COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS

WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF COMPRESSORS AND A COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY.
A typical air line layout is shown below. 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 5/16”(8mm) ID and fittings should have the same internal dimensions.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected]
Page 6
Never exceed the maximum operating pressure for the tool. It is recommended that air pressure does not exceed 90 psi at the tool when running. Higher pressures and unclean air will shorten the life of any air tool due to faster wear and is a possible safety hazard.
Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source.
Air compressors used 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 tools used. 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 line 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 drill.

BEFORE USE

WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF AIR COMPRESSORS AND A COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY.
When opening the carton, check that all the items are present. Any damage or deficiency should be reported to your CLARKE dealer immediately.
1. Remove the plastic blanking plug from the air inlet connection.
2. Pour 2-3 drops of CLARKE airline oil into the air inlet port. This should be done regardless of whether or not a lubricated air supply is to be used.
3. If required, connect an in-line mini oiler to the tool.
• A mini oiler helps to prolong the
life of any air tool.
4. Connect a suitable hose as shown or use the inlet connector supplied to connect directly to the hose.
5. Connect the other end of the hose to the compressor.
• PTFE tape may be useful for sealing threaded connections.
6. Turn on the air supply and check for air leaks. Rectify any found before proceeding.
7. If using a mini oiler, place a sheet of paper next the exhaust port and squeeze the trigger 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 drill is now ready for use.

1. Open the chuck jaws by gripping the chuck key in one of the holes in the chuck and turning it as shown.
2. Make sure that the head of the chuck key is located on the barrel of the chuck.
3. Turn the chuck key until the chuck jaws are open sufficiently to accept the drill bit.
4. Insert the drill bit in the jaws of the chuck as far as it will go without gripping the cutting part of the bit.
5. Close the chuck jaws and tighten to grip the drill bit by turning the chuck key as shown.
6. Make sure that the chuck jaws are fully closed and that the drill bit is held firmly.
Your drill is now ready for use.

OPERATING THE DRILL

1. Slide the throttle locking lever forward while squeezing the trigger against the body of the tool.
2. Do not use excess pressure on the drill bit as this will shorten its life.
3. Release the trigger to stop the drill.
• The drill will continue to rotate
briefly after the trigger has been released.
4. Always ensure the drill has stopped before putting it down.

SETTING THE EXHAUST DEFLECTOR

The direction of the exhaust air leaving the tool can be adjusted by rotating the exhaust deflector.
Twist the exhaust deflector sleeve to direct the air as required to deflect air away from the workpiece or operator.

DISCONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY

1. Do not disconnect the air hose until the supply is isolated at a shut-off valve.
2. Once the pressure has been isolated, disconnect the air supply hose from the air tool.
3. Shut down the compressor at the end of the work session.

STORAGE

If the tool is to be stored, or is idle for longer than 24 hours, run a few drops of CLARKE air line oil into the air inlet, and run the tool for 5 seconds in order to lubricate the internal parts.
When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean tool and store in a safe, dry place. When storing, replace the blanking plug to the air inlet once the airline is disconnected.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE DRILL IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE AIR SUPPLY BEFORE PERFORMING ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE.
Please note that factors other than the drills condition may effect its operation and efficiency, such as reduced compressor output, excessive drain on the airline, moisture or restrictions in the air-line, or the use of connectors of improper size or poor condition which will reduce air supply.

DAILY

1. Before use, drain water from the air-line and compressor.
2. Lubricate the drill daily for optimum performance. Use CLARKE high quality airline oil either via a lubricator in the air supply system or by placing a few drops into the air inlet immediately before use. This should be carried out regardless of whether or not an in-line lubricator is used.

CLEANING & OVERHAUL

1. Keep the drill clean and free from debris.
2. If the drill becomes sluggish and the air supply is of good quality, it may be necessary to replace worn or damaged parts.
3. Grit or gum deposits in the mechanism may eventually reduce efficiency. This condition can be corrected by cleaning the air inlet filter and flushing out the drill with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE No10 oil and paraffin.
4. Failing this, the drill should be disassembled, thoroughly cleaned, dried and reassembled. You may prefer to take the drill to your CLARKE dealer if internal maintenance is required.
