COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS

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

used, it will keep air tools in good condition but should be regularly checked

and topped up with oil. CLARKE airline oil should be used and the lubricator

be 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

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.

The air hose must be rated at least 150% of the maximum operating pressure of

the tool.

For optimum performance it is recommended that a 3/8” ID airline hose is

used.

Set the tool in the OFF position before connecting it to the air supply.

A build-up of moisture or oil in the air compressor will accelerate wear and

corrosion in the air 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 by up to 15 psi to maintain air

pressure at the tool.

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

recommended that air pressure to this tool does not exceed 90 psi at the air

tool when running. Higher pressures and dirty air will shorten the life of the tool

due to faster wear and is a possible safety hazard.

Check hoses for wear or damage before use.

BEFORE USE

CONNECTING THE AIRLINE

NOTE: Ensure the air supply is turned off.

1. Remove the travel plug.

2. If required, connect an in-line mini

oiler to the tool. Refer to the

instructions supplied with the mini-

oiler before use.

• A mini oiler helps to prolong the

life of any air tool.

3. Connect a suitable hose. This can

be done using either the male

adaptor supplied or using a mini

oiler from your CLARKE dealer.

4. 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 airline connector or via the hose

at the nearest connection to the air supply.

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

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

proceeding. Set the working pressure to 90psi/6.2 bar for best

performance.

• PTFE tape may be useful for sealing threaded connections.

7. Place a sheet of paper next the exhaust port and hold the throttle open 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 tool is now ready for use.

You can fit a whip hose with a quick fit coupling if required (available from

your CLARKE dealer).

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

1. Connect the tool to the air supply.

FLANGING

IMPORTANT: If you intend to flange and punch the workpiece, flange it first

and then measure for hole placement. Flanging will change the dimensions

of the workpiece.

1. Measure and cut the workpiece to the correct dimensions.

2. Secure the workpiece in a vice or another appropriate clamping method if

needed.

3. Insert the workpiece into the flanging jaw between the anvil (2) and the

clamp (1). Make sure that the workpiece is flush against the back of both

the anvil and the clamp. Depress the trigger (6) and the anvil will be driven

against the clamp forming a flange.

4. Release the trigger. Slide the punch/flange tool along the edge of the

workpiece to where the anvil (2) and the clamp (1) overlap part of the

workpiece you just flanged. Repeat Step 3.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the entire flange is finished.

6. Disconnect the tool from the air supply.

PUNCHING

NOTE: The tool head can be rotated 360 degrees. Just manually rotate

the tool head clockwise or counterclockwise within a half

round to make the necessary adjustment.

1. Mark the desired location on the workpiece of each hole you wish to

punch.

2. Insert the edge of the workpiece between the punch die (3)

and punch (4). Make sure that your marks are aligned with the punch die.

3. Depress the trigger (6) and the punch will pierce the workpiece.

4. Align the punch/flange tool with the next mark on the workpiece

and repeat Step 3 until the job is finished.

5. Disconnect the tool from the air supply.

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.

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

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 and drain daily as

recommended.

STORAGE

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

place.

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 storing, replace the blanking plug on the

airline inlet.

Avoid storing the tool where the temperature is below 0oC.

MAINTENANCE

DAILY

1. Before use, drain water from the compressed air supply.

2. If no airline lubricator or mini oiler is used, ensure that oil is applied to the

tool on a daily basis through the air inlet connection. Run a few drops of oil

through the tool before use. It may be entered into the tool air inlet,

(ensuring the strainer is clear), or into the hose at the nearest connection to

the air supply.

3. This procedure should be repeated after every two to three hours of use or

at the start of the working day.

4. Keep the body of the tool clean and free from debris.

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

COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY BEFORE STARTING ANY CLEANING OR

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES.
