THE COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY

AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

• Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source.

• Air compressors used with the impact wrench must comply with the

appropriate European Community Safety Directives.

• A build-up of moisture or oil in the air compressor will accelerate

wear and corrosion in the impact wrench. ensure any moisture is

drained from the compressor daily and the inlet filter is kept clean.

• If an unusually long air hose is required, (over 8 metres), the line

pressure or the hose inside diameter may need to be increased.

• The air hose must be rated at least 150% of the maximum operating

pressure of the tool.

• A typical air line layout is shown above. If an automatic in-line filter/

regulator is used, it will keep the tool in good condition, but should

be regularly checked and topped up with oil. SAE 10 oil should be

used, and the lubricator adjusted to approx 2 drops per minute.

• The minimum hose diameter should be 5/16”(8mm) ID and fittings

should have the same internal dimensions.

WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU

ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF

COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

• Never exceed the maximum operating pressure for the tool. It is

recommended that air pressure to this tool does not exceed 90 psi

at the tool when running. Higher pressures and unclean air will

shorten the life of the tool due to faster wear and is a possible safety

hazard.

BEFORE USE

NOTE: Ensure the air supply is turned off.

1. If required, connect an in-line mini oiler to the tool.

• A mini oiler helps to prolong the life of the air tool. Remove the oil fill

screw from the side of the mini oiler and fill with Air-line Oil available

from your CLARKE dealer. Replace the screw before using the tool.

2. If a mini-oiler is not being used, run a few drops of oil through the tool

before use. It can be entered through the air inlet.

3. Connect a suitable hose to the

female air inlet as shown.

4. Connect the other end of the hose

to the air supply.

5. Turn on the air supply and check

for air leaks.

• Rectify any found before

proceeding.

Your air tool is now ready for use.

You can fit a whip hose with a quick fit coupling if required (available from

your Clarke dealer.)

DISCONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY

Do not disconnect the air supply hose until the air supply has been shut down

and the compressed air released.

1. Refer to the compressor instruction manual for the procedure to shut down

and release the compressed air.

2. Once the pressure has been released, disconnect the air supply hose from

the air drill.

Store the tool safely in its box in a dry, secure environment.

MAINTENANCE

DAILY

1. Before use, drain water from the compressed air supply.

2. Pour a few drops of CLARKE airline oil, into the air inlet. This should be

carried out regardless of whether or not an in-line mini oiler is used. If an

inline mini oiler is not used, this procedure should be repeated after every

two to three hours of use.

WEEKLY

1. Check the air inlet screen filter for

blockage and clean if necessary.

1. Keep the body of the tool clean

and free from debris. Grit or gum

deposits in the tool may reduce

efficiency.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE DRILL IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE AIR

SUPPLY BEFORE STARTING ANY CLEANING, OR MAINTENANCE

PROCEDURES.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

LUBRICATION

The right angle drive is fitted with a

grease nipple to provide a facility for

lubrication of the drive gears.

2. After extensive use, apply a shot

of general purpose grease using a

suitable grease gun.

SERVICE AND REPAIR

If the tool runs erratically or becomes

inefficient although the air supply is in

good order, it may be necessary to dismantle the tool. Such servicing and

repair work should be carried out by qualified service technicians.

PERFORMANCE

Please note that factors other than the tool may effect its operation and

efficiency such as reduced compressor output, excessive drain on the airline

moisture or restrictions in the air-line, or the use of connectors of improper size

or poor condition which will reduce air supply.

Grit or gum deposits inside the tool may also reduce its efficiency. This

condition can be corrected by cleaning out the air strainer and flushing out

the tool with gum solvent or oil, or failing this, the motor may require

dismantling.

**Clarke Air Line Oil (part no. 3050825) is available from your CLARKE dealer.

STORAGE

If the tool is to be stored, or is idle for longer than 24 hours, run a few drops of

Clarke air line oil into the air inlet, and run the tool for 5 seconds in order to

lubricate the internal parts.

When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean tool and store in a safe, dry

place.

ACCESSORIES

A wide range of accessories is available including filter/regulators, lubricators,

high-pressure hoses (5 to 50 metres) etc.
