Please note that the details and specifications contained herein are correct at the time
of going to print. However CLARKE International reserve the right to change
specifications at any time without prior notice.
14. DO NOT use the air tool if it is defective or operating abnormally.
15. DO NOT damage the air tool by applying excessive force.
16. ALWAYS maintain the air tool with care. Keep it clean for the best and
safest performance.
17. Quick change couplings should not be located at the air tool. They add
weight and could fail due to vibration.
18. DO NOT force or misuse the air tool. It will do a better and safer job at the
rate for which it was designed.
19. These air tools vibrates with use. Vibration may be harmful to your hands or
arms. Stop using the air tool if discomfort, a tingling feeling or pain occurs.
Seek medical advice before resuming use.
20. DO NOT carry the air tool by the air supply hose.
21. DO NOT carry the air tool with your finger on the trigger.
22. When not in use, disconnect the air tool from the air supply and store in a
dry place out of the reach of children.

WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU
ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF
COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY.
A typical air line layout is shown below. If an automatic in-line filter/regulator is
used it will keep the 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.
Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source.
Air compressors used with the air tool must comply with the appropriate
European Community Safety Directives.
The air hose should be rated at least 150% of the maximum operating pressure
of the tool.
A build-up of moisture or oil in the air compressor will accelerate wear and
corrosion in the 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 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 air tool.
Never exceed the maximum operating pressure for the air tool. It is
recommended that air pressure to the air tool does not exceed 90 psi at the
air tool when running. Higher pressures and unclean air will shorten the life of
the air tool due to faster wear and is a possible safety hazard.
WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU
ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF AIR
COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY.
CONNECTING THE AIRLINE
1. Remove the plastic blanking plug from the air inlet connection.
2. Pour 2-3 drops of airline oil into the oil filling 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. 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 snap connector 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.
9. Your air tool is now ready for use.
FITTING THE ATTACHMENTS
This 3-in-1 tool combi tool features an interchangeable tool head with quickrelease coupling. Choose your tool attachment.
Select the required tool head assembly (A, B, or C on page 6) and offer to the
main housing. Align the hexagonal quick-connection adapter (5) to the inner
hexagonal socket and insert. Pull the quick release locking collar backward
with one hand.
Release the quick release collar to retain the tool head assembly (A, B, or C).
Check that the tool head assembly is securely locked in place
.
THE DIE GRINDERS
FITTING THE GRINDING STONE
IMPORTANT: Never use chipped or cracked grindstones.
1. Slip the shank of the chosen
grinding stone into the collet and
tighten the screw cap finger tight.
2. Place the smaller of the two
wrenches (11mm) over the collet
seat to stop the tool from rotating.
3. Use the larger wrench (17mm) to
fully tighten the collet and grip the
stone in position as shown.
4. If another collet is to be used,
undo the screw cap completely and pull out the collet from the collet seat.
Replace it with the new collet and screw the cap loosely back on.
3. Squeeze the trigger against the
body of the air tool to start.
4. Release the trigger to stop the tool.
5. Always ensure the air tool has
stopped before putting it down.
6. When releasing very tight
fastenings initially break loose by
hand. Squeeze the trigger and the
air tool will complete the job.
7. If necessary, use penetrating oil to assist in freeing off rusted fasteners.
8. When assembling, start turning fasteners by hand, then set the rotation
forward or reverse. Apply the air tool gently and squeeze the trigger to
tighten with power.
9. Final tightening should be completed by hand, using a torque wrench if
needed.
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 the tools and store in a
safe, dry place. When storing, replace the blanking plug to the air inlet once
the airline is disconnected.
Avoid storing air tool s where the temperature is below 0oC.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE AIR TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE
AIR SUPPLY BEFORE STARTING ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE.
DAILY
1. Before use, drain water from the air tank, air line and compressor.
2. If no airline lubricator or mini oiler is used, ensure that oil is applied to the air
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 strainer 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 air tool clean and free from debris.
WEEKLY
1. Check the air inlet screen filter for
blockage and clean if necessary.
CLEANING
1. Grit or gum deposits inside the air
tool may also reduce its
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 air-line oil and paraffin. Allow to dry before
use.
SERVICE AND REPAIR
1. If the tool runs erratically or becomes inefficient although the air supply is in
good order, it may be necessary to dismantle the air motor and replace
any worn or damaged parts. Such servicing and repair work should be
carried out by a qualified service technician.
The right angle drive is fitted with a
grease nipple to provide a facility for
lubrication of the drive gears.
1. After extensive use, apply a shot
of general purpose grease using a
suitable grease gun.
PERFORMANCE
Please note that outside factors may
affect the operation and efficiency
of the 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.
Your air tool has been designed to give long & trouble free service. If, however,
having followed the instructions in this booklet carefully, you encounter
problems, take the unit to your local CLARKE dealer.
