WARNING Ejected oil plug

If the oil plug on a pressurized machine comes loose
it can blow out and cause personal injury.

► Before loosening the oil plug, the compressed air

must be switched off by the compressor and the
system must be bled.

► Before starting the machine, check that the threads

on the oil plug and in the lubricator are not
damaged or worn out.

► Check that the O-ring on the oil plug is in place

and that it is not damaged or worn out.

WARNING Ejected insertion tool

If the tool retainer on the machine is not in a locked
position, the inserted tool can be ejected with force,
which can cause personal injury.

► Never start the machine while changing the

insertion tool.

► Before changing the insertion tool or accessories,

stop the machine, switch off the power supply and
bleed the machine by activating the start and stop
device.

► Never point the inserted tool at yourself or anyone

else.

► Make sure that the insertion tool is fully inserted

and the tool retainer is in a locked position before
the machine is started.

► Check the locking function by pulling the inserted

tool outwards forcefully.

WARNING Moving or slipping insertion tool

An incorrect dimension of the inserted tool’s shank
can result in that the inserted tool is lost or is slipping
out during operation. Risk of severe injury or crushed
hands and fingers.

► Check that the insertion tool has the shank length

and dimensions that the machine is intended for.

► Never use an insertion tool without a collar.

Operation, precautions

DANGER Explosion hazard

If an insertion tool comes into contact with explosives
or explosive gases, an explosion could occur. When
working on certain materials and when using certain
materials in machine parts, sparks and ignition can
occur. Explosions will lead to severe injuries or death.

► Never operate the machine in any explosive

environment.

► Never use the machine near flammable materials,

fumes or dust.

► Make sure that there are no undetected sources

of gas or explosives.

WARNING Unexpected movements

The insertion tool is exposed to heavy strains when
the machine is used. The insertion tool may break
due to fatigue after a certain amount of use. If the
insertion tool breaks or gets stuck, there may be
sudden and unexpected movement that can cause
injuries. Furthermore, losing your balance or slipping
may cause injury.

► Make sure that you always keep a stable position

with your feet as far apart as your shoulder width,
and keeping a balanced body weight.

► Always inspect the equipment prior to use. Never

use the equipment if you suspect that it is
damaged.

► Make sure that the handles are clean and free of

grease and oil.

► Keep your feet away from the insertion tool.
► Stand firmly and always hold on to the machine

with both hands.

► Never start the machine when it is lying on the

ground.

► Never ‘ride’ on the machine with one leg over the

handle.

Original instructions

► Never strike or abuse the equipment.
► Check regularly for wear on the insertion tool, and

check whether there are any signs of damage or
visible cracks.

► Pay attention and look at what you are doing.

WARNING Dust and fume hazard

Dusts and/or fumes generated or dispersed when
using the machine may cause serious and permanent
respiratory disease, illness, or other bodily injury (for
example, silicosis or other irreversible lung disease
that can be fatal, cancer, birth defects, and/or skin
inflammation).

Some dusts and fumes created by drilling, breaking,
hammering, sawing, grinding and other construction
activities contain substances known to the State of
California and other authorities to cause respiratory
disease, cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of such substances are:

● Crystalline silica, cement, and other masonry

products.

● Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated

rubber.

● Lead from lead-based paints.

Dust and fumes in the air can be invisible to the
naked eye, so do not rely on eye sight to determine
if there is dust or fumes in the air.

To reduce the risk of exposure to dust and fumes,
do all of the following:

► Perform site-specific risk assessment. The risk

assessment should include dust and fumes
created by the use of the machine and the
potential for disturbing existing dust.

► Use proper engineering controls to minimize the

amount of dust and fumes in the air and to
minimize build-up on equipment, surfaces,
clothing, and body parts. Examples of controls
include: exhaust ventilation and dust collection
systems, water sprays, and wet drilling. Control
dusts and fumes at the source where possible.
Make sure that controls are properly installed,
maintained and correctly used.

► Wear, maintain and correctly use respiratory

protection as instructed by your employer and as
required by occupational health and safety
regulations. The respiratory protection must be
effective for the type of substance at issue (and if
applicable, approved by relevant governmental
authority).

► Work in a well ventilated area.
► If the machine has an exhaust, direct the exhaust

so as to reduce disturbance of dust in a dust filled
environment.

