occur. When working on certain materials and when
using certain materials in machine parts, sparks and
ignition can occur. Explosions will lead to severe
injuries or death.
► Never operate the machine in any explosive
environment.
► Never use the machine near flammable materials,
fumes or dust.
► Make sure that there are no undetected sources
of gas or explosives.
WARNING Operating pressure
If the maximum operating pressure for the hydraulic
machine is exceeded, the accumulator can be over
charged which can result in material damage and
personal injury.
► Always run the hydraulic machine with the correct
operating pressure. See "Technical data".
WARNING Dust and fume hazard
Dusts and/or fumes generated or dispersed when
using the machine may cause serious and permanent
respiratory disease, illness, or other bodily injury (for
example, silicosis or other irreversible lung disease
that can be fatal, cancer, birth defects, and/or skin
inflammation).
Some dusts and fumes created by drilling, breaking,
hammering, sawing, grinding and other construction
activities contain substances known to the State of
California and other authorities to cause respiratory
disease, cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of such substances are:
> Crystalline silica, cement, and other masonry
products.
> Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
rubber.
> Lead from lead-based paints.
Dust and fumes in the air can be invisible to the
naked eye, so do not rely on eye sight to determine
if there is dust or fumes in the air.
To reduce the risk of exposure to dust and fumes,
do all of the following:
► Perform site-specific risk assessment. The risk
assessment should include dust and fumes created
by the use of the machine and the potential for
disturbing existing dust.
► Use proper engineering controls to minimize the
amount of dust and fumes in the air and to
minimize build-up on equipment, surfaces,
clothing, and body parts. Examples of controls
include: exhaust ventilation and dust collection
systems, water sprays, and wet drilling. Control
dusts and fumes at the source where possible.
Make sure that controls are properly installed,
maintained and correctly used.
► Wear, maintain and correctly use respiratory
protection as instructed by your employer and as
required by occupational health and safety
regulations. The respiratory protection must be
effective for the type of substance at issue (and if
applicable, approved by relevant governmental
authority).
► Work in a well ventilated area.
► If the machine has an exhaust, direct the exhaust
so as to reduce disturbance of dust in a dust filled
environment.
► Operate and maintain the machine as
recommended in the operating and safety
instructions
9800 1050 90 | Original instructions8
Safety and operating instructionsRX 2, 3, 4, 6, 8
► Select, maintain and replace consumables/
inserted tools/ other accessory as recommended
in the operating and safety instructions. Incorrect
selection or lack of maintenance of consumables/
inserted tools/ other accessories may cause an
unnecessary increase in dust or fumes.
► Wear washable or disposable protective clothes
at the worksite, and shower and change into clean
clothes before leaving the worksite to reduce
exposure of dust and fumes to yourself, other
persons, cars, homes, and other areas.
► Avoid eating, drinking, and using tobacco
products in areas where there is dust or fumes.
► Wash your hands and face thoroughly as soon as
possible upon leaving the exposure area, and
always before eating, drinking, using tobacco
products, or making contact with other persons.
► Comply with all applicable laws and regulations,
including occupational health and safety
regulations.
► Participate in air monitoring, medical examination
programs, and health and safety training
programs provided by your employer or trade
organizations and in accordance with
occupational health and safety regulations and
recommendations. Consult with physicians
experienced with relevant occupational medicine.
► Work with your employer and trade organization
to reduce dust and fume exposure at the worksite
and to reduce the risks. Effective health and safety
programs, policies and procedures for protecting
workers and others against harmful exposure to
dust and fumes should be established and
implemented based on advice from health and
safety experts. Consult with experts.
WARNING Electric shock
The hydraulic breaker is not insulated against electric

sources, there is a risk of severe injury or death.
► Never work in the proximity of electric circuits or
other electrical power sources.
WARNING Projectiles
Failure of the work piece, of accessories, or even of
the hydraulic breaker itself may generate high
velocity projectiles. During breaking, splinters, or
other particles may become projectiles and cause
bodily injury by striking the operator or other
persons. Also, breakage of the work piece,
accessories, or the insertion tool may generate high
velocity projectiles that can cause bodily injury. In
addition, objects falling from a height can cause
bodily injury. To reduce risks:
► Close off the working area.
► Before starting, make sure that no persons are in
the danger area, 20 meters both horisontally and
vertically from the hydraulic breaker.

