8. Mounting the hydraulic cutter
8.1. Connecting the cutter to the carrier’s hydraulic system
Caution!
Never sta d betwee the cutter jaws.
Risk of accident!
There are three possibilities for co ecti g the cutter to the carrier’s hydraulic system, outli ed below:
Hco ecti g a hydraulic cutter for the first time
Hco ecti g to a carrier which has already bee co verted to hammer operatio
Hco ecti g to a carrier which has already bee co verted to cutter operatio
8.1.1.Connecting for the first time
If the carrier satisfies the requireme ts stipulated i Sectio 4 "Tech ical specificatio s", it ca be co verted
to cutter operatio usi g a Atlas Copco co versio kit.
8.1.2.Converting from hammer operation to cutter operation
A exami atio of the existi g hydraulic equipme t by Atlas Copco’s Customer Support or a authorised
dealer will determi e the exte t of retrofitti g required.
8.1.3.Checking existing hydraulic facility for cutter operation
Exami atio by Atlas Copco’s Customer Support or a authorised dealer will determi e whether the hydraulic
facility is suitable for cutter operatio , regardless of whether a Atlas Copco or a o −Atlas Copco co versio
kit has bee used.
Retrofitting may be necessary.
I all three cases, it must be e sured that the hydraulic facilities prese t o safety risks a d that all
specificatio s, e.g. for oil flow rate a d operati g pressure are met.
Importa t:
If a existi g facility features pipes with differe t diameters it must be e sured that the larger diameter is
used for the "close cutter" fu ctio .
For example: omi al diameters of 25 a d 30 mm are available. The pipe with omi al diameter 30 must be
used for the "close cutter" fu ctio .

8.2. Mechanical attachment
8.2.1.Attaching the adapter to the hydraulic cutter
Deposit the hydraulic cutter o squared beams or pallets withi reach of the carrier boom.
All hose co ectio s must be faci g upwards to avoid damage.
Screw the adapter to the rotator plate.

9. Operating the hydraulic cutter
9.1. Media/consumables
9.1.1.Mineral hydraulic fluids
All hydraulic oil bra ds prescribed by the carrier
ma ufacturer are suitable for operati g the hydraulic
cutter.
The oil should however correspo d to viscosity class
HLP 32 or higher.
I summer a d i hotter climates, oils of viscosity
class HLP 68 or higher should be used.
I all other respects the regulatio s of the carrier
ma ufacturer are to be co sidered.
Please observe Fig. 7 whe usi g hydraulic oils for
carriers to operate the hydraulic cutter.

9.1.2.Environment−friendly fluids
I order to protect the e viro me t or o tech ical
grou ds, fluids are curre tly bei g used which are
ot classified as HLP mi eral oils. There are three
differe t groupi gs, classified accordi g to the fluid
base:
−synthetic, water−soluble fluids based on
special polyglycols
−synthetic ester−based fluids
−vegetable−based fluids such as rapeseed
oil, sunflower oil or similar
Whe determi i g whether the hydraulic tool ca be
ru o fluids of this ki d it is imperative to k ow the
ame a d exact type of the fluid i volved. The
ma ufacturers provide data sheets for each type with
characteristic data such as compo e ts, base,
viscosity, temperature limits, compatibility etc.
Max. oil temperature = 60oC
Before using fluids of this kind it is imperative to
enquire with the carrier manufacturer whether
operations with such fluids are possible.
Atlas Copco tools are basically desig ed for use with
mi eral oils. Before usi g other fluid types which
have bee approved by the carrier ma ufacturer,
Atlas Copco’s Customer Support must always be
co sulted. Followi g i itial assembly a d after a y
workshop repairs, our tools are subjected to a test
ru o a test bed powered by mi eral oil.
Eve small traces of mi eral oil mixed i with
e viro me t−frie dly fluids ca result i damage to
both hydraulic attachme t a d carrier.
The environment−friendly fluids will be deprived
of their special properties, such as
biodegradability and toxic behaviour.
It should also be oted that official regulatio s
require such mixtures to be treated as special waste
for disposal purposes.
Should you wish to ru your Atlas Copco tool o
e viro me t−frie dly fluid or be required to do so by
official regulatio s, please advise us accordi gly so
that the tool ca be properly prepared for operatio s
of this ature.
When returning tools for repair, it is imperative
that the name of the fluid in use be indicated.

9.2. Start−up
After mou ti g as described i Sectio 9, the hydraulic cutter is ready for use.
However, before the hydraulic cutter is started up, the followi g safety precautio s must be observed:
Caution!
Stop the hydraulic cutter immediately if a yo e moves i to the da ger zo e, i. e. a radius of at least
7 metres arou d the hydraulic cutter. Depe di g o the applicatio a d the material greater dista ces may
have to be observed or the site must be cordo ed off. Danger by flying splinters!
Close the fro t scree a d, if provided, the spli ter protectio o the driver’s cab to avoid i jury from flyi g
rock spli ters or pieces of metal.
The hydraulic cutter should o ly be operated from the driver’s seat.
9.3. unctional test
Usi g the carrier boom raise the hydraulic cutter u til it is suspe ded vertically.
First fu ctio al test: opening − closing
The cutter jaws are ope ed a d closed by actuati g the switch i the leg−space area of the cab.
Seco d fu ctio al test: rotating clockwise and anticlockwise
The cutter ca be rotated either by usi g the carrier fu ctio "rotate cutter" or mecha ically by pushi g o e
of the cutter jaws agai st a firm object.
Whe rotati g the cutter mecha ically, ports A a d B (se page 13) must be closed usi g the screw plugs
