mentioned below, will result in a longer time to
complete a task, and may result in higher levels of
vibration exposure. A worn tool will also cause
increased working time.
►
Make sure that the inserted tool is well-maintained,
not worn out and of the proper size.
►
Always use a sharp tool in order to work efficiently.
Checking for wear on the tool shank

B
Use the gauge that corresponds to the insertion tool’s
shank dimension. See section "Technical data" for
correct tool shank dimensions.
●
Check if the gauge’s hole (A) can be pushed down
on the insertion tool’s shank, this means that the
shank is worn out and the insertion tool should be
replaced.
●
Check the length (B), that it is according to the
ordered machine type.
