Electric power supply for electrical appliances of class rating II
Note: The rated voltage is indicated on the nameplate of your machine.
The machine may only be connected to an electric power supply with all machine
parts in proper working condition. Take special notice of the following machine
parts:
Plug.
Power cable over the entire length.
The machine may only be connected to an electric power supply whereby the
connector of the grounded conductor (PE) is intact.
Electrical appliances of class rating II have a strengthened or double insulation
(protective insulation). They have no connection to the grounded conductor.
Note: Observe the respective national safety regulations!
Extension cable
The machine may only be operated with undamaged extension cables!
Only use extension cables with grounded conductor and correct connection of
the grounded conductor to the plug and coupling (only for machines of class
rating I).
Only use extension cables which are suitable for use at construction sites: Aver-
age rubber hose H05RN-F or better – Wacker Neuson recommends H07RN-F
or a country-specific equivalent design.
Immediately replace damaged extension cables (e.g. tears in the sheathing) or
loose plugs and couplings.
Protecting the power cable
Do not use the power cable to pull or lift the machine.
Do not unplug the power cable by pulling on the cable.
Protect the power cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
If the power cable is damaged or the plug is loose, have it replaced immediately
by your Wacker Neuson representative.
Protecting from moisture
Protect the machine against rain, snow or any other forms of moisture. This could
cause damage or malfunctions.

5 Description
5.1 Application
A wide selection of easily interchangeable tools is available for drilling holes from
12 to 125 mm suitable for breaking, chiseling, digging, puddling, hammering,
ramming and deburring. The machine is suited for processing natural as well as
synthetic stone and asphalt and any type of masonry and concrete.
5.2 Functionality
Principle
The machine is a demolition hammer with a pneumatic percussion system as
well as an additional drilling function.
It is driven by a maintenance-free three-phase AC motor.
A frequency converter converts the generated DC voltage to required three-
phase AC current.
"Chiseling" operating mode
The rotary movement of the three-phase AC motor is converted into a stroke
movement via a transmission and a crank gear while in "Chiseling" operating
mode.
The piston is moved forwards and backwards by the crank gear, this compresses
the air (forward movement) or generates a partial vacuum (backward move-
ment). Due to change in pressure the percussion piston is moved forward and
backwards (air cushion percussion system) and hits the tool.
While in "Chiseling" operating mode, the drill drive is uncoupled via the safety
clutch and the tool holder bushing is fixed in place to prevent turning in the tool
holder.
"Hammer drilling" operating mode
While in "Hammer drilling" operating mode, the rotational movement of the motor
is transferred to the drive shaft of the drill drive via a clutch. The drive shaft uses
gear wheels to turn the tool holder bushing in the tool holder.
