Installation Requirements

• Air Quality
• Air Lubrication Guide
• Compressed Air Connection

Air Quality

• For optimum performance and maximum product life we recommend the use of compressed air with a maximum dew point of +10°C (50°F). We also recommend to install an Atlas Copco refrigeration type air dryer.

• Use a separate air filter which removes solid particles larger than 30 microns and more than 90% of liquid water. Install the filter as close as possible to the product and prior to any other air preparation units to avoid pressure drop.

For impulse/impact tools make sure to use lubricators adjusted for these tools. Regular lubricators will add too much oil and therefore decrease the tool performance due to too much oil in the motor.

Make sure that the hose and couplings are clean and free from dust before connecting to the tool.

Both lubricated and lubrication free products will benefit from a small quantity of oil supplied from a lubricator.

Air Lubrication Guide

Compressed Air Connection

WARNING

Risk of severe injury

Air under pressure can cause injury.

• Always shut off the air supply when not in use or before any adjustments.

• Drain the hose of air pressure and disconnect the tool from air supply when not in use or before any adjustments.

• Always use the correct hose size and air pressure for the tool.

WARNING

Compressed Air

High air pressure can cause severe damage and bodily injury.

• Do not exceed maximum air pressure.

• Make sure that there are no damaged or loose hoses or fittings.

For correct air pressure and hose size, see the Technical Product Data on - https://servaid.atlascopco.com or www.atlascopco.com.

Make sure that the hose and couplings are clean and free from dust before connecting to the tool.

Installation Instructions

• Installation of Vibrating Tools

Installation of Vibrating Tools

We recommend using a minimum length of 300 mm (12") of flexible hose for compressed air between a vibrating tool and the quick-action coupling.

Operation

• Ergonomic Guidelines
• Operating Instructions
  • Tightening torque

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.

Operating Instructions

• Tightening torque

Tightening torque

For accurate operation and safety, the tightening torque of the nut runner must be set correctly in relation to the screw joint. Check the tightening torque given to the joint in question.

The air pressure is set at as high a level as possible up to max 6.3 bar – with the aid of a compressed air regulator. Installation of an Atlas Copco regulator, type MIDI REG 15, is recommended.

Loosen the set screw and adjust the torque setting by means of the screw. The torque is increased when screwing the screw clock-wise. After adjustment, tighten the screw.

If shut-off is carried out at high speed of revolution, causing a high torque scatter, it is recommended to reduce the air pressure.

Verification of tightening torque

Atlas Copco Torque Analyser, ACTA 3000, plus an appropriately-sized in-line transducer, IRTT together with the available test joints are recommended equipment.

Tightening of Threaded Connections

The tightening torques indicated in the exploded views list in ServAid (see Spare parts section in https://servaid.atlascopco.com) are established to achieve the correct clamping force and prevent the parts from coming loose.

When servicing these parts, they must be able to open up without being destroyed. In special circumstances (depending on application and usage) the parts may however come loose after some time of operation. In such cases the torque can be increased by 10-20%. If necessary, a low or medium threadlocking fluid can also be applied.

• For Maximum Performance

Rust Protection and Cleaning

Water in the compressed air can cause rust. To prevent rust we strongly recommend to install an air dryer.

Water and particles can cause sticking of vanes and valves. This can be prevented by installing an air filter close to the product to avoid pressure drop.

Before longer stand stills always protect your tool by adding a few drops of oil into the air inlet. Run the tool for 5–10 seconds and absorb any access oil at the air outlet in a cloth.

Lubrication Guide

* Not for angle gears.

Inspection of Motor Parts

• (R) To be replaced (from Service kit Ordering No. ) at every overhaul.

• End plates: Check that they not are scored or scratched. If these are shallow, polish with fine grinding paste against a face plate. Clean thoroughly.

• Rotor: Check that the end faces do not have any marks or burrs. Check that the splines are not worn or cracked.

• Cylinder: Check that the bore is not scored or scratched. If these are shallow, polish with a fine grinding cloth.

For Maximum Performance

At tough working conditions – soft joints and max. setting – lubrication of the air is recommended.

With extreme dry air the service life of vanes and machine performance might be reduced. A daily supply of 0.1 – 0.2 ml oil into the machine inlet will improve the machine performance. Alternatively consider an automatic lubricator device, Atlas Copco oil fog lubricator DIM, or single point lubricator DOS, which will improve the machine performance.
