We, Atlas Copco Industrial Technique AB, can-
not be held liable for the consequences of using the
declared values, instead of values reflecting the ac-

This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome
if its use is not adequately managed. An EU guide
to managing hand-arm vibration can be found by

selecting 'Tools' then 'Legislation'.
We recommend a programme of health surveil-
lance to detect early symptoms which may relate to
noise or vibration exposure, so that management
procedures can be modified to help prevent future
impairment.

Tightening of threaded connections
The tightening torques indicated in the exploded
views list are established to achieve the correct
clamping force and preventing the parts from com-
ing loose. At service these parts must be able to
open up without being destroyed. In special cir-
cumstances (depending on application and usage)
the parts may however come loose after some time
of operation. In such cases the torque could be in-
creased 10-20% and if necessary some type of low
or medium threadlocking fluid could also be ap-
plied.

Tightening torque range
Air pressure monitoring, RE-signal S1
Reporting pneumatic assembly tools provide a
pneumatic signal that indicates which part of the
tightening cycle the tool has reached, by means of
variations in air pressure.
In the RE-Controller box timers are triggered when
certain pressure levels are reached.
Pressure level 1 (P1) starts a timer that checks that
the tightening cycle is not too short.
Pressure level 2 (P2) starts a timer that checks the
time taken from when the clutch has been released
to when the operator releases the trigger to ensure
that it is not too short.
The controller measures the differential pressure
over the motor.
It should be noted that the system does not mea-
sure torque! Regular check of installed torque/
torque output of the tool must be done separately.
The RE-Controller checks the air-line pressure.
One of the most common problems in air-line sys-
tems is pressure variations. If the pressure drops
too much the tool might stall and/or the torque will
not be correct. The RE-Controller will give a sig-
nal if the pressure drops too much.
The RE-Controller alerts the operator when it de-
tects:
• Missed fasteners
• Premature tool shut-off
• Stripped threads
• Cross-threading
• Rehits
• Drop in air supply
