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 & topped up with oil. Clarke air-line 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 A COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY.

BEFORE USE

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.

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 connector 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.

• PTFE tape may be helpful for

sealing threaded connections.

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).

OPERATION

In order to improve access to the workpiece, the die can be rotated through

360o.

1. To do this, loosen the locknut with

a 22mm spanner and rotate the

die on the punch until it is in the

right position for the job in hand.

2. Hold the die steady with a 15mm

spanner on its flats and retighten

the locknut.

3. Ensure you workpiece is properly

secured and marked out.

4. Connect the nibbler to the airline.

5. Start the nibbler by squeezing the throttle lever.

6. Introduce the sheet metal into the slot in the end of the die. Apply only light

pressure to move the tool in the desired direction through the material.

7. Do not allow the nibbler to run freely for long periods of time as this could

harm the bearings.

NOTE: It is recommended that a whip hose with a swivel (not included)

be used to prevent twisting, kinking and resultant wear to the air

hose.

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 tool.

3. Store the tool safely in its box in a dry, secure environment.

MAINTENANCE

DAILY

1. Before use, drain water from the air-line and compressor.

2. This air tool should be lubricated before use. Turn the tool upside down and

pour 1-2 drops of Clarke air-line oil into the air inlet. This should be carried

out regardless of whether or not an in-line mini oiler is used. If an in-line mini

oiler is not used, this procedure should be repeated after every two hours

of constant use.

CLEANING

1. Keep the tool clean.

2. Deposits in the tool may also reduce efficiency. This can be corrected by

cleaning the air inlet and flushing out the tool with gum solvent oil, or failing

this, the tool should be disassembled, thoroughly cleaned, dried and

reassembled.

3. If the tool becomes inefficient and the air supply is of good quality, it may

be necessary to replace worn or damaged parts. You may prefer to take

the tool to your Clarke dealer if internal maintenance is required.

Your Clarke air tool has been designed to give long and trouble free service. If,

however, having followed the instructions in this booklet carefully, you

encounter problems, take the unit to your local Clarke dealer.

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.

**Clarke Air-lne Oil (part no. 3050825) is available from your Clarke dealer.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE AIR TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE

AIR SUPPLY BEFORE STARTING ANY CLEANING, OR MAINTENANCE

PROCEDURES.

CHANGING THE PUNCH AND DIE

1. Loosen the locknut using a 22mm

spanner and unscrew the die (with

the locknut on it) from the body of

the tool.

2. Place a 9mm spanner onto the

hex section of the die collar as

shown and undo/remove the die

collar and punch.

3. Remove the old punch from the

collar and insert the new one.

4. Screw the collar and punch back

into place and tighten with the

spanner.

5. Slide the die and locknut over the

punch and screw it back into the nibbler until the bottom of the punch is

flush with the bottom of the die. Rotate the die into the best position

required by the workpiece. Hold the die steady with a 15mm spanner on its

flats and re-tighten the locknut.

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 depress the trigger in order to lubricate

the internal parts.

When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean and store in a safe, dry

place.

ACCESSORIES

A wide range of airline accessories is available including filter/regulators,

lubricators, high-pressure hoses (5 to 50 metres) etc.