► Operate and maintain the machine as

recommended in the operating and safety
instructions

► Select, maintain and replace consumables/

insertion tools/ other accessories as recommended
in the operating and safety instructions. Incorrect
selection or lack of maintenance of consumables/
inserted tools/ other accessories may cause an
unnecessary increase in dust or fumes.

► Wear washable or disposable protective clothes

at the worksite, and shower and change into clean
clothes before leaving the worksite to reduce
exposure of dust and fumes to yourself, other
persons, cars, homes, and other areas.

► Avoid eating, drinking, and using tobacco products

in areas where there is dust or fumes.

► Wash your hands and face thoroughly as soon as

possible upon leaving the exposure area, and
always before eating, drinking, using tobacco
products, or making contact with other persons.

► Comply with all applicable laws and regulations,

including occupational health and safety
regulations.

► Participate in air monitoring, medical examination

programs, and health and safety training programs
provided by your employer or trade organizations
and in accordance with occupational health and
safety regulations and recommendations. Consult
with physicians experienced with relevant
occupational medicine.

► Work with your employer and trade organization

to reduce dust and fume exposure at the worksite
and to reduce the risks. Effective health and safety
programs, policies and procedures for protecting
workers and others against harmful exposure to
dust and fumes should be established and
implemented based on advice from health and
safety experts. Consult with experts.

► Residues of hazardous substances on the

machine can be a risk. Before undertaking any
maintenance on the machine, clean it thoroughly.

WARNING Projectiles

Failure of the work piece, of accessories, or even of
the machine itself may generate high velocity
projectiles. During operating, splinters or other
particles from the working material may become
projectiles and cause personal injury by striking the

► Never use an insertion tool as a hand struck tool.

They are specifically designed and heat-treated
to be used only in a machine.

WARNING Slipping, tripping and falling

hazards

There is a risk of slipping or tripping or falling, for
example tripping on the hoses or on other objects.
Slipping or tripping or falling can cause injury. To
reduce this risk:

► Always make sure that no hose or other object is

in your way or in any other person's way.

► Always make sure you are in a stable position with

your feet as far apart as your shoulders width and
keeping a balanced body weight.

WARNING Motion hazards

When using the machine to perform work-related
activities, you may experience discomfort in the
hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of the
body.

► Adopt a comfortable posture while maintaining

secure footing and avoiding awkward off-balanced
postures.

► Changing posture during extended tasks may help

avoid discomfort and fatigue.

► In case of persistent or recurring symptoms,

consult a qualified health professional.

WARNING Vibration hazards

Normal and proper use of the machine exposes the
operator to vibration. Regular and frequent exposure
to vibration may cause, contribute to, or aggravate
injury or disorders to the operator’s fingers, hands,
wrists, arms, shoulders and/or nerves and blood
supply or other body parts, including debilitating
and/or permanent injuries or disorders that may
develop gradually over periods of weeks, months, or
years. Such injuries or disorders may include damage
to the blood circulatory system, damage to the
nervous system, damage to joints, and possibly
damage to other body structures.

If numbness, persistent recurring discomfort, burning
sensation, stiffness, throbbing, tingling, pain,
clumsiness, weakened grip, whitening of the skin, or
other symptoms occur at any time, when operating
the machine or when not operating the machine, stop
operating the machine, tell your employer and seek
medical attention. Continued use of the machine after
the occurrence of any such symptom may increase
the risk of symptoms becoming more severe and/or
permanent.

Operate and maintain the machine as recommended
in these instructions, to prevent an unnecessary
increase in vibration.

The following may help to reduce exposure to
vibration for the operator:

► Let the tool do the job. Use a minimum hand grip

consistent with proper control and safe operation.

► If the machine has vibration absorbing handles,

keep them in a central position, avoid pressing the
handles into the end stops.

► When the percussion mechanism is activated, the

only body contact with the machine you should
have are your hands on the handle or handles.
Avoid any other contact, for example supporting
any part of the body against the machine or
leaning onto the machine trying to increase the
feed force. It is also important not to keep the start
and stop device engaged while extracting the tool
from the work surface.

Original instructions

► Make sure that the inserted tool is well-maintained

(including sharpness, if a cutting tool), not worn
out, and of the proper size. Insertion tools that are
not well-maintained, or that are worn out, or that
are not of the proper size result in longer time to
complete a task (and a longer period of exposure
to vibration) and may result in or contribute to
higher levels of vibration exposure.

