Atlas Copco DC 200

Preparations before starting
DANGER Fragments flying around
Fragments of material which come loose while
operating the hydraulic attachment may be flung
away and can cause serious injury if people are hit
by them. Small objects falling from a great height
can also cause serious damage.
During hydraulic attachment operation the danger
zone is considerably greater than during the
excavation operation due to fragments of stone
and pieces of steel flying around, and for this
reason the danger zone must, depending on the
type of material to be worked on, be enlarged
correspondingly, or secured in a suitable manner
through corresponding measures.
►
Secure the danger zone.
►
Ensure that no persons are within a distance of
15 metres during cutting work.
►
Ensure that no persons are within a distance of
50 metres during cutting work on reinforced
steel.
►
Stop the hydraulic attachment immediately if
anyone enters the danger zone.
►
Close the windscreen and the side windows of
the driver's cab.
WARNING Falling carrier
A carrier falling or tipping over due to the surface
not being level may cause serious injury and
material damage.
►
Always observe great care when moving the
carrier.
►
Do not use the hydraulic attachment until the
carrier is positioned stably.
NOTICE Damage due to a failure to observe the
operating conditions
A failure to observe the compressive strengths of
the cutting material can lead to severe damage to
property.
►
Prior to every cutting process check the
compressive strength of the cutting material.
►
Never exceed the max. compressive strength of
the cutting material permissible during cutting
work (see chapter Technical specifications).
Depending on the material being cut, round attack
picks will wear at different rates. A particularly high
wear rate should be expected working in the
following materials:
•
reinforced concrete
•
rock with a high SiO
2
content, when using
spray water and when cutting under water
•
hard rock such as granite, basalt
Note: Prior to using the transverse drum cutter in
the aforementioned materials, contact the Atlas
Copco Customer Center/Dealer in your area in
order to guarantee optimum working efficiency.
The Atlas Copco Customer Center/Dealer will
advise on the use of suitable tools and the
requisite cutting capacity.
◆
Before using the transverse drum cutter always
carry out all maintenance actions mandatory
before and after operating (see chapter
Maintenance schedule).
This is to prolong service life and maintain high
and save productivity.
◆
Make sure that there are no people in the
danger zone.
◆
Start the carrier as instructed by the carrier
manufacturer.
◆
Raise the transverse drum cutter.
◆
Let the carrier heat up until the operating
temperature prescribed by the carrier
manufacturer has been reached.
◆
Put the carrier in working position.