Installation
Before installing the hydraulic breaker on the carrier
or operating it, read the operation manual and safety
instructions provided by the carrier manufacturer.
Follow all instructions.
The carrier must have the appropriate hydraulic
system for operation of the breaker.
If the carrier is too large for the hydraulic breaker it
may lead to broken insertion tools and increased
wear. See "Technical data" for choosing suitable
carrier.
The safety equipment in the hydraulic system must
be checked for quality (CE mark, etc.), suitability and
functionability by a professional or authorised
supervisor before use.
Read through the overhaul instructions carefully
before servicing or charging.

Hoses and connections
WARNING Whipping hydraulic hose
Hydraulic hoses under pressure can whip
uncontrollably if screws loosen or are loosened. A
whipping hydraulic hose can cause severe injuries.
► Depressurize the hydraulic system before
loosening the connection of a hydraulic hose.
► Tighten the nuts on the connections of the
hydraulic hoses to the required torque.
Type of nipple: Chicago Pneumatic JIC standard
nipple. The nipple dimensions can be found in the
Spare parts list.
The quality of the hydraulic hoses should be 2SC
(according to EN 857) or better when connecting
the breaker to the carrier. If quick couplings are to
be used, we recommend using the "Flat Face" quick
coupling. This type is sturdy and easy to clean. The
quick couplings pressure class must agree with the
carrier's working pressure.
Always clean the quick couplings before mounting
or dismounting. Always plug hoses and hose nipples
with tight and clean plugs when dismounting.

Hydraulic oil
Normally the type of hydraulic oil the carrier is using
also works for the hydraulic breaker. When a
hydraulic breaker is connected to the carrier, the
hydraulic oil will get contaminated faster. Check and
follow the carrier's instructions for changing oil and
oil filter.
It is common to change the oil filter more frequently
when a hydraulic breaker is installed.
NOTICE When the machine is delivered it contains
some mineral based hydraulic oil. Before connecting
to the carrier's hydraulic system, check which type
of hydraulic oil the carrier is using. Mixing different
types of hydraulic oil may destroy the lubrication
quality which can lead to machine damage.
In order to protect the environment we recommend
the use of biologically degradable hydraulic oil.

Operation
NOTICE The hydraulic breaker or the inserted tool
is not to be used as a lifting device. When lifting
heavy components use the hook on the carrier arm.
Preparation before breaking
Operating temperatures
The operating temperatures of the hydraulic breaker
are between – 20 ºC and + 80 ºC.
CAUTION Temperature hazard
The hydraulic breaker and the hydraulic oil system
of the carrier can be damaged if the hydraulic breaker
is used at higher or lower temperatures.
► Only start the hydraulic breaker when the
hydraulic oil has reached the proper operating
temperature.
► If the ambient temperature is below – 20 ºC, you
should warm up the insertion tool and the
hydraulic breaker before use.
Breaking
CAUTION Machine and tool hazard
Continuous operation at full extension and/or
retraction can result in damage to the hydraulic
cylinders.
► Always avoid operating the breaker with the
cylinders fully extended or retracted.
► Reposition the carrier and/or boom to avoid fully
extended or retracted cylinders.
► Pay attention and look at what you are doing.
Never start the hydraulic breaker until both carrier
and the hydraulic breaker are in the correct position.
► If the oil temperature exceeds + 80 ºC, you must
not use the hydraulic breaker as the oil quality
becomes inadequate which severely shortens the
life time of seals and O-rings.
Engine rpm
Too high engine rpm only results in increased fuel
consumption and increased oil temperature. Adapt
the engine rpm to the recommended value to give
the correct operating oil flow.
Operating
Risk area
Before starting the hydraulic breaker, make sure that
no persons are in the risk area, 20 meters both
horizontally and vertically from the hydraulic
breaker.
179800 1050 90 | Original instructions
RX 2, 3, 4, 6, 8Safety and operating instructions
♦
Direct the hydraulic breaker in a position 90°
towards the object.
♦
Never bend with the insertion tool.
♦
Use the correct feed pressure. When the feed
pressure is correct the hydraulic breaker is working
at its best and the vibrations are at a minimum.
Also the wear on the bushing and inserted tool is
kept to a minimum.
♦
Listen to the sound from the hydraulic breaker.
The sound changes if there is any bending
between the inserted tool and bushing.
♦
Never run the breaker with the boom cylinders at
their end positions. It may cause damage to the
carrier.
♦
Start near the edge and work your way in towards
the middle. Never start in the middle of large
objects.
♦
Never run the hydraulic breaker longer then 15
seconds on the same spot. Move the inserted tool
to a new position if the object does not break.

