Safety instructions
Warning
Make sure you are familiar with the operating instruc-
tions before you use the machine.
The machine, together with any attachments and
accessories, must never be used for anything other
than the designated purpose.
All locally legislated safety rules with regard to
installation, operation and maintenance shall be re-
spected at all times.
Before making any adjustments (e.g. changing
sockets) disconnect the machine from the compressed
air line.
Check the direction of the rotation before using
the machine.
When working in close spaces without the use of
a torque reaction bar - there is a risk of injuries due
to squeezing.
Operators of nutrunners with a torque reaction bar
should take particular care to avoid injuries due to
squeezing. For safety reasons – never allow anyone
to operate the machine unless he is trained and thor-
oughly familiar with how the machine works in dif-
ferent circumstances.
Never put your hand on or close to the reaction
bar while the machine is being used.
Check that the power socket is properly fastened.
Replace the retaining or locking pin when necessary.
Also replace any worn socket.
Keep hands, long hair or other objects away from
the rotating socket.
When using a suspension yoke, check that it is in
good condition and correctly fastened.
Warning
Dismantling and assembly precautions
The rotor blades (vanes) in the tool have a PTFE
content. The normal Health and Safety recommend-
ations concerning PTFE must be observed when
handling these rotor blades. Particles from wear of
blades might be found in the machine housing or on
the blades. These particles must not get in contact
with open fire. Wash your hands before smoking as
PTFE-particles heated by the glow can produce
fumes which may give rise to allergic reaction.

Installation
Air quality
• For optimum performance and maximum machine
life we recommend the use of compressed air with
a maximum dew point of +10°C. We also recom-
mend the installation of an Atlas Copco refrigera-
tion-type air dryer.
• Use a separate air filter of type Atlas Copco FIL.
This filter removes solid particles larger than 15
microns and also removes more than 90 % of li-
quid water. The filter must be installed as close
as possible to the machine/equipment and prior
to any other air preparation unit such as REG or
DIM (please see Air Line Accessories in our main
catalogue). Blow out the hose before connecting.
Models which need air lubrication:
• The compressed air must contain a small quantity
of oil.
We strongly recommend that you install an Atlas
Copco oil-fog lubricator (DIM). This should be
set according to air consumption by the air line
tool according to the following formula:
L = Air consumption (litre/s).
(May be found in our sales literature).
D = Number of drops per min (1 drop = 15 mm3)
L* 0.2 = D
this applies to the use of long work cycle air line
tools. A single point lubricator type Atlas Copco
Dosol can also be used for tools with short running
cycles.
Information about Dosol settings may be found
under Air Line Accessories in our main catalogue.
Lubrication-free models:
• In the case of lubrication-free tools it is up to the
customer to decide on the peripheral equipment
to be used. However, it is no disadvantage if the
