COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS

• Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source.

• Air compressors used with the tool 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 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 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.

• Never exceed the maximum operating pressure for the tool. It is

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.

WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU

ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF

COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY.

BEFORE USE

NOTE: Ensure the compressor is turned off.

1. Remove the blanking plug from the air inlet of the tool.

2. If required, connect an in-line mini oiler to the tool.

• A mini oiler helps to prolong the life of the air tool.

3. 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 air inlet or via the hose

at the nearest connection to the

air supply.

4. Connect a suitable hose to the air

inlet as shown.

5. Connect the other end of the hose

to the compressor.

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).

INSTALLING THE COLLET

1. Select the grinding stone you require.

2. Three collets of different sizes are

provided. Select whichever fits

the shank of the stone you have

chosen.

• The larger collet is probably

already installed in the grinder.

3. 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.

FITTING THE GRINDING STONE

IMPORTANT: Never use chipped or cracked grindstones.

1. Slip the shank of the chosen stone

into the collet and tighten the

screw cap finger tight.

2. Place the smaller of the two

wrenches over the collet seat to

stop the tool from rotating.

3. Use the larger wrench to fully

tighten the collet and grip the

stone in position as shown.

ADJUSTING THE SPEED

1. Set the tool speed by rotating the

control to one of the four settings.

• The graduations on the speed

control indicate the speed

setting when aligned with the

reference mark on the air inlet.

• Speeds available are: 8000,

11500, 17500 or 20000 rpm (+/-

10%).

OPERATING THE DIE GRINDER

1. Use your thumb to slide the

throttle locking lever forward while

squeezing the trigger against the

body of the tool.

2. Do not use excess pressure on the

grinding stone as this will shorten

its life.

3. Release the trigger to stop the

grinder.

• The tool will continue to rotate

for a short time after the trigger has been released.

4. Always ensure the grinder 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 supply hose until the compressor has been shut

down and the compressed air released.

2. Refer to the compressor instruction manual for the procedure to shut down

and release the compressed air.

3. Once the pressure has been released, disconnect the air supply hose from

the tool.

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, ensure the blanking plug is replaced on the airline

connector once the airline is disconnected.
