ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
This battery charger is provided with a 13 amp, 230 volt (50Hz), BS 1363 plug,
for connection to a standard, domestic electrical supply. Should the plug
need changing at any time, ensure that a plug of identical specification is
used.

If this appliance is fitted with a plug which is moulded on to the electric cable
(i.e. non-rewireable) please note:
1. The plug must be thrown away if it is cut from the electric cable. There is a
danger of electric shock if it is subsequently inserted into a socket outlet.
2. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
3. Should you wish to replace the fuse cover, ensure that the correct
replacement is used (as indicated by marking or colour code).
4. Replacement fuse covers can be obtained from your local Clarke dealer

BATTERY CHARGING
1. The new battery pack will require charging
before use.
2. Squeeze the battery release buttons on
either side of the battery pack and pull
gently down to disengage the battery pack
from the machine body as in Fig 1.
3. Insert the battery pack into the battery
charger, as shown in Fig 2, noting that it will
only fit one way.
4. Plug the charger into a 230v (mains) power
supply and switch ON.
• The green POWER ON light will illuminate
to show the unit is connected to the
mains supply. The RED charging light will
start flashing and charging will begin.
• If charging does not take place, ensure
all connections are clean and free of
grease etc.

• If the red charging light will not stay on
for more than a few moments, the
battery pack is likely to be defective
and it must be replaced with a new
one.
• When charging is complete (typically
after about 1/2 hour), the RED
charging light stops flashing and
remains ON. The battery pack can be
considered charged and be removed,
whereupon the red light will go out. The
charging time will be dependant upon
the initial state of the batteries.
• During the charging cycle the red light
should be flashing approximately once
per second. If it flashes at a significantly
faster rate, this indicates the battery
temperature is too high. If this occurs,
the battery should be removed, allowed
FIG 2
to cool down and then re-inserted.
The above can occur either because a fully charged battery has
been inserted too quickly after being recharged, or if the battery
has become warm during use. (This is normal when the impact
wrench is used for an extended period and does not indicate a
fault condition.
• When charging a new battery pack, it may not initially accept full
charge. This is common & does not indicate a fault. It can be
recharged fully after it has been discharged a couple of times.
5. After charging, switch off and unplug the charger from the power supply.
6. Remove the battery pack from the charger and slide it back into the
machine until it clips into place. The battery pack should slide in easily. If
the battery pack is not to be fitted immediately, ensure that the metal
contacts are protected so as to avoid the possibility of a short circuit
which would cause damage.
For maximum battery life, we recommend that you maintain the battery in a
fully charged state at all times.
Remember to avoid extremes of heat or cold when charging. Avoid temperatures outside the range of Minimum 4°C /Maximum 40°C. Avoid placing
batteries in direct strong sunlight or any other heat source.
NOTE:
Ni-Cad batteries should be given a full charge when first supplied new.
Maximum battery performance will be achieved after approximately 5
complete charge/discharge cycles.

The battery should be fully discharged before recharging in order to achieve
its optimum performance.
charge has been used will, in effect, reduce its capacity.
Nickel cadmium batteries will slowly lose their power whilst in storage. If they
become fully discharged, no not leave the batteries in this state for any
length of time.

INSTALLING & REMOVING THE BIT
1. Pull the sleeve away from the
machine body and insert the bit into
the sleeve as far as it will go. Release
the sleeve to secure the bit in place
as shown in Fig 3.
2. To remove the bit, pull the sleeve and
draw the bit out.
• If the bit is not inserted deep enough
into the sleeve, the sleeve will not
spring back and the bit will not be
secured.

machine.
2. Increase the speed of the machine by
increasing pressure on the trigger.
3. Release the trigger to stop.
4. To run the impact screwdriver in reverse,
push the switch bar through the drive
unit as shown in Fig 4. The direction of
rotation is shown on the end face of the
bar.
• The 3-position switch bar controls
forward or reverse direction of rotation.
Select the appropriate setting ONLY
when the chuck is STATIONARY. Do not
move the switch-bar when the chuck is
moving. When the switch-bar is in the
central position the trigger is locked.
5. Always check the direction of rotation
before operation.

6. Hold the machine firmly and place the point of the screwdriver bit in the
screw head. Apply sufficient pressure that the bit will not slip off the screw
and start the machine.
Note: Take care to use the correct bit for the head of screw that you wish to
use. Take care to point the machine straight at the screw.
7. Before starting work, always perform a test operation to determine the
appropriate tightening effort for the screw in whatever material is being
used.
8. Turn off the machine as soon as the impact sound is heard, taking care
not to damage the screw. Extra care is needed with small screws.
Note: As the battery becomes discharged, the power available will drop.
Operating the machine at low speed will cause a reduction in torque.
9. After use, recharge the battery cartridge as shown on pages 7-8. Avoid
leaving your batteries in a discharged state.
MAINTENANCE
Keep the unit clean by wiping with a dry cloth. DO NOT use solvents as a
cleaning agent.
Keep the battery pack well charged at all times.
