For optimum life and performance of both the tool and tool bushing the hammer must be greased at regular intervals. To grease correctly it is VERY IMPORTANT that the tool bit is fully pushed into the hammer. When starting with a new tool bit clean out any dirt and debris from the chuck housing. Insert the new tool fully. Pump grease into the hammer (count the number of pumps) until grease begins to appear to come out between the tool bit and the lower bushing.
Pump grease into the hammer (count the number of pumps) until grease begins to appear to come out between the tool bit and the lower bushing.
Note the time and continue running the hammer until the shank appears to look dry. Once again note the time. This will give you the approx time interval that you need to grease your hammer on the particular job application the hammer is being used on. Depending on your job the typical grease period could run between 1 to 4 hours. The more the hammer is used the shorter the interval between grease applications. When greasing the hammer for the second time count the number of grease pumps required to make grease appear between lower bashing and tool again. Just as an example you may determine that your hammer requires 6 pumps of grease every two hours. Greasing correctly is very important and this will greatly increase the life of your tool and indeed prevent serious damage to your hammer.
Further to the above please refer to the diagram below to better determine if you are greasing your hammer correctly.
