for long material. Hold the material securely to prevent it tilting during the

cut. Use clamps or vices to hold the work piece whenever possible.

3. ALWAYS take care of sharp edges produced by the cutting operation.

4. DO NOT use damaged punches/blades. When replacing cutting tool parts

make sure they are correctly and securely mounted.

COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS

A typical air line layout is shown below. If an automatic in-line filter/regulator is

used, it will keep the air 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.

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.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

The minimum hose diameter should be 5/16”(8mm) ID and fittings should have

the same internal dimensions.

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

recommended that air pressure to this tool does not exceed 90 psi (6.2 bar) 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.

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 air tool.

ACCESSORIES

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

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

Contact your CLARKE dealer for further information or CLARKE International

Service Department on 01992 565333.

CLARKE Air Line Oil (part no. 3050825) is available from your CLARKE dealer.

BEFORE USE

When opening the carton, check that all the items are present. Any damage

or deficiency should be reported to your CLARKE dealer immediately.

The carton should contain:

• Air Nibbler tool

• Male inlet adaptor

• Spare Die and blade

1. Remove the plastic blanking plug

from the air inlet connection.

2. Pour 2-3 drops of CLARKE airline oil

into the air inlet port. This should be

done regardless of whether or not

a lubricated air supply is to be

used.

3. If required, connect an in-line mini

oiler to the tool.

• A mini oiler helps to prolong the

life of any air tool.

4. Connect a suitable hose as shown or use the snap connector supplied to

connect directly to the hose.

5. Connect the other end of the hose to the compressor.

• PTFE tape may be useful for sealing threaded connections.

6. Turn on the air supply and check for air leaks. Rectify any found before

proceeding.

7. If using a mini oiler, place a sheet of paper next the exhaust port and

squeeze the trigger for approximately 30 seconds. The oil volume is

correctly set when a light stain of oil can be seen on the paper. Excessive

oil should be avoided.

Your air nibbler is now ready for use.

WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU

ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF AIR

COMPRESSORS AND A COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY.

OPERATION

The punch and die can be rotated through 360oto aid access and obtain

maximum consumable life.

1. To do this, loosen the locknut with

a 22 mm spanner and rotate the

die on the blade 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 your 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.

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.

CHANGING THE BLADE AND DIE

1. Loosen the locknut using a 22mm

spanner.

2. Unscrew the die (with the locknut

on it) from the body of the tool.

3. Using a 9mm ring spanner, unscrew

the blade retainer with the blade.

4. Remove the old blade from the

retainer and insert the new one.

5. Screw the retainer back into place

and tighten with the ring spanner.

6. Slide the die and locknut over the

blade and screw it back into the

tool until the tip of the blade is flush

with the bottom of the die. Rotate

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

the die into the best position required by the workpiece. Hold the die

steady with a spanner on its flats and re-tighten the locknut.

NOTE: The open side of the die should be straight ahead and in

alignment with the metal being cut.

DISCONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY

1. Do not disconnect the air hose until the supply is isolated at a shut-off

valve.

2. Once the pressure has been isolated, disconnect the air supply hose from

the air tool.

3. Shut down the compressor at the end of the work session.

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, replace the blanking plug to the air inlet once the airline is

disconnected.
