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

• Visual Inspection - Tools and Accessories

Visual Inspection - Tools and Accessories

Inspect the tool and its parts visually before use.

Operation

• Ergonomic Guidelines
• General Operation Safety
  • Before Starting to Work
  • During Work
  • After the Work is Finished

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.

General Operation Safety

WARNING

Reversed Direction

This tool operates in a counterclockwise direction.

• Be aware of the rotational direction of this tool.

Before Starting to Work

1. Free speed check

   • The speed, measured at a pressure of 6.3 bars, must not be higher than the rated speed marked on the die grinder.

   • Remove the grinding equipment before doing the free speed check.

   • Do free speed checks daily and especially after a long period of no use.

   • Make sure that the speed marking on the tool is readable.

   • Return the tool for repair when it is overspeeding.

2. Maximum speed check

   • Make sure that the stated maximum speed of the burr or drum is higher than or equal to the speed marked on the die grinder.

3. Grinding equipment check

   • Always disconnect the air supply when changing the grinding equipment or adjusting the tool.

   • Make sure the grinding equipment is not cracked or damage in any way.

   • Make sure that the grinding equipment or drum has the correct dimensions and is attached correctly to prevent unbalanced vibrations.

   • Remove and replace damaged grinding equipment immediately.

4. Personal protection equipment

   Make sure the operators use:

   • Eye protection, goggles or a visor.

   • Ear protection

   • Gloves

   • A helmet (for heavier applications)

   • Do not use loosely hanging clothing, hair or jewellery (risk of getting caught).

5. Working area

   Make sure that the working area is kept free from other people so that no one can get injured.

   • People nearby must wear hearing and eye protection.

   • Make sure that the ventilation and dust extraction from the premises are sufficient.

   • Make sure that it is a stand or a place available to put the tool safely.

   • Work within a sealed-off area, with protective walls if necessary. There is a risk that broken discs fly off.

During Work

Stop using the tool if abnormally loud noises and vibrations occur during use.
