retaining screws and not by the tool itself. This causes an erosion and the subsequent rupture of the tip. The breaking in these cases usually appears at the top 150 DRH of the hammer pin as a result of the idle strokes when the tip of the tool is separated
CORROSION Rust or corrosion on the tool occurs when the tool is stored outdoors and it is not well lubricated. This can be avoided 150 DRH by simple and easy lubrication and maintenance of hammer’s tool away from moisture when not in use.
DO NOT EXECUTE IDLE STROKES. Most frequently, during the demolition works, the strokes in soft or light materials are called idle strokes. This happens when the piston does not stroke the hammer tool, and the impact force and energy is absorbed 150 DRH by bolts and the tool retaining screws and not by the tool itself.
