Noise hazards
• High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss and
other problems such as tinnitus. Use hearing protection as
recommended by your employer or occupational health
and safety regulations.
• To prevent unnecessary increases in noise levels operate
and maintain the tool, and select, maintain and replace the
accessories and consumables, in accordance with this in-
struction manual.
Workplace hazards
• Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or death.
Be aware of excess hose left on the walking or work sur-
face.
• Avoid inhaling dust or fumes or handling debris from the
work process which can cause ill health (for example,
cancer, birth defects, asthma and/or dermatitis). Use dust
extraction and wear respiratory protective equipment
when working with materials which produce airborne
particles.
• Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities contains chemi-
cals known to the State of California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead based paints
• Crystalline silica bricks and cement and other ma-
sonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated rub-
ber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
• Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. Be aware
of potential hazards created by your work activity. This
tool is not insulated from coming into contact with elec-
tric power sources.

ATEX Certification Information
Temperatures
• The maximum surrounding temperature for which the
certification is valid is 40°C.
© Atlas Copco Industrial Technique AB - 9834 3996 00
• 40°C is also the maximum allowed temperature of the
compressed air when it enters the product.
• If the product is installed in an equipment, the entire
equipment has to correspond to the guidelines 2014/34/
EU.
• Make sure that the compressed air fulfil our quality de-
mands (quality classes 2.4.3. and 3.4.4 respectively 3.5.4
acc. to ISO/DIS 8573-1:2010).
• Do not exceed maximum pressure of 6.3 bar, or as stated
on the product nameplate. Exceeding the operating pres-
sure can increase the surface temperature due to higher
rotating speed and the product can become an ignition
source.
Ex Classification
If the product is part of an assembly where the components
have different Ex classification, the component with the low-
est level of safety defines the Ex classification of the com-
plete assembly.
Explosion Prevention Guidelines
Cleanliness
• Make sure the product is kept clean from dust and dirt to
prevent increased bearing and surface temperature.
• If using a silencer: Make sure a silencer with a filtering
effect at the air outlet is installed to prevent any friction-
heated particles entering into the surrounding atmosphere.
Usage
• Make sure the product is earthed to the equipotential
bonding system of the workshop, for example through ac-
cessories such as hoses and air-pressure connections.
• It is the responsibility of the user to make sure that the
product and all possible accessories, such as wrenches
and air connections, conform to the national safety regu-
lations for equipment used in potentially explosive areas.
