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).

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.

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

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.

SETTING THE SPEED

1. Adjust the tool speed by setting

the air regulator on top of the tool

body using a suitable screwdriver.

OPERATING THE TOOL

1. Use your thumb to slide the

throttle locking lever forward while

squeezing the trigger against the

body of the tool.

2. Do not use excess pressure on the

grinding stone as this will shorten

its life.

3. Release the trigger to stop the

tool.

• The tool will continue to rotate

very briefly after the trigger has been released.

4. Always ensure the tool has stopped before putting it down.

GRINDING TIPS

• The key to efficient grinding is to control the pressure and surface

contact between the grinding tool and the workpiece.

• Allow the tool to reach full speed before grinding.

• Avoid overloading the die grinder. If it becomes hot during use, rest

for a few minutes while it cools down.

DISCONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY

1. Do not disconnect the air supply hose until the compressor has been shut

down and the compressed air released.

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

and release the compressed air.

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

the tool.

MAINTENANCE

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.

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

DAILY

1. Before use, drain water from the air tank, air line and compressor.

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 in-

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

two to three hours of use.

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

AIR SUPPLY BEFORE STARTING ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE

PROCEDURES.
