chipping hammer.
Chisel force may be adjusted by
turning the Speed controller/air
regulator located at the base of the
handle grip.
• Turn anticlockwise to increase
force.
• Turn clockwise to reducethe
force.
USING THE CHIPPING HAMMER
1. Hold the tool with one hand
around the handle and one hand
around the barrel, then bring the
tool towards the work at an angle
of approximately 60-70 degrees.
2. Pull the trigger with the chisel in
light contact with the work.
3. Move slowly across the work
surface and proceed to remove
scale, rust or other contaminants, a light force only should be required.
4. Release the trigger to stop operation, whilst maintaining contact with the
work, noting that the tool may impact briefly after the trigger is released.
NOTE: The Retaining Spring has a life expectancy, depending upon the
intensity of usage. It is strongly recommended that you obtain one
or two spare springs, for use in the event of failure occurring
during use. These are available from the Clarke Spares
department.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE AIR
SUPPLY BEFORE STARTING ANY CLEANING, OR MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURES.
DAILY
• Drain water from air tank, air line and compressor.
• Pour a few drops of CLARKE Air Line Oil, into the air inlet. This should
be carried out regardless of whether or not the inline mini oiler is
used. If the inline mini oiler is not used, this procedure should be
repeated after every two to three hours of use.
NOTE: **Clarke Air Line Oil (part no. 3050825) is available from your
CLARKE dealer.
WEEKLY
• Remove the grub screw from the oil port on the side of the impact
wrench and insert a few drops of oil.
CLEANING
• Keep the body of the tool clean and free from debris, grit or gum
deposits in the tool which may reduce efficiency.
SERVICE AND REPAIR
All servicing and repair must be carried out by qualified service technicians.
NOTE: 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 line, or
the use of connectors of improper size or poor condition which will
reduce air supply.
Please note that the details and specifications contained herein, are correct at

Employers are advised to refer to the HSE publication “Guide for Employers”.
All hand held power tools vibrate to some extent, and this vibration is
transmitted to the operator via the handle, or hand used to steady the tool.
Vibration from about 2 to 1500 hertz is potentially damaging and is most
hazardous in the range from about 5 to 20 hertz.
Operators who are regularly exposed to vibration may suffer from Hand Arm
Vibration Syndrome (HAVS), which includes ‘dead hand’, ‘dead finger’, and
‘white finger’. These are painful conditions and are widespread in industries
where vibrating tools are used.
The health risk depends upon the vibration level and the length of time of
exposure to it……in effect, a daily vibration dose.
Tools are tested using specialised equipment, to approximate the vibration
level generated under normal, acceptable operating conditions for the tool in
question. For example, a grinder used at 45° on mild steel plate, or a sander on
soft wood in a horizontal plane etc.
These tests produce a value ‘a’, expressed in metres per second per second,
which represents the average vibration level of all tests taken, in three axes
where necessary, and a second figure ‘K’, which represents the uncertainty
factor, i.e. a value in excess of ‘a’, to which the tool could vibrate under
normal conditions. These values appear in “Specifications - General” on
page 26.
‘a’ values in excess of 2.5 m/s
prolonged periods. A tool with a vibration value of 2.8 m/s
to 8 hours (cumulative) per day, whereas a tool with a value of 11.2 m/s
be used for ½ hour per day only.
The graph on the right shows the
vibration value against the maximum
time the respective tool may be
used, per day.
The uncertainty factor should also be
taken into account when assessing a
risk. The two figures ‘a’ and ‘K’ may
be added together and the resultant
value used to assess the risk.
It should be noted that if a tool is
used under abnormal, or unusual
conditions, then the vibration level
could possibly increase significantly. Users must always take this into account
and make their own risk assessment, using the graph above as a reference.
Some tools with a high vibration value, such as impact wrenches, are
generally used for a few seconds at a time, therefore the cumulative time
may only be in the order of a few minutes per day. Nevertheless, the
cumulative effect, particularly when added to that of other hand held power
tools that may be used, must always be taken into account when the total
daily dose rate is determined.
