Safety precautions
This product is a petrol-driven demolition hammer, designed for compaction work and is therefore not
suited for the removal of larger rocks. Carefully read the information and safety instructions found within
this instruction manual and obey them to ensure an ideal mode of operation while minimising the risk of
accidents. However, the instructions found in this manual do not replace rules and regulations applying
at your workplace, but complete them. Keep this manual in a safe place and in reach when working with
this product.
•
This product must not be used by persons with limited physical, sensory, or mental capabilities
or lack of experience and/or knowledge, unless they are instructed and supervised by a person
responsible for them and familiar with the product. Children must always be kept away from the
device and must not operate it under any circumstances.
•
When using the demolition hammer, always wear non-slip safety shoes, protective goggles,
hearing protection, and appropriate work clothing. Furthermore, a dust mask and a hard hat
should be worn if the demolition hammer is to be used for a longer period.
•
When working with the demolition hammer, always ensure that you have a firm, secure footing
and only use the machine with both hands.
•
Do not smoke while operating the machine and do not use the machine when you are tired or
under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medicine.
•
Start at a slow speed and increase the speed steadily.
•
Keep bystanders away from your work area as the use of the demolition hammer can cause
splintered pieces, gravel, or rubble to be thrown up.
•
A medium speed setting between 3 and 4 is recommended and produces the best work results.
•
Do not exert any pressure on the machine during use and instead try to use the own weight of
the machine. For a high effect, a simple operation and to achieve optimal results, it does not
require too much effort.
•
Keep the handles clean, dry, and free from oil or petrol residues.
•
Always switch off the engine when finishing or interrupting the work process.
•
Check all fastening screws before each use. If they are loose, tighten the screws before use.
•
The use of pure petrol (without 2-stroke engine oil) as fuel is prohibited. It is imperative that you
obey the mixing ratio of fuel and lubricant prescribed in these operating instructions.
•
Petrol is extremely flammable, so only fill up in a sufficiently ventilated area and away from
sources of ignition. To do this, switch off the engine before filling up with fuel and let the device
cool down for a few minutes. When adding fuel, be careful not to add too much fuel. Do not
leave the fuel tank near the machine. If the fuel overflows, wait until it has evaporated, then you
can start the machine again.
•
Make sure to close the tank cap firmly and properly after filling it with fuel. Also check the tank
and the lid regularly for damage or signs of wear and tear and repair any defects before using
the device again.
•
Store fuel reserves only in areas where there are no substances that could start or generate
fires, explosions, or flying sparks.
•
If you use the demolition hammer in closed work areas, e.g., in tunnels and trenches, make sure
that there is enough fresh air, or use a fan or hood, as the exhaust gases contain dangerous
carbon monoxide.
•
Avoid too quick acceleration or sudden braking, as this can damage the machine.
•
Avoid hitting the machine with chipped pieces when working at high speed or when removing
material.
•
If you want to transport the device over a longer distance, make sure that the tank has been
emptied beforehand.
•
To avoid damaging the individual parts, do not dismantle the demolition hammer, as this can
impair the lifespan of the demolition hammer and lead to an increased risk of accidents.
