Intended Use
Overview - 3
Intended Use
HammerHead® pipe bursters are intended for the replacement of 4” (10.2 cm) to 16” (40.6 cm) diameter
buried pipes and conduits. The 100XTR produces 100 tons (91 t) of pullback force. A power unit provides
hydraulic power to run the pipe bursting unit.
The unit is designed for operation in temperatures typically experienced in earth moving and construction
work environments. Provisions may be required to operate in extreme temperatures. Contact your
HammerHead dealer. Use in any other way is considered contrary to the intended use.
HammerHead pipe bursters and power units should be operated, serviced, and repaired only by persons
familiar with their particular characteristics and acquainted with the relevant safety procedures.

participate in the One-Call service. In countries that do not have a One-Call service, contact all local
utility companies to have underground utilities located.
• Classify jobsite based on its hazards and use correct tools and machinery, safety equipment, and work
methods for jobsite.
• Mark jobsite clearly and keep spectators away.
• Wear personal protective equipment including long pants, hard hat, eye protection, hearing protection,
and protective footwear.
• Do not wear jewelry or loose clothing.
• Review jobsite hazards, safety and emergency procedures, and individual responsibilities with all
personnel before work begins. Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are available at
www.hammerheadshop.com/resources/technical-sheets/.
• Fully inspect equipment before operating. Repair or replace any worn or damaged parts. Replace
missing or damaged safety shields, safety signs, and decals. Contact your HammerHead dealer for
assistance.
• Use equipment carefully. Stop operation and investigate anything that does not look or feel right.
• Do not operate unit where flammable gas, liquid, or dust may be present.

• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing or cleaning.
• For a grounded appliance, connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See grounding instructions.
• Do not expose machine to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
• Store machine out of the reach of children.
• Do not allow persons unfamiliar with machine to operate.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of machine to allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning machine on.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators.
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
• Do not use machine if remote shutdown switch does not turn it on and off.

is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Electric shock. Improper connection of equipment-
grounding conductor will cause death or serious injury. Contact qualified
electrician to ensure outlet is properly grounded.
To help avoid injury:
• Never modify plug provided with product. If plug will not fit outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
• Never use an adapter.
• Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
