Product introduction2155E STD
3. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
3.1 OVERVIEW
The product is a hydraulically operated hammer. It can be used on any carrier which
meets the necessary hydraulic and mechanical installation requirements. The unit
functions by repeatedly raising a steel piston and driving it down onto the head of a
removable breaking tool.
No additional pressure accumulators are necessary since the integrated pressure
accumulator absorbs hydraulic pressure peaks. The impact energy of the hammer is
almost constant and independent of the carrier's hydraulic system.
3.2 REMOVAL FROM PACKAGE
Remove all the steel belts from the package. Open the package and remove all
plastics covering the product.
Recycle all package materials (steel, plastic, wood) properly.
3.3 LIFTING INSTRUCTIONS
Use a hoist when lifting components which weigh 23 kg (51 lb) or more, to avoid
back injury. Make sure all lifting equipment is in good condition and are in the
correct capacity. Be sure hooks are positioned correctly. Lifting eyes are not to be
side loaded during a lifting operation. Do not use the hammer's tools for lifting.

COPYRIGHT © 2019 SANDVIK MINING AND CONSTRUCTION OYPage 10 - Operation
Product introduction 2155E STD
PROVIDED LIFTING POINTS
Use the lifting eyes located on the product housing only to lift or handle the product
itself. The lifting capacity calculation is based on the product's working weight
including a normal working tool and an average sized mounting bracket.
Warning! To avoid falling objects, do not use the product to lift other products.
Use the lifting eyes located on the product housing only to lift or handle the
product itself.
The maximum allowed total weight is shown on the product's CE-plate and
specification page. See “Hammer specifications” on page 70. If the weight exceeds
the maximum allowed total weight shown on the CE-plate and specification page,
you have to use other lifting points/methods than originally provided on the product.
The other threaded holes on the product (for example on the hammer impact unit)
are intended for handling single parts only. It is forbidden to lift the entire assembly
by using these threaded holes (for example on the cylinder outer surfaces). For
handling the parts, see product workshop documentation for suitable lifting
methods and lifting adapters.
LIFTING EYE SCREWS
Tighten the lifting eye screws completely. Put a burden on the lifting eye only if the
screw is properly tightened to the housing.
Failure to properly tighten the screw before allowing load pressure on the
lifting eye may cause lifting eye to break and free fall of the product.
If you use mechanical tools for tightening, make sure not to overstrain the shank.
Before lifting make sure that the chain and/or hook is stretched.
When two lifting eye screws are used, the lifting capacity depends on the angle of
the lifting chains. The angle should not be less than 45°, as shown in the illustration.
When the lifting eye screws are tightened, both rings should be aligned.
The loading capacity calculation applies to temperatures between -10 °C (14 °F)
and 40 °C (104 °F).
Before reuse of lifting eye screws make sure there are no surface flaws (for example
rust, pits, voids, folds and seams, deformation of the ring, or missing or broken
threads).
The local, national safety standards for machines and lifting-equipments must
always be strictly observed.
Note: Before starting to operate the hammer, always replace the lifting eye with a
blanking screw.

Operation - Page 11COPYRIGHT © 2019 SANDVIK MINING AND CONSTRUCTION OY
Product introduction2155E STD
Lifting devices must safely carry the working weight of the product. See “Hammer
specifications” on page 70. Place chains or slings, as shown by the illustration, to

WORK SITE
Work sites can be hazardous. Inspect the site before working on it.
Poor visibility can cause accidents and damage. Make sure that visibility and
lighting of the working area are adequate.
BANKS AND TRENCHES
Banked material and trenches can collapse. Do not work too close to banks and
trenches where there is a danger of collapse.
SAFETY BARRIERS
Unguarded equipment in public places can be dangerous. Place barriers around the
machine to keep people away.
AIRBORNE POLLUTANTS
The related safety label on the hammer and the text on the label are shown below.
"DUST HAZARD
Breathing dust will cause death or severe injury.
Always wear approved respirator."
Airborne pollutants are microscopic particles, which will damage your health, when
inhaled. Airborne pollutants on construction sites can be, for example, silica dust,
oil fumes or diesel exhaust particles, visible or invisible. Especially in demolition
sites, there may be other dangerous substances, such as asbestos or lead paints or
other chemical substances.
The effect of airborne pollutants may be immediate if the substance is poisonous.
The main danger with airborne pollutants comes from long term exposure, where
particles are inhaled but not removed from the lungs. The disease is called silicosis,
asbestosis or other, and will result in death or serious injury.
R010356
DUST HAZARD
Breathing dust will cause death
or severe injury.
Always wear approved
respirator.
DANGER
169400_ENG-1

COPYRIGHT © 2019 SANDVIK MINING AND CONSTRUCTION OYPage 20 - Operation
Safety 2155E STD
To protect yourself from airborne pollutants, always keep excavator doors and
windows closed during operation. Excavators with pressurized cabins should be
utilized in hammer operation. Proper maintenance of fresh air filters of the
excavator is essential. Where pressurized cabins are not available, proper respirators
must be utilized.
Stop working, when bystanders are in the area of airborne pollutants and make sure
they have proper respirators. Respirators are as important for bystanders as hard
hats.
Respirators for both operator and bystanders must be approved by the respirator
manufacturer for the application in question. It is essential that the respirators
protect from the tiny dust particles which cause silicosis and which may cause other
serious lung diseases. You should not use the equipment until you are sure the
respirators are working properly. This means the respirators must be checked to
make sure that it is clean, that its filter has been changed, and to otherwise make sure
the respirator will protect in the way it is meant to.
Always make sure dust has been cleaned off your boots and clothes when you leave
your shift. The smallest particles of dust are the most harmful. They may be so fine
that you can not see them. Remember, you MUST protect yourself and bystanders
from the danger of breathing or inhaling dust.
Always follow local laws and regulations for airborne pollutants in the working
environment.
