THE COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY
AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU
ARE 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 this air 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 air 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 airline 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 airline layout is shown above. If an automatic in-line filter/regulator is
used, it will keep the air 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.
The minimum hose diameter should be 8mm ID and fittings should have the
same internal dimensions.
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.

BEFORE USE
NOTE: Ensure the compressor is turned off.
1. Remove the plastic blanking plug from the air inlet connection.
2. Pour 2-3 drops of CLARKE airline oil into the inlet port. This should be done
regardless of whether or not a lubricated air supply is to be used.
3. If the air supply is unlubricated, an in-line mini oiler be added to the air tool.
• A mini oiler helps to prolong the life of any air tool.
4. 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 airline connector or via the hose
at the nearest connection to the air supply.
5. Connect a suitable hose as shown
or use the inlet adaptor supplied to
connect directly to the hose.
6. Connect the other end of the hose
to the compressor.
7. Turn on the air supply and check
for air leaks. Rectify any found
before proceeding.
• PTFE tape may be useful for
sealing threaded connections.
8. If using a mini oiler, place a sheet of paper next the exhaust port and hold
the throttle open for approximately 30 seconds. The oil volume is correctly
set when a light stain of oil can be seen on the paper. Excessive oil should
be avoided.
Your impact wrench is now ready for use.
You can fit a whip hose with a quick fit coupling if required, available from
your CLARKE dealer.

OPERATION
FITTING AN IMPACT SOCKET
WARNING: NEVER USE STANDARD SOCKETS. THESE MAY SHATTER WITH
SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. ONLY USE IMPACT SOCKETS DESIGNED FOR
USE WITH IMPACT TOOLS.
1. Select the impact socket you
require, which must be in good
condition and fit the tool exactly.
2. Push the socket onto the square
drive shaft.
Only use the correct impact sockets.
SETTING THE DIRECTION AND SPEED
1. For normal tightening, the wrench
should be operated in the forward
(F) direction.
2. For loosening, the wrench should
be operated in the reverse (R)
direction.
3. To adjust the forward speed, turn
the switch until the desired output
is achieved. A click will be heard
at each of three positions.
• Setting 1 is the least amount of power while setting 3 is the most
powerful.
• The wrench operates at maximum power in reverse. This setting is for
releasing threaded fasteners.
NOTE: Where the torque setting is critical, the final tightening must be by
hand using a calibrated torque wrench.
WARNING: WAIT UNTIL THE WRENCH HAS STOPPED ROTATING BEFORE
OPERATING THE FORWARD/REVERSE SWITCH.

OPERATING THE IMPACT WRENCH
1. Place the socket over the nut/bolt to be tightened or loosened.
2. Squeeze the trigger to start and release the trigger switch to stop the
wrench.
• The square drive will continue to rotate very briefly after the trigger
has been released.
LOOSENING A WHEEL NUT/BOLT
1. Remove any wheel trim, before selecting the appropriate socket and
placing firmly on the square drive of the impact wrench.
2. With the switch in the REVERSE running position, and holding the impact
wrench firmly in BOTH HANDS, squeeze the trigger. The nut/bolt will be
impacted repeatedly until it is loosened. IMPORTANT! Release the trigger as
soon as the nut/bolt begins to loosen.
3. Jack up the vehicle according to the vehicle handbook so that the wheel
is clear of the ground, then proceed to fully undo the wheel nuts/bolts.
4. Soak rusted nuts/bolts in penetrating oil and break any rust seal before
twisting off with the wrench.
WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE CORRECT SOCKET IS BEING USED FOR THE
NUTS ON YOUR PARTICULAR VEHICLE. AN INCORRECT SOCKET SIZE IS
LIKELY TO DAMAGE THE HEADS OF THE NUTS/BOLTS.
TIGHTENING A NUT/BOLT
1. Start the nut/bolt by hand, ensuring it is not cross threaded, then with the
appropriate socket installed on the impact wrench, place it on the nut/
bolt.
2. With the switch in the clockwise (FORWARD) running position, and holding
the wrench firmly in BOTH HANDS, squeeze the trigger.
3. Run each nut/bolt up in turn until it is ‘nipped’ up only - do not tighten.
When all nuts/bolts are nipped up, tighten progressively by pulling the
trigger fully and allowing the action to operate briefly to prevent
overtightening.
4. ALWAYS finish tightening with a torque wrench. The weight of the vehicle
will need to be placed on the wheel to prevent it from rotating while the
nuts/bolts are tightened. Ensure the final torque applied to the nuts/bolts
meets the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations.

DISCONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY
1. Shut down the compressor.
2. Squeeze the trigger of the impact wrench and operate until all the
compressed air is discharged.
3. Once the pressure has been released, disconnect the air supply hose.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE WRENCH IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE
AIR SUPPLY BEFORE STARTING ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURES.
1. Routinely drain water from the airline filter and compressor.
2. If no airline lubricator or mini oiler is used, ensure that oil is applied to the
tool on a daily basis through the air inlet connection. Run a few drops of oil
through the tool before use. It may be entered into the air inlet, (ensuring
the screen is clear), or into the hose at the nearest connection to the air
supply.
3. This procedure should be repeated after every two to three hours of use or
at the start of the working day.
4. Keep the body of the tool clean and free from debris.
WEEKLY
1. Check the air inlet screen filter for
blockage and clean if necessary.
CLEANING & OVERHAUL
1. Grit or gum deposits in the tool
may reduce efficiency.
2. After extensive use, remove the
inlet screen filter and flush out the
mechanism with gum solvent oil or
an equal mixture of CLARKE airline oil and paraffin. Allow to dry before use.
3. If the tool still runs erratically or becomes inefficient, and the air supply is of
good quality, it may be necessary to dismantle the air motor and replace
worn or damaged parts. You may prefer to take the tool to your CLARKE
dealer if internal maintenance is required.
10
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com
4. The air tool may be dismantled by unfastening the bolts and removing the
rear cover prior to replacing any worn or damaged parts.
5. While in a dismantled state, it may be desirable to grease the hammer
mechanism and apply a small amount of good quality bearing grease.
• This may be better left to your CLARKE dealer.
PERFORMANCE
Please note that outside factors may affect the operation and efficiency of
any air tool.
These include reduced compressor output, excessive drain on the airline,
moisture ingress, restrictions in the air-line such as the use of connectors of
incorrect size or poor condition which will reduce the air supply.
