Electric Breaker 16kg 263570
Caution
• Applying excess pressure does not result in faster or more efficient
breaking
• If the pressure applied to the breaker has a noticeable effect on the
speed, reduce the pressure
• Overloading the breaker will reduce its service life
Maintenance
WARNING: Always disconnect the machine from the power supply before
carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.
Cleaning
• Keep your machine clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal
parts to wear quickly, shortening the machine’s service life
• Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush or dry cloth. If available,
use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
General inspection
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate
loose over time
IMPORTANT: Due to the aggressive nature of this tool, the power cable
may become damaged or worn through contact with sharp masonry. Check
the cable before each use and replace if worn or damaged. Do not use
the tool if the cable is damaged in any way. Have the cable replaced by an
authorised Silverline service centre.
Lubrication
WARNING: Always ensure that there is sufficient oil in the breaker prior
to use.
1. Stand the tool up vertically and wait a few seconds for the oil to collect
2. Check the oil level in the Oil Level Indicator (4)
Note: If the oil level is low, i.e. the level is below half of the indicator, the
machine needs to be topped up:
1. Put the machine on its side with the Oil Level Indicator (4) pointing
upwards
2. Using the supplied hex key, unscrew and remove the four bolts of the
metal cover which holds the level indicator window
WARNING: Be careful not to lose or damage the seals.
3. Fill the reservoir with the recommended oil (see “Specifications”)
WARNING: DO NOT overfill. Only top up until the level reaches about ¾ of
the indicator window.
4. Replace the metal cover you removed previously and tighten the four
screws securely
5. Stand the machine up vertically, check for oil leaks around the metal
plate, and check the oil level after refilling. Correct the fill level if
necessary.
• Your electric breaker is pre-filled with high quality machine oil at the
factory. This lubricant can be used to operate the machine for the
equivalent of 3 hours continuous running each day for 20 consecutive
days
• After this usage the oil needs to be changed by a qualified technician or
an authorised Silverline service centre (see ‘Specifications’ for correct oil
specifications and ‘Disposal’ for correct recycling procedure)
Note: It is advisable to change the carbon brushes of the motor at the same
time as carrying out an oil service.
Brush replacement
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure,
or visible sparking
• To replace the brushes, remove the Brush Access Caps (8) from both
sides of the machine. Remove the worn brushes and replace with new.
Replace brush access plugs. Alternatively, have the machine serviced at
an authorised Silverline service centre
Storage
• After cleaning, always return the machine to its original metal case
• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children

are no longer functional and are not viable for repair.
• Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic
equipment (WEEE), with household waste
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct
