COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS

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

• Air compressors used with the tool 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 tool. 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.

• 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.

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

BEFORE USE

NOTE: Ensure the compressor is turned off.

1. Remove the blanking plug from the inlet connection of the tool.

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

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

3. 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 or via the hose

at the nearest connection to the

air supply.

4. Connect a suitable hose to the air

inlet as shown.

5. Connect the other end of the hose

to the compressor.

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).

FITTING THE CUTTING DISC TO THE CUT-OFF TOOL

1. Ensure the disc being fitted has a speed rating greater than 20,000 rpm

which is the maximum speed of the tool.

2. Install the disc and retaining

washer using the spanner and hex

key supplied.

NOTE: When fitting the cutting disc,

always ensure that the side

of the disc with the metal

centre faces away from the

tool, so as to touch the

retaining washer.

WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU

ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF AIR

COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLIES.

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

IMPORTANT: Use the correct disc. Using an incorrect disc can cause serious

injury.The use of parts other than CLARKE replacement parts may result in

safety hazards, decreased tool performance and may invalidate your

warranty.

Replacement cutting discs are available from your Clarke dealer. (Part

number 3110731).

INSTALLING THE COLLET TO THE DIE GRINDER

1. Select the grinding stone you require.

2. Two collets of different sizes are

provided. Select whichever fits

the shank of the stone you have

chosen.

• The larger collet is probably

already installed in the grinder.

3. If the other collet is to be used,

undo the screw cap completely

and pull out the collet from the

collet seat. Replace it with the

new collet and screw the cap loosely back on.

FITTING THE GRINDING STONE INTO THE DIE GRINDER

IMPORTANT: Never use chipped or cracked grindstones. Never use

grindstones not rated to operate at a speed equal to, or greater than, the

full operating speed of the air tool.

1. Slip the shank of the chosen stone

into the collet and tighten the

screw cap finger tight.

2. Place the smaller of the two

wrenches over the collet seat to

stop the tool from rotating.

3. Use the larger wrench to fully

tighten the collet and grip the

stone in position as shown.
