SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

AIR SUPPLY

WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU

ARE THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE

USE OF COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY.

The recommended

procedure to connect this

tool to an air supply, is

shown on the right.

We recommend that an

automatic in-line filter-

regulator-lubricator is used.

• It will keep the tool in

good condition. The in-line

lubricator should be regularly

checked and filled with air tool oil adjusted to 2 drops per minute.

AIR SUPPLY SAFETY

1. Ensure the trigger is in the OFF position before connecting to the air supply.

2. You will require an air pressure of 90 psi, with an air flow of at least 4 CFM.

WARNING! ENSURE THE AIR SUPPLY IS CLEAN AND DOES NOT EXCEED

90PSI WHILE OPERATING THE TOOL. TOO HIGH AN AIR PRESSURE AND

UNCLEAN AIR WILL SHORTEN THE PRODUCT LIFE DUE TO EXCESSIVE

WEAR, AND MAY BE DANGEROUS CAUSING DAMAGE AND/OR

PERSONAL INJURY.

3. Drain the compressor daily. Water in the air line could damage the cut off

tool.

4. Clean air inlet filter weekly.

5. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air

hoses (over 8 metres). The hose diameter should be 3/8" Internal Diameter.

The pressure at the cut off tool should not be over 90 psi.

AIR HOSE

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

pressure of the tool.

BEFORE USE

If an automatic in-line filter-regulator-lubricator is not used, the following

procedure should be carried out before use and after every two to three

hours of use.

1. Drain water from air tank, air line

and compressor.

2. Remove the plug from the rear

of the cut off tool.

3. Check and clean the air inlet

gauze filter.

4. Pour 2-3 drops of Clarke air line

oil (approx. 3 cc), into the air

inlet. This should be carried out

regardless of whether or not an air line lubricator is used.

5. Connect tool to air supply, turn ON the air supply, and check for air leaks.

If any are apparent, rectify before proceeding.

ASSEMBLY

NOTE

Ensure the airline is turned off.

1. Screw in the adaptor supplied.

2. Connect a suitable air hose to

the cut -off tool using a ¼” hose

adapter, (A whip hose with

quick fit coupling is available

from your CLARKE dealer). Then

connect the other end to the

airline.

Your cut-off tool is now ready for use.

•NEVER use cracked or chipped cutting discs.

•NEVER use non-reinforced cutting discs.

•NEVER use the cut off tool without disc guard in place.

•NEVER use the side of the cutting disc for grinding.

•ONLY use for cutting operations.

•ALWAYS ensure the cutting disc has stopped before putting it down.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: ENSURE YOU READ, UNDERSTAND AND APPLY SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.

1. Push safety lever (mounted on

the throttle lever) forward and

depress throttle lever.

•Allow tool to run up to full

speed for a couple of

seconds before offering disc

to work piece.

2. Apply a steady, even pressure.

Do not force. Too much pressure

can cause disc to break and

may even cause injury.

NOTE: DO NOT allow tool to free run for an extended period of time as

this will shorten its life.

CHANGING THE CUTTING DISC

WARNING: ENSURE AIR IS TURNED OFF AND TOOL IS DISCONNECTED

FROM THE AIR SUPPLY BEFORE REPLACING DISC.

1. Ensure the disc being fitted has a speed rating greater than 18,000 RPM.

2. Install disc using spanner and

hex key supplied. Ensure that the

spacer is in place.

IMPORTANT: 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.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: DISCONNECT TOOL FROM AIR SUPPLY BEFORE CHANGING

ACCESSORIES, SERVICING OR PERFORMING MAINTENANCE. REPLACE

AUTHORISED PARTS MAY BE DANGEROUS

1. Lubricate the air tool daily by placing a few drops of air tool oil into the air

inlet.

TROUBLESHOOTING.

Loss of power or erratic action may be due to the following:

a. Excessive usage on the air

line.

b. Moisture or restriction in the air

pipe.

c. Incorrect size or type of hose

connectors.

d. Grit or gum deposits in the

tool may also reduce

performance.

e. Check and clean the gauze

filter (located in the air inlet).

take the tool to your CLARKE dealer.

STORAGE
