AIR SUPPLY
WARNING!
Compressed air can be dangerous. Ensure
that you are thoroughly familiar with all
precautions relating to the use of
compressors and compressed air supply.
Tools of this type, operate on a wide range of air pressures. It is recommended that air
pressure be set to between 50 and 1l0psi. at the tool when running.
Higher pressure and unclean air will shorten the tools’ life because of faster wear, and could
be a safety hazard.
Water in the air line will cause damage to the tool, ensure it is properly maintained at all
times.
The recommended procedure to connect this tool to an air supply, is shown on page10.
The air inlet used for connecting air supply, has a standard 1/4” BSP thread.
Line pressure, or hose ID., should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses
(over 10M). Minimum hose dia. should be 6mm (1/4”) ID., and fittings should have the same
inside dimensions.
ASSEMBLY and OPERATION
Ensure the Stapler is not loaded, then, with the air supply turned OFF, connect the air line to
the 1/4” BSP connector. (A Whip Hose with Quick Fit coupling is available from your Clarke
dealer)
Both models are provided with a trigger safety catch,
shown arrowed in figs 1A and 1B. Set these so that the
trigger is prevented from being operated accidentally.
With your fingers well away from the trigger, and the tool
pointed away from you and anyone in the vicinity, remove
the magazine and load with appropriate staples as
described under ‘Loading the Staple Gun’ on page 6.
Ensure the magazine is firmly back in place before
proceeding
Turn ON the air supply, and check for air leaks. If any are
apparent, rectify before proceeding. Ensure the operating
pressure is set to between 3.5 -7.5 bar (50 - 110psi,
depending upon the size of staple used and type of
material being worked.
NOTE: The harder the material, and bigger the staple, the higher the
pressure.
Hold the tool so that it is at right angles to the work. Lower
it so that the nose contacts the work surface, and with a
slight downwards pressure, pull the trigger to drive in the
staple.

MAINTENANCE
Daily before use.
1. Drain water from compressor air tank, and air line.
2. Check and clean, if necessary, the air inlet gauze filter.
3. A bottle of CLARKE Air Line Oil** is supplied with the kit. Unscrew the cap and
withdraw the nozzle, which is reversed within the neck of the bottle.
Screw the cap and nozzle correctly into place and squirt a few drops of oil
(approx. 3cc), into the air inlet.
This should be carried out regardless of whether or not an air line lubricator is
used.
During Use.
For lubricating the internal components when in operation, an air line lubricator
should be used, with Clarke Air Line Oil**, adjusted to 2 drops per minute.
If an Air line lubricator is NOT used, this procedure should be repeated after every
two to three hours of use.
Storage.
If the Staple Gun 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 before storing.
Notes
Be aware 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.
Grit or gum deposits in the tool may also reduce efficiency. This condition can be
corrected by cleaning the air strainer and flushing out the tool with gum solvent
oil, or failing this, the tool should be disassembled, thoroughly cleaned, dried and
reassembled.
If the tool runs erratically or becomes inefficient, and the air supply is sound,
dismantle the piston assembly and replace worn or damaged parts, or take the
tool to your CLARKE dealer.
**Clarke Air Line Oil is available from your CLARKE dealer part no. 3050825.
IMPORTANT:
The use of parts other than CLARKE replacement parts may result in safely
hazards, decreased tool performance and will invalidate your warranty.

HAND-ARM VIBRATION
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. V ibration from about 2 to 1500 herz is potentially
damaging and is most hazardous in the range from about 5 to 20 herz.
Operators who are regularly exposed to vibration may suffer from Hand Arm V ibration 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 the declaration on page 7.
You will note that a third value is given in the specification - the highest measured reading in a
single plane. This is the maximum level of vibration measured during testing in one of the axes,
and this should also be taken into account when making a risk assessment.
‘a’ values in excess of 2.5 m/s2 are considered hazardous when used for prolonged periods. A
tool with a vibration value of 2.8 m/s2 may be used for up to 8 hours (cumulative) per day,
whereas a tool with a value of 11.2 m/s2 may be used for ½ hour per day only .
The graph below 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 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.
