The product warranty relies on the correct use, maintenance, and repair of the tool and its component parts.
Damage to parts that occurs as a result of inadequate maintenance or performed by parties other than Atlas Copco or their Certified Service Partners during the warranty period is not covered by the warranty.
To avoid damage or destruction of tool parts, service the tool according to the recommended maintenance schedules and follow the correct instructions.
Warranty repairs are only performed in Atlas Copco workshops or by Certified Service Partners.
Atlas Copco offers extended warranty and state of the art preventive maintenance through its ToolCover contracts. For further information contact your local Service representative.

Service Overview
Overhaul and preventive maintenance
An overhaul should be done once per year or after a maximum of 100.000 tightening. More frequent preventive maintenance and overhaul are needed if the tool is used in heavy-duty operations. If the tool is not working correctly take it out of service immediately for inspection.
At overhaul and maintenance:
clean all parts thoroughly
replace worn or defective parts
lubricate the threads and o-rings with grease before assembly
make sure that the threaded connections on the tool are tightened in accordance with the specifications on the exploded views
Overview
The table below shows the recommended service interval.
The service must only be done by an authorized workshop or qualified service technician.
Daily | Free speed check |
Air lubrication | |
Weekly | Silencer inspection |
Strainer inspection | |
Half yearly | Rating and markings inspection |
Yearly or after 100000 tightenings | Overhaul |
Threaded connections lubrication and tightening |
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
Installation
Installation Requirements
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.

Compressed Air Connection
WARNINGRisk 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.
WARNINGCompressed 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.
Operation
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
Long sockets and extensions
Use extensions and standard sockets instead of long or extra long sockets as the lower inertia/mass of the extension will give less stress on the impact mechanism.
However an extension will reduce the applied torque to some degree.
Tightening time
Use a tightening time of 1-5 seconds. Longer tightening or loosening times will increase wear, cause malfunction and risk of breakage.
Tightening torque
The tightening torque force depend on:
the air pressure
the tightening time
the bolted joint
The tightening torque force is reduced by extension pieces and worn sockets. Oversized power sockets (diameter or length) will overload the impact mechanism and reduce the life of vital parts.
Use the impact wrench within the specified torque range.
Never override the recommended maximum tightening torque.

Lubrication Instructions
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.
Lubricating guide
Use lubricants of good quality. The oils and greases listed in the lubrication table are examples of lubricants that can be recommended.
