Preventing Freezing in Silencer

The tool is designed to prevent ice formation in the silencer. But under extreme conditions ice can be formed in the silencer.

Ice formation in the silencer can occur when the ambient air temperature is 0-10°C (32-50°F) and the relative humidity is high.

To prevent ice formation in the silencer, do the following:

  • Use the Atlas Copco Breaker and hammer AIR-OIL as a lubricant. Breaker and hammer AIR-OIL counteracts freezing.

  • Use a water separator.
