
Notes:
• Applying excess pressure does not result in faster or more efficient
breaking
• Best breaking results can be obtained by only applying slight pressure to
the tool, enough to keep the automatic clutch engaged and the hammer
action working
• If the pressure applied to the breaker has a noticeable effect on the
speed, reduce the pressure
• Overloading the breaker will reduce its service life
