 KNOW YOUR
HAMMERS &
BREAKERS
APPLICATIONS

1. SOFT MATERIAL
Brick, soft rock and other soft materials

9 require lighter hammers and breakers that

deliver a high number of blows per minute and
less impact force.

2. MEDIUM MATERIAL
The harder the material, the more weight and
impact force is needed. Medium materials
include medium hard rocks, non-reinforced
concrete and asphalt.

3. HARD MATERIAL
To break hard rocks, including high silica
content boulders, and reinforced concrete you

1 need high impact force and fewer blows per

minute.

4. DEMOLITION
Demolition is the process of tearing down a
structure. Materials range from soft to hard.
You need tough, reliable hammers and break-
ers with the right type of tools.

5. RENOVATION
Renovation is the process of improving a
structure. Typical tasks include chipping and
scaling concrete. Renovation work in general,
and especially inside buildings, means you
need effective sound and vibration protection.

6. ROCK SPLITTING
Rock splitting with hammers and breakers
7 5 is time and cost saving compared to using
explosives. Explosives requires secure storing
and causes interruptions when blasting and
clearing.

7. CHIPPING
Chipping means you remove cracked and weak
concrete before improving for example a road
structure with new concrete.

8. UNDERWATER WORK
Pneumatics work in most conditions. You can
2 use pneumatic hammers and breakers for
chipping and scaling operations under water.

9. OVERHEAD WORK
For overhead renovation work you need a light
and efficient hammer with high impact rate.

This is how your breaker takes care of dangerous
vibrations. It is also the story of our hand and arm
protection system – HAPS.

LET THE MACHINE WORK
THIS IS HOW TO BEST USE YOUR HAPS-ENABLED MACHINE
Vibration-dampened HAPS-machines have prestressed spring handles.
If you push down too hard on them, you hit a stop and lose the effect of the
springs. Press the handle half-way down, and the right amount of feed force
is applied automatically. Allow the machine to “float” between the handles.

Precision starts here

The Softstart trigger helps you slowly
release the energy of the breaker.
The two-step trigger gives you full
control when starting a difficult cut.

Easy lubrication for long life

The integrated lubricator keeps moving
parts in shape for a whole shift. In cold
conditions lubrication also works as an
anti-freeze.
