AIR SUPPLY
Tools of this type, operate on a wide range
of air pressures. It is recommended that air
pressure to this tool does not exceed 90 PSI
(6.1bar), at the tool when running. Higher
pressure and unclean air, will shorten the tools'
life because of faster wear, and could be a
safety hazard.
Water in the air line will cause damage to the
tool, ensure it is properly maintained at all
times.
The recommended procedure to connect
this tool to an air supply, is shown on Page 7.
The air inlet used for connecting air supply,
has a standard ¼" BSP thread.
Line pressure, or hose inside diameter, should
be increased to compensate for unusually
long air hoses (over 10m). Minimum hose
diameter should be 6mm (¼") ID., and fittings
should have the same inside dimensions.
ASSEMBLY
Connect a suitable hose to the Sander using
a ¼" hose adapter, (A whip hose with Quick
Fit coupling is available from your CLARKE
dealer). then connect the other end to the
airline.
NOTE: ensure the airline is turned off.
Your Sander is now ready for use.
WARNING
Compressed air can be
dangerous. Ensure that you are
thoroughly familiar with all
precautions relating to the use
of compressors and
compressed air supply.
