Notice
Many events in the operating environment may af-
fect the tightening process and shall require a vali-
dation of results. In compliance with applicable
standards and/or regulations, we hereby require
you to check the installed torque after any event
that can influence the tightening result. Examples
of such events include but are not limited to:
• initial installation of the tooling system
• change of part batch, bolt, screw batch, tool,
software, configuration or environment
• change of air- or electrical connections
• change in line ergonomics, process, quality
procedures or practices
• changing of operator
• any other change that influences the result of
the tightening process
The check should:
• Ensure that the joint conditions have not
changed due to events of influence.
• Be done after initial installation, maintenance
or repair of the equipment.
• Occur at least once per shift or at another suit-
able frequency.
Safety and operating
instructions
Safety instructions
Warning / Important
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below, may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
All locally legislated safety rules with regard
to installation, operation and maintenance
must be respected at all times. Refer installa-
tion and servicing to qualified personnel only.
When working simultaneously with welding
equipment, the work piece must be earthed sepa-
rately while welding is in progress. This is to pre-
vent the return current passing through Power Fo-
cus earth cables, in case the return lines for the
welding equipment have not been mounted cor-
rectly on the work piece. Atlas Copco recommends
that earthing be carried out with a conductor area
at least as large as the return line for the welding
equipment being used.
Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Clut-
tered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
Earthed tools must be plugged into an outlet
that has been properly installed and earthed in
compliance with all relevant codes and ordi-
nances. Never remove the earthing prong or
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electri-
cian if you are in any doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly earthed. Should the tools suffer
electronic malfunction or breakdown, earthing pro-
vides a low resistance path to carry electricity
away from the user.
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTH
GROUNDED!
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigera-
tors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock. This instruction does not
apply to tools classified as watertight or splash
proof.
For minimum electrical interference, place the in-
strument far away from possible sources of electri-
cal noise, e.g. arc welding equipment etc.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to
carry the tools or to pull the plug from an out-
let. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Replace damaged cords imme-
diately. Damaged cords increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
