5. To start, break an opening (hole) in the center of the
surface. After making a hole, break portions of the
material into the original opening. For best produc-
tivity, the breaking should be done around the origi-
nal hole.
The size of the broken material will vary with the
strength and thickness of the base material and the
amount of any reinforcement wire or rebar.
Harder material or more reinforcing wire or rebar will
require taking smaller bites. To determine the most
effective bite, start with 2 in./50 mm or smaller bites.
Bites can then be gradually increased until the bro-
ken piece becomes too large, requiring increased
time to break off the piece.
Sticking of the tool bit occurs when too large a bite is
being taken and the tool bit hammers into the mate-
rial without the material fracturing. This causes the
tool bit to become trapped in the surrounding mate-
rial.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
If the breaker is to be used during cold weather, preheat

2. Make certain the hydraulic power source is equipped
with a relief valve set to open at 2250 psi/155 bar
maximum.
INSTALL TOOL BIT
1. Rotate the latch on the breaker foot downward
(pointing away from the tool).
2. Insert the tool bit into the foot and pull the latch up to
lock the tool bit in place.
CONNECT HOSES