► Immediately stop working if the machine suddenly

starts to vibrate strongly. Before resuming the
work, find and remove the cause of the increased
vibrations.

► Never grab, hold or touch the inserted tool when

using the machine.

Overview

To reduce the risk of serious injury or death to
yourself or others, read the Safety instructions
section found on the previous pages of this
manual before operating the machine.

Design and function

TEX 140PS-TEX 280PE is a range of hand-held,
pneumatic breakers designed for medium to heavy
demolition of materials such as concrete, asphalt
and brickwork. The pneumatic breakers are designed
for vertical use. No other use is permitted.

Recommended insertion tools are listed in the spare
parts list.

Choosing the correct breaker
for a task

It is important to choose the correct size of breaker
for the work to be performed.

A breaker that is too small means that the work will
take longer.

A breaker that is too large means that there must be
frequent repositioning, which is unnecessarily tiring
for the operator.

A simple rule for choosing the correct size of breaker
is that a normal sized piece of broken material should
be removed from the workpiece within 10–20
seconds operation.

● If it takes less than 10 seconds a smaller breaker

should be selected.

Main parts

♦

Select the correct dimension and length for the
compressed air hose. For hose lengths up to 30
m (100 ft), a hose with a minimum internal
diameter of 19 mm (3/4 in.) must be used. If the
hose length is between 30 and 100 m (100 and
330 ft), a hose with a minimum internal diameter
of 25 mm (1 in.) must be used.

Methods to prevent freezing

Ice formation in the silencer can occur when the
ambient air temperature is 0–10°C (32-50 °F) and
the relative humidity is high.

The machine is designed to avoid the formation of
ice in the silencer. Despite this, under extreme
conditions ice can form in the silencer.

Take the following actions to further counteract the
risk of ice formation:

♦

Use Atlas Copco Breaker and hammer AIR-OIL
as a lubricant. Breaker and hammer AIR-OIL
counteracts freezing.

♦

Use a water separator.

Checking the oil level and filling the
integrated lubricator

♦

Check the oil level daily.

♦

Place the machine vertically, when checking the
oil level, and filling lubricant.

♦

Wipe clean around the oil plug and remove it.

Connecting a water separator

The length of the air hose between the compressor
and the water separator must be such that the water
vapor is cooled and condenses in the hose before
reaching the water separator.

If the ambient temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) the
hose must be short enough to prevent the water from
freezing before reaching the water separator.

Lubrication

The lubricant is important for the machine’s function
and has a great impact on the useful service life. If
there is no integrated lubricator, then connect a
separate lubricator to the air hose. To guarantee
good lubrication, the length of the air hose between
the separate lubricator and the pneumatic machine
should not exceed 3 meters.

Use a synthetic lubricant such as Atlas Copco
Breaker and hammer AIR-OIL or mineral oil with the
properties recommended in the table below.

♦

Check that the threads are not damaged or worn
out. Always replace parts with damaged or worn
out threads.

♦

Check the O-ring (A). If the O-ring is missing or
damaged, replace it immediately.

♦

See the table for correct lubricant.

♦

Fill lubricant to the 'lowest' thread (B).

♦

Tighten the plug firmly by hand and wipe off any
excessive oil.

Insertion tool

CAUTION Hot working tool

The tip of the working tool can become hot and sharp
when used. Touching it can lead to burns and cuts.

► Never touch a hot or sharp working tool.
► Wait until the working tool has cooled down before

carrying out maintenance work.

NOTICE Never cool a hot insertion tool in water, it
can result in brittleness and early failure.

Selecting the right insertion tool

Selecting the right insertion tool is a precondition for
proper machine function. It is important to select
insertion tools of high quality to avoid unnecessary
machine damage.

The machine can be destroyed if you use an incorrect
insertion tool.

Recommended insertion tools are listed in the
machine's spare parts list.

Narrow chisel

The narrow chisel is used for
demolition and cutting work in
concrete and other types of
hard materials.

Moil point

The moil point is only used for
making holes in concrete and
other types of hard materials.

Wide bladed chisel

The wide bladed chisel is used
in soft materials, such as
asphalt and frozen ground.

