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. clarke airline 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 dirty 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

ASSEMBLING THE NEEDLE HOLDER

The needle scaler is packed in two halves.

• The main body and hammer assembly

• The needles with needle holder, needle tube and spring

1. Insert the needles, needle holder and spring into the needle tube, Ensure

the needle holder is the correct way round, so that the heads of the

needles sit snugly in the recesses in the holder.

2. Push the needle tube, complete

with needles, needle holder and

spring, on to the main body so that

the retaining lug in the body enters

the slot in the side of the tube.

Continue to push against spring

pressure until the body can be

twisted, and thereby locked, into

one of three positions.

The first position, achieved by turning

the body and the retaining lug

anticlockwise, creates the greatest needle force, the second position,

achieved by pushing harder against spring pressure and turning the body

clockwise, creates a slightly lesser force, and the third position, achieved in a

similar manner, creates even less.

3. Select a position depending upon your work requirements, dictated by the

finish required and the type of material being worked on.

CONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY

1. Remove the protective plug from the air inlet port and connect a suitable

hose.

2. A gauze filter is fitted within the air inlet adapter. Ensure this filter is always in

place and clean. The airline is connected to the adapter, preferably via a

quick release coupling (not supplied).

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

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.

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

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

proceeding.

• PTFE tape may be useful for sealing threaded connections.

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

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

6. 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.

7. Ensure the trigger is NOT depressed when connecting the air line.

USING THE NEEDLE SCALER

1. Hold the tool with both hands and bring towards the work at an angle of

approx. 60-70o. With the airline pressure set to 90 psi (621bar), squeeze the

trigger and allow the needles to come into contact with the work.

2. Moving slowly across the work surface, proceed to remove scale, rust or

other contaminants taking care not to damage the surface. Regulate the

air supply pressure and locking groove setting to adjust the performance of

the tool.

3. Release the trigger to stop operation, noting that the tool may run briefly

after the trigger is released.

DISCONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY

1. Do not disconnect the compressed air supply hose until the air supply has

been shut down or isolated at the shut off valve and the compressed air

expelled by running the tool until it stops.

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 needle scaler.

MAINTENANCE

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.

DAILY OR BEFORE USE

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

2. Lubricate the air tool daily or before use for optimum performance, using a

high quality airline oil either via a lubricator in the air supply system or by

placing a few drops into the air inlet immediately before use. This should be

carried out regardless of whether or not an in-line lubricator is used.

CLEANING & OVERHAUL

1. Keep the tool clean and free from debris.

2. Grit or gum deposits in the mechanism may eventually reduce efficiency.

This condition can be corrected by cleaning the air inlet strainer and

flushing out the tool with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE No10 oil

and paraffin.

3. Failing this, the tool should be disassembled, thoroughly cleaned, dried

and reassembled. You may prefer to take the tool to your CLARKE dealer if

internal maintenance is required.

4. If the sander becomes sluggish 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.

5. Replacement needles can be fitted if required as described on page 6.

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, the needle scaler should be disconnected from the air supply

and stored in a dry place out of the reach of children. Avoid storing in a damp

environment.

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

AIR SUPPLY BEFORE STARTING ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE

PROCEDURES.