Safety and operating instructionsRX 2, 3, 4, 6, 8
WARNING Explosion hazard
Use of other gases than Nitrogen (N2) can cause an
explosion.
► Charge the accumulator with Nitrogen (N2) only!
CP supplies a service box containing all necessary
tools and parts required to service the piston
accumulator. See the Spare parts list.
If the hammer's performance begins to deteriorate,
we recommend that you check the pressure in the
piston accumulator.
NOTICE The pressure must be checked with the
hammer at a working temperature of 60º-70ºC.
To measure the pressure, bring down the hammer
with no pressure on the chisel. Detach the plug from
the charge valve (G) and connect the test pressure
gauge.
The piston accumulator only needs to be filled if the
pressure falls below the minimum level.
Maintenance
It is essential that regular maintenance is performed
to maintain the breakers maximum efficiency.
Equipment that is insufficiently maintained can be
dangerous for both the operator and persons near
the breaker. Make sure that regular maintenance
routines with lubrication are followed to keep the
equipment safe and efficient.
Lubrication
Lubricate the chisel shank thoroughly every two
hours using high-temperature grease such as
genuine chisel grease from your supplier. This also
lubricates the bushing and the tool holder; 5-10
pumps of the grease gun is sufficient. Stop when
the grease starts to emerge at the chisel holder or
between the chisel and the bushing.
WARNING Running engine
If the carrier's engine is running when lubricating
the chisel by hand there is a risk of severe accidents.
► Always switch off the carrier's engine to avoid
accidents.
Filling
1. Connect pressure relief valve (B) to gas bottle
valve (A).
2. Connect gas hose (C) to pressure relief valve (B)
as shown in figure.
3. Close pressure relief valve (B).
4. Open gas bottle valve (A).
5. Remove the plug from the charge valve (G).
6. Guide the nozzle of the hose (C) into the charge
valve.
7. Carefully open the relief valve (B).
8. Fill the piston accumulator.
9. Read the pressure on the pressure gauge (D).
10. Close the pressure relief valve when the desired
pressure has been reached.
Pull the gas hose out of the charge valve (G) and
fit the plug.
During lubrication, the chisel must be pressed
against the hammer piston so that the space
between piston and the chisel does not fill with
grease.
199800 1050 90 | Original instructions
RX 2, 3, 4, 6, 8Safety and operating instructions
11. Close gas bottle valve (A).
Checking and reducing the gas pressure
1. Always use the gas hose (C) and the pressure
gauge (D) when checking the gas pressure.
CAUTION Skin eczema
Grease can cause eczema when it comes in contact
with the skin.
► Avoid getting grease on your hands. Wash
thoroughly after contact.
1. Press the insertion tool against the piston so that
the space between the piston and the insertion
tool does not fill with grease.
2. Connect the gas hose to the pressure gauge.
3. Remove the plug from the charge valve (G).
4. Press the nozzle of the gas hose into the charge
valve and read the pressure.
5. Reduce the pressure by repeatedly inserting and
removing the nozzle.
NOTICE Only the nozzle may be used to reduce
the pressure. Never use pins, screwdrivers etc. as
these can damage the charge valve.
Every second hour
Regularly lubricate the insertion tool, the tool
retainer and the bushings.
Lubricating with a grease gun
WARNING Hot insertion tool during
operation and a period of time after use.
► Avoid contact with the insertion tool.
WARNING Hot hydralic breaker during
operation and a period of time after use.
► Avoid contact with the hydralic breaker.
2. Lubricate the insertion tool's shank plentifully
while pressing the insertion tool against the
surface to avoid filling the cavity with grease. If
the cavity is filled with grease when the hydraulic
breaker is started, the lower seals may be
damaged.
When the insertion tool shank is exposed to high
pressure and high temperatures a standard type of
grease will melt and run. To avoid this always use a
genuine insertion tool grease from your supplier.
Central lubrication system
We recommend Chicago Pneumatic's central
lubrication system. When this system is fitted on the
carrier, grease is pumped continuosly from a
lubrication container on the carrier to the breaker
when the breaker is activated. This increases the life
of the tool bushings and insertion tools considerably.