WARNING Vibration hazard

Using inserted tools that do not fulfil the criterias
mentioned below, will result in a longer time to
complete a task, and may result in higher levels of
vibration exposure. A worn tool will also cause
increased working time.

► Make sure that the inserted tool is well-maintained,

not worn out and of the proper size.

Checking for wear on the tool shank

Use the gauge that corresponds to the insertion tool’s
shank dimension. See section "Technical data" for
correct tool shank dimensions.

● Check if the gauge’s hole (A) can be pushed down

on the insertion tool’s shank, this means that the
shank is worn out and the insertion tool should be
replaced.

● Check the length (B), that it is according to the

ordered machine type.

Fitting and removing the insertion tool

Whenever fitting or removing the insertion tool the
following instructions must be observed:

♦

♦

Stand in a stable position with your feet well away
from the inserted tool.

♦

Press the machine against the working surface
before you start.

♦

Start collaring at such a distance from the edge
that the machine is capable of breaking the
material without levering.

♦

Never try to break off too large pieces. Adjust the
breaking distance (A) so that the inserted tool does
not get stuck.

♦

Avoid working in extremely hard materials for
example granite and reinforcing iron (re-bar) which
would cause substantial vibrations.

♦

Any form of idling, operating without insertion tool
or operating with an uplifted machine must be
avoided.

♦

When the machine is lifted, the start and stop
device must not be activated.

♦

Check regularly that the machine is well lubricated.

When taking a break

♦

During all breaks you must place the machine in
such a way that there is no risk for it to be
unintentionally started. Make sure to place the

of values reflecting the actual exposure, in an individual risk assessment in a work place situation over which
we have no control.

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 at http://www.humanvibration.com/humanvibration/EU/VIBGUIDE.html

We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms which may relate to vibration
exposure, so that management procedures can be modified to help prevent future impairment.

The vibration emission varies greatly with task and operator technique. The declared vibration value relates to
the main handle(s) and much higher vibration levels may occur at other hand positions. We believe that normal
intended use of the tool will usually produce vibration emissions in the range of Cm⁄

2

s

and Em⁄

2

s

(vibration total

values, as defined in EN ISO 5349-1) depending on the details of the task, but emissions outside this range
may occur for some applications.

A figure of Dm⁄

2

s

and Fm⁄

2

s

is probably a useful average emission value when, for example, roughly estimating

the likely average exposures of users performing a wide range of tasks within the intended use of the tool. We
point out that application of the tool to a sole specialist task may produce a different average emission and in
such cases we strongly recommend a specific evaluation of the vibration emission.

Un flexible d'air comprimé qui se détache risque de
fouetter dans tous les sens et de provoquer des
dommages corporels ou la mort. Pour réduire ce
risque :

► Vérifiez que le flexible d'air comprimé et les

raccords ne sont pas endommagés. Les remplacer
si nécessaire.

► Vérifiez que les raccords d'air comprimé sont

correctement fixés.

► Ne jamais porter une machine pneumatique par

le flexible d'air.

Instructions d’origine

TEX 140P, 140PS, 150PE, 180PS, 190PE, 220PS,
230PE, 270PS, 280PE

Prescriptions de sécurité et instructions pour

l’opérateur

► Never attempt to disconnect a compressed air

hose that is pressurized. First switch off the
compressed air at the compressor and then bleed
the machine by activating the start and stop
device.

► N'utilisez pas de raccords rapides à l'entrée de

l'outil. Utilisez des raccords filetés en acier trempé
(ou un matériau présentant une résistance aux
chocs comparable).

► Chaque fois que des raccords universels (raccords

à griffes) sont utilisés, nous recommandons de
monter des goupilles de verrouillage et d’utiliser
des câbles de sécurité pour tuyaux flexibles, afin
d’empêcher tout relâchement d’un accouplement
flexible - outil et tuyau - tuyau.

► Ne jamais pointer un flexible d'air comprimé sur

quelqu'un ou sur soi. Afin d'éviter tout risque de
blessure, ne jamais utiliser l'air comprimé pour
nettoyer la poussière, les salissures, etc., sur vos
vêtements.

AVERTISSEMENT Bouchon d'huile éjecté

Si le bouchon d'huile se détache sur une machine
sous pression, il risque d'être éjecté et de provoquer
des dommages corporels.

