Warning
WARNING Polymer hazard
The vanes in this product contain PTFE (a synthetic fluoropolymer). Due to wear, there might be
PTFE particles inside the product. Heated PTFE can produce fumes which may cause polymer fume
fever with flu-like symptoms, especially when smoking contaminated tobacco.
Health and Safety recommendations for PTFE must be followed when handling vanes and other com-
ponents:
►Do not smoke when servicing this product
►PTFE-particles must not come in contact with open fire, glow or heat
►Motor components must be washed with cleaning fluid and not blown clear with an air line
►Wash your hands before starting any other activity

Service overview
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
WARNING Compressed air can cause serious injury
►Always shut off the air supply, drain hose of air pressure and disconnect the tool from air supply;
when not in use, before making any adjustments to the product - for example changing acces-
sories, or when making repairs.
WARNING Whipping hoses can cause serious injury
►Always make sure that there are no damaged or loose hoses or fittings.
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 section Technical data.
Make sure that the hose and couplings are clean and free from dust before connecting to the tool.

Operation EN W2621

Operation
Ergonomic guidelines
Consider your workstation as you read through this list of general ergonomic guidelines and see if you can
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 convenient reach range by determining where parts or tools should 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 reducing 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.
■Make sure to take frequent breaks.
■Avoid extreme arm or wrist postures, particularly for operations requiring a degree of force.
■Adjust for convenient field of vision by minimizing movement of the eyes and head during the work
task.
■Use the appropriate lighting for the work task.
■Select the appropriate tool for the work task.
■Use ear protection equipment in noisy environments.
■Use high-quality inserted tools or 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 wheel is either bent or if it is not guided properly. Make sure to
use the correct flanges for cut-off wheels and avoid bending the wheel during cut-off operation.
■When drilling:
The drill might stall when the drill bit breaks through. Makes sure you use support handles if the
stall torque is too high. The safety standard ISO11148 part 3 recommends using something to ab-
sorb the reaction torque above 10 Nm for pistol grip tools and 4 Nm for straight tools.
■When using direct-driven screw or nutrunners:
Reaction forces depend on tool setting and joint characteristics. The ability to bear reaction forces
depends on the operator’s strength and posture. 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.
■Use dust extraction system or mouth protection mask in dusty environments.
