WARNING Whipping hydraulic hose
Hydraulic hoses under pressure can whip
uncontrollably if screws loosen or are loosened. A
whipping hydraulic hose can cause severe injuries.
Depressurise the hydraulic system before
►
loosening the connection of a hydraulic hose.
Tighten the nuts on the connections of the
►
hydraulic hoses to the required torque.
►
Check that the hydraulic hose and the connections
are not damaged.
Hoses
For connection on the machine, the hydraulic hose
must be approved for a working pressure of at least
160 bar (2300 psi) and have a ½" inner diameter. To
resist exterior wear and tear, we recommend using
a 2-layer hydraulic hose. The machine connection
marked P (pump) is the oil inlet, and the connection
marked T (tank) is the oil outlet. Always connect both
hoses and make sure that all hose connections are
tight. Never carry the machine by the hose.
Quick-release couplings
The original Atlas Copco hydraulic hoses are fitted
with Flat-Face quick-release couplings that are strong
and easy to clean. The quick-release couplings are
fitted so that the male connection supplies oil and
the female connection receives oil.
NOTICE Wipe all couplings clean before
connecting. Ensure that couplings are clean and
correctly engaged before operation. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the quick couplings and

Original instructions
Safety and operating instructions
cause overheating and cause foreign matter to enter
the hydraulic system.
Hydraulic oil
In order to protect the environment, Atlas Copco
recommends the use of biologically degradable
hydraulic oil. No other fluids should be used.
♦
Viscosity (preferred) 20-40 cSt.
♦
Viscosity (permitted) 15-100 cSt.
♦
Viscosity index Min. 100.
Standard mineral or synthetic oil can be used. Make
sure to only use clean oil and filling equipment.
When the machine is used continuously, the oil
temperature will stabilise at a level which is called
the working temperature. This will, depending on the
type of work and the cooling capacity of the hydraulic
system, be between 20-40°C (68-104°F) above the
ambient temperature. At working temperature, the
oil viscosity must lie within the preferred limits. The
viscosity index indicates the connection between
viscosity and temperature. A high viscosity is
therefore preferred, because the oil can then be used
within a wider temperature range. The machine shall
not be used, if oil viscosity fails to remain within the
permitted area, or if the working temperature of the
oil does not fall between 20°C (68°F) and 70°C
(158°F).
Cutting blades
NOTICE High-quality cutting blades are often most
economical. Lower quality blades often have inferior
cutting capacity and a shorter service life, which
results in a higher cost in relation to the quantity of
material that is cut. The cutting blades must be
approved for free hand cutting machines and rated
for minimum 4400 rpm.
Selecting the right cutting blade
The cut-off saws can be used with both diamond
blades and with the more traditional abrasive discs.
Store and handle the abrasive product with care in
accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
Abrasive discs
Using abrasive discs, the cut-off saw can be used
for cutting steel, concrete, asphalt or other material
depending on the blade type.
Diamond blades
Diamond blades are ideal for masonry, reinforced
concrete and other composite materials. They are
not, however, recommended for cutting steel.
