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 the impact wrench 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 impact wrench. 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 must be rated at least 150% of the maximum
operating pressure of the tool.
• A typical air line layout is shown above. 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.
• The minimum hose diameter should be 5/16”(8mm) ID and fittings
• Never exceed the maximum operating pressure for the tool. It is
Oil Fill Screw
Mini Oiler
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
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.
NOTE: Ensure the compressor is turned off.
1. If required, connect an in-line mini
oiler to the tool.
• A mini oiler helps to prolong the
life of the air tool. Remove the
oil fill screw from the side of the
mini oiler and fill with Air-line Oil
available from your CLARKE
dealer. Replace the screw
before using the tool.
2. 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 inlet strainer or via the hose at the nearest connection to the air supply.
3. Connect a suitable hose as shown.
4. Connect the other end of the hose to the compressor.
5. Turn on the air supply and check for air leaks. Rectify any found before
proceeding
6. Your air tool is now ready for use.
You can fit a whip hose with a quick fit coupling if required (available from
your Clarke dealer.)
4. To change the direction of rotation move the lever on the left side of the
drill body from F to R.
5. Always ensure the drill has stopped before putting it down.
DISCONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY
Do not disconnect the air supply hose until the compressor has been shut
down and the compressed air released.
1. Refer to the compressor instruction manual for the procedure to shut down
and release the compressed air.
2. Once the pressure has been released, disconnect the air supply hose from
the air drill.
Store the tool safely in its box in a dry, secure environment.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE IMPACT WRENCH IS DISCONNECTED
FROM THE AIR SUPPLY BEFORE STARTING ANY CLEANING, OR
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES.
DAILY
• Before use, drain water from the air tank, air line and compressor.
• Pour a few drops of CLARKE airline oil, into the air inlet. This should be
carried out regardless of whether or not an in-line mini oiler is used. If
an inline mini oiler is not used, this procedure should be repeated
after every two to three hours of use.
WEEKLY
• Check the air inlet screen filter
for blockage and clean if
necessary.
CLEANING
• Keep the body of the impact
wrench clean and free from
debris. Grit or gum deposits in
the tool may reduce efficiency.
If the tool runs erratically or becomes inefficient although the air supply is in
good order, it may be necessary to dismantle the tool. Such servicing and
repair work should be carried out by qualified service technicians.
PERFORMANCE
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 air-line, or the use of connectors of improper size
or poor condition which will reduce air supply.
Grit or gum deposits inside the tool may also reduce its efficiency. This
condition can be corrected by cleaning out the air strainer and flushing out
the tool with gum solvent or oil, or failing this, the motor may require
dismantling.
**Clarke Air Line Oil (part no. 3050825) is available from your CLARKE dealer .
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.