► Avant de desserrer le bouchon d'huile, coupez

l'alimentation en air comprimé au niveau du
compresseur, puis purgez la machine.

► Avant de démarrer la machine, contrôlez que le

filetage du bouchon d'huile dans le graisseur n'est
pas endommagé.

► Contrôlez que le joint torique du bouchon d’huile

est en place et qu'il n'est ni endommagé ni usé.

AVERTISSEMENT Outil d'insertion éjecté

Si la sécurité de l'outil n'est pas verrouillée sur la
machine, l'outil d'insertion risque d'être éjecté avec
force, et de provoquer des dommages corporels.

► Ne démarrez jamais la machine au moment du

changement de l'outil d'insertion.

► Avant de changer l'outil d'insertion ou un

accessoire, arrêtez la machine, coupez
l'alimentation électrique et purgez la machine en
activant le dispositif de marche/arrêt.

► Ne jamais pointer l'outil inséré vers soi-même ni

vers autrui.

► Assurez-vous que l'outil d'insertion est entièrement

inséré et que la sécurité de l'outil est en position
verrouillée avant tout démarrage de la machine.

► Vérifiez la fonction de verrouillage en tirant

énergiquement l'outil inséré vers l'extérieur.

AVERTISSEMENT Déplacement / glissement

d'outil d'insertion

Une dimension incorrecte de L'emmanchement de
l'outil inséré peut induire la perte ou le glissement
de ce dernier pendant le fonctionnement. Risque de
blessure grave ou d'écrasement des mains et des
doigts.

► Vérifiez que l'outil d'insertion utilisé possède la

bonne taille d'emmanchement et les dimensions
pour lesquelles la machine est prévue.

► Ne jamais utiliser un outil d'insertion sans collet.

Fonctionnement, précautions

DANGER Danger d'explosion

Si un outil d'insertion chaud entre en contact avec
un explosif ou avec des gaz explosifs, cela pourrait
provoquer une explosion. Lors de travaux sur

AVERTISSEMENT Dangers liés aux

poussières et aux fumées

Les poussières et/ou de fumées générées ou
dispersées lors de l’utilisation de la machine peuvent
causer des maladies respiratoires graves et
permanentes, ou autre lésion corporelle (par
exemple, la silicose ou autre maladie pulmonaire
irréversible qui peut être mortelle, cancer,
malformations congénitales et/ou inflammation de la
peau).

Certaines poussières et fumées créées lors de
foration, casse, martelage, sciage, meulage et autres
activités de construction, contiennent des substances
connues dans l'État de Californie et par d’autres
autorités pour provoquer des maladies respiratoires,
le cancer, des malformations congénitales ou autres
problèmes de reproduction. Voici quelques exemples
de ces substances :

● Silice cristalline, ciment et autres produits de

maçonnerie.

● Arsenic et chrome provenant de caoutchouc traité

chimiquement.

● Plomb provenant de peintures à base de plomb.

Les poussières et fumées dans l’air peuvent être
invisibles à l’œil nu. Par conséquent, ne comptez
pas sur la vue oculaire pour déterminer s'il y a des
poussières ou des fumées dans l’air.

Pour réduire les risques d’exposition aux poussières
et fumées, effectuez tout ce qui suit :

► Effectuez une évaluation des risques spécifiques

au site. L'évaluation des risques devra inclure les
poussières et les vapeurs créées par l’utilisation
de la machine et les poussières susceptibles
d'incommoder le voisinage.

► Utilisez la sécurité intégrée appropriée pour

minimiser la quantité de poussières et de fumées
dans l’air et leur accumulation sur les
équipements, les surfaces, les vêtements et les
parties du corps. Exemples de mesures
applicables : systèmes de ventilation aspirante et
de captage des poussières, pulvérisation d'eau et
forage humide. Contrôlez les poussières et les
fumées à la source lorsque cela est possible.
Assurez-vous que ces systèmes sont correctement
installés, entretenus et utilisés.

► Porter, entretenir et utiliser correctement l'appareil

de protection respiratoire comme indiqué par votre
employeur et tel que requis par les
réglementations de santé et de sécurité. L'appareil
de protection respiratoire doit être compatible avec
le type de substance en cause (et le cas échéant,
approuvé par l'autorité gouvernementale
pertinente).
