Description and Safety
The original language of this manual is English.
Product Safety Information:
Intended Use:
These chisels and needle scalers are driven by
compressed air to remove material.
For additional product safety information refer to Apex
Tool Group, LLC or Apex Tool Group GmbH & Co. OHG
document CE-2017, General Safety Percussion Tools.
WARNING
These chisels or needle scalers must not be modied
in any manner unless approved in writing by Apex Tool
Group, LLC or Apex Tool Group GmbH & Co. OHG. All
safety devices must be properly installed and maintained
in good working order.
Quick Disconnect Coupling
WARNING
When operating percussion tools in explosive or
flammable environments, use only non-sparking chisels
or implements such as those made from beryllium
copper. Also, do not use cupped rivet sets with Cleco
percussion tools to drive nails. Blows not centered on
the nail can cause the nail to ricochet off the work and
strike the user.
Air Line Lubrication:
Use Apex Tool Group, LLC or Apex Tool Group GmbH
& Co. OHG’s lightweight air tool oil 500021 (available
in quantities shown in the following chart) or an SAE-5
lightweight spindle oil.
Air Supply Line:
ParameterDescription
Air Hose
Performance rated at: 90 psi (620 kPa)
Attachment of a quick disconnect compressed air
coupling directly to the inlet threads of a percussion tool
can cause wear and failure of the coupling. Failure of
the coupling may cause severe injury from the air hose
end violently whipping about. If a quick disconnect air
coupling is used, separate the coupling from the tool
with a whip hose (1.5 feet minimum length).
Chisel/Scaler Care and Use
WARNING
Cracked chisels or implements are hazardous. Visually
inspect the chisel or implement for cracks before using.
Have all chisels magnifluxed before re-sharpening.
Destroy and discard any chisel or implement that shows
a crack or damage.
Correct selection of the chisel or other implement is
important. Dull edges on the chisel or moil point cause
the energy of the percussion blow to be absorbed by the
tool, instead of the work piece, increasing the chance of
chisel breakage.
Compressed air
class 2.4.3
Service and Repair:
Always disconnect the air supply before changing the
chisel or implement or performing any service on the
tool.
Tool service and repair should be performed by an
authorized Apex Tool Group, LLC or Apex Tool Group
GmbH & Co. OHG Center. Refer to the last page of this
manual for locations.
Disposal:
Observe local disposal guidelines for all
components of this tool and its packaging.

Chisel Removal:
WARNING
Turn off the air supply and disconnect the air hose from
the tool before removing any chisel or implement.
Use only notched B1-C approved safety retainer chisels
with B1-C scalers and notched BR-C approved safety
retainer chisels with BR-C scalers. Refer to Illustration
“F” for a list of approved chisels.
B1-C Series Models:
Push the tang on the driver retainer (832956), away from
the barrel to remove the chisel (see illustration below).
Disassembly and Assembly:
Use Apex Tool Group, LLC or Apex Tool Group GmbH
& Co. OHG’s lightweight air tool oil 500021 (available
in quantities shown in the following chart) or an SAE-5
lightweight spindle oil.
B1-C-BV Pistol Grip Models:
Should if be necessary to replace the throttle valve
casing (832054), thread a 7/16-20 bolt into the casing
and using a suitable puller, remove it from the handle.
Refer to Illustration “C”.
Inspect Parts:
Clean and inspect all parts for excessive wear or
damage and replace as necessary with genuine Cleco
replacement parts. Replace all o-rings and seals
whenever the tool is disassembled.
Common issues to look for:
• Worn out retainer buffer (833527), used in the B1
series tools. This can be caused by operating the
tool without any resistance against the chisel.
• Excessive wear in the tool nose.
• Worn or scored plunger (832373 or 832944) usually
caused by foreign particles entering the tool.
• Worn or scored bore in the barrel sleeve (832700 or
832943) caused by foreign particles entering the tool.
BR-C Series Models:
Rotate the driver retainer (869314) 90° or 1/4 turn in
either direction to remove the chisel (see illustration
below). Rotate the driver retainer back to its in-line
position with the barrel after chisel replacement.
Handle Assembly:
If the handle does not position as desired in relationship
to the chisel position, one or more handle positioning
shims (832947) may be placed between the valve
assembly and the handle. Refer to Illustrations “A”, “B”,
and “C”.
Use one shim for about every 30° desired. Always tighten
the handle into the barrel until the valve assembly is tight
against the barrel sleeve and then tighten the handle
lock ring (832882).
After the tool is assembled, pour a few drops of 10W
machine oil into the inlet bushing to ensure immediate
lubrication of the tool components.
B1-C-PT Series Throttle Valve Adjustment:
To adjust the throttle valve for the desired power, loosen
the throttle valve casing lock nut (843645) and screw the
controlling valve handle (832610) to a position so that
the desired blow is delivered when the handle is fully
compressed. Tighten the throttle valve casing lock nut to
secure the controlling valve handle in position. Refer to
Illustration “A”.
