► Blow any impurities out of the compressed air
hose before connecting it to the machine.
► Select the correct dimension and length for the
compressed air hose. For hose lengths up to 0
meters, a hose with a minimum internal diameter
of 19 mm (/4") should be used. If the hose
length is between 0 and 100 meters, a hose
with a minimum internal diameter of 25 mm (1")
should be used.

Connecting a water separator

Use a sufficiently long hose between the
compressor and the water separator to ensure that
the water vapor is cooled and condenses in the
hose before reaching the water separator. If the
ambient temperature is below 0ºC the hose must
not be so long that the water freezes in the hose
before reaching the water separator.
Fitting and removing the
insertion tool
Whenever fitting/removing the insertion tool the
following instructions must be observed:
1. To prevent an accidental start: switch off the
air supply and disconnect the machine from
the power source. Bleed the machine by
pressing the start/stop device.
2. Before inserting a tool, lubricate the tool
shank with grease.
. Fit/remove the insertion tool.
4. Close the tool retainer and check the lock
function by tugging the inserted tool sharply
outwards.

Actions before starting

Prevent freezing

Ice formation in the silencer can occur when the
ambient air temperature is 0–10°C and the relative
humidity is high.
The machine is designed to avoid the formation
of ice in the silencer. Despite this, under extreme
conditions ice can form in the silencer.
The following actions can be taken to further
counteract the risk of ice formation:
1. Use Atlas Copco AIR-OIL as a lubricant. AIR-
OIL counteracts freezing.
2. Use a water separator.

lubrication

The lubricant is important for the machine's
function and has a great impact on the useful
service life. The pneumatic breaker is usually
fitted with an integrated lubricator. If there is no
integrated lubricator, a separate lubricator should
be connected to the air hose. To guarantee good
lubrication, the length of the air hose between the
separate lubricator and the pneumatic breaker
should not exceed  meters.
Use a synthetic lubricant such as Atlas Copco AIR-
OIL or mineral oil with the properties recommended
in the table below.

Oil levels should be checked daily.
The machine should be placed vertically when
checking the level and filling lubricant.
Wipe clean around the oil plug and remove it.
Check that the threads are not damaged or worn
out. Any part with damaged or worn out threads
must be replaced.
Check the O-ring (1). If the O-ring is missing or
damaged it should be replaced immediately.
See table for correct lubricant.
Fill lubricant to the "lowest" thread.
Tighten the plug firmly by hand only and wipe off
any excessive oil.
