At overhaul, clean all parts accurately and replace defective or worn parts.

Lubricate gears and clutch with grease containing molybdenum disulphide, for example Molykote BR2 Plus, refer to the exploded views.

Lubricate o-rings and threaded connections with grease before assembling.

Make sure that all threaded connections on the tool are tightened correctly according to the specifications on the exploded views.

Service Recommendations

Preventive maintenance is recommended at regular intervals. See the detailed information on preventive maintenance. If the product is not working properly, take it out of service and inspect it.

If no detailed information about preventive maintenance is included, follow these general guidelines:

• Clean appropriate parts accurately

• Replace any defective or worn parts

Ergonomic Guidelines

Consider your workstation as you read through this list of general ergonomic guidelines to identify areas for improvement in posture, component placement, or work environment.

• Take frequent breaks and change work positions frequently.

• Adapt the workstation area to your needs and the work task.

  • Adjust for a convenient reach range by determining where parts and tools need to be located to avoid static load.

  • Use workstation equipment such as tables and chairs appropriate for the work task.

• Avoid work positions above shoulder level or with static holding during assembly operations.

  • When working above shoulder level, reduce the load on the static muscles by lowering the weight of the tool, using for example torque arms, hose reels or weight balancers. You can also reduce the load on the static muscles by holding the tool close to the body.

  • Take frequent breaks.

  • Avoid extreme arm or wrist postures, particularly during operations requiring a degree of force.

• Adjust for a convenient field of vision that requires minimal eye and head movements.

• Use appropriate lighting for the work task.

• Select the appropriate tool for the work task.

• In noisy environments, use ear protection equipment.

• Use high-quality inserted tools and consumables to minimize exposure to excessive levels of vibration.

• Minimize exposure to reaction forces.

  • When cutting:

    A cut-off wheel can get stuck if the cut-off wheel is bent or not guided properly. Use the correct flange for the cut-off wheel and avoid bending the cut-off wheel during operation.

  • When drilling:

    The drill might stall when the drill bit breaks through. Use support handles if the stall torque is high. The safety standard ISO11148 part 3 recommends using a device to absorb a reaction torque above 10 Nm for pistol grip tools and 4 Nm for straight tools.

  • When using direct-driven screwdrivers or nutrunners:

    Reaction forces depend on the tool settings and joint characteristics. Strength and posture determine the amount of reaction force that an operator can tolerate. Adapt the torque setting to the operator's strength and posture and use a torque arm or reaction bar if the torque is too high.

• In dusty environments, use a dust extraction system or wear a mouth protection mask.

• The green LED flashes: The battery pack charges.

• The green LED is steady lit: The battery is fully charged.

2 Red LED:

• The red LED flashes: Contact problems; the battery pack is defective.

• The red LED is steady lit: The temperature is too high/low.

Setting tool speed

1. Set the tool speed with + or - button.

2. Confirm the speed with the enter button.

3. The LED flashes yellow once when the new speed is confirmed.

Adjusting the torque

The tightening torque is adjusted by changing the tension of the clutch spring with the key and the adjustment disc (clutch adjusting kit).

Start at a low torque setting to prevent screw joint damage. If the torque is set too high, there will be no click-sound from the clutch, the green LED will not lit and the motor will be turned off.

Do not adjust the torque over the recommended maximum value as it will result in incorrect function and faster wear.

1. Put the key in the hole at the front part of the tool.

2. Turn the key clockwise to increase the tightening torque.

3. Finish the adjustment at a holding position, located each 1.5 turns of the key.

Controlling the torque

Atlas Copco’s Torque Analyser, ACTA 4000, plus an correctly-sized in-line rotary transducer, such as IRTT, are suitable instruments for controlling the torque.

Standby behaviour (from serial no.A3482445)
