OVERVIEW

The CAT32B and CAT 97 Sabre Saws are ideal for use in garages and

workshops for cutting body panels, exhausts, plastics etc.

The only difference between the two sanders is that the external parts on the

CAT97 are highly polished and include rubber grips. Should you require any

component parts, refer to pages 12 and 13 in the manual and contact your

Clarke dealer.

When unpacking the tool, any damage or deficiency should be reported to

your CLARKE dealer immediately. The carton contains:

• Heavy Duty Sabre Saw

• Set of 3 Blades

• Instruction Manual (this document)

Your sabre saw has been designed to give long and trouble free service. If,

however, having followed the instructions in this booklet carefully, you

encounter problems, take the unit to your local CLARKE dealer.

AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

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.

• 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 in the air compressor will accelerate wear and

corrosion in the moving parts. 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), line pressure may

need to be increased.

• Never exceed the maximum operating pressure for the tool.

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

pressure of the tool.

• A pressure of 90psi with a flow of 6 cfm is required. Too high an air pressure

will shorten the life of the tool due to excessive wear.

A typical airline layout is shown. If an automatic in-line filter/regulator/

lubricator unit is used it will keep the tool in good condition, but should be

regularly checked and topped up with oil.

CLARKE airline oil into the air inlet and run the tool for a few seconds to

ensure that the oil has been well distributed throughout the tool.