Replacing the insertion tool bushing
The insertion tool bushing is kept in place by the
tool retainer. A new bushing has a slip fit.
1. If a worn out bushing is stuck, use a sliding
hammer to remove it.
The wear bushing must be replaced when the
inner diameter (A) has reached its maximum wear
limit, see "Wear limits" and "Replacing the
insertion tool bushing".
♦
Check the insertion tool for wear.
The insertion tool must be replaced when the
outer diameter (B) has reached its minimum wear
limit. See "Wear limits".
Too large clearance can make the insertion tool
break and the piston can be damaged.
♦
Check the hammer and the adapter plate for
cracks and wear.
♦
Check that the accumulator screws are properly
tightened. The correct tightening torque is found
in the spare parts list.
The insertion tool may never be sharpened by
forging. Sharpening should only be performed by
milling, grinding, or turning.
2. Carefully clean the bore and the bushing seat
area.
3. Lubricate and mount the bushing.
4. Use a plastic sledgehammer to insert the
bushing.
5. Keep the bushing in position with help of the
tool retainer.

machine hydraulique est dépassée, l'accumulateur
peut être surchargé, ce qui risque de provoquer des
dommages matériels et corporels.
► Faites toujours fonctionner la machine
hydraulique à la bonne pression de service. Voir
« Caractéristiques techniques ».
AVERTISSEMENT Dangers liés aux
poussières et aux fumées
Les poussières et/ou de fumées générées ou
dispersées lors de l’utilisation de la machine peuvent
causer des maladies respiratoires graves et
permanentes, ou autre lésion corporelle (par
exemple, la silicose ou autre maladie pulmonaire
irréversible qui peut être mortelle, cancer,
malformations congénitales et/ou inflammation de
la peau).
Certaines poussières et fumées créées lors de
foration, casse, martelage, sciage, meulage et autres
activités de construction, contiennent des substances
connues dans l'État de Californie et par d’autres
autorités pour provoquer des maladies respiratoires,
le cancer, des malformations congénitales ou autres
problèmes de reproduction. Quelques exemples de
ces substances sont :
> Silice cristalline, ciment et autres produits de
maçonnerie.
> Arsenic et chrome provenant de caoutchouc traité
chimiquement.
> Plomb provenant de peintures à base de plomb.
Les poussières et fumées dans l’air peuvent être
invisibles à l’œil nu. Par conséquent, ne comptez
pas sur la vue oculaire pour déterminer s'il y a des
poussières ou des fumées dans l’air.
Pour réduire les risques d’exposition aux poussières
et fumées, effectuez tout ce qui suit :
► Effectuez une évaluation des risques spécifiques
au site. L’évaluation des risques devra inclure les
poussières et les vapeurs créées par l’utilisation
de la machine et les poussières susceptibles
d'incommoder le voisinage.
► Utilisez la sécurité intégrée appropriée pour
minimiser la quantité de poussières et de fumées
dans l’air et leur accumulation sur les
équipements, les surfaces, les vêtements et les
parties du corps. Exemples de mesures applicables
: systèmes de ventilation aspirante et de captage
des poussières, pulvérisation d'eau et forage
humide. Contrôlez si possible les poussières et les
fumées à la source. Assurez-vous que les
commandes sont correctement installées,
entretenues et utilisées.
► Portez, entretenez et utilisez de manière correcte
la protection respiratoire comme indiqué par votre
employeur, en respectant les normes de sécurité
et de santé au travail. La protection respiratoire
doit être efficace pour le type de substance en
cause (et le cas échéant, approuvée par l’autorité
gouvernementale pertinente).
