BEFORE USE

CONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY

WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU
ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF AIR
COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY.
1. Pour 2-3 drops of CLARKE airline oil into the air inlet. This should be done
regardless of whether or not a lubricated air supply is to be used.
2. Connect a suitable hose to the
tool as shown using the airline
connector supplied with the tool.
3. If required, connect an in-line mini
oiler to the tool.
• A mini oiler helps to prolong the
life of the air tool. Remove the
oil fill screw from the side of the
mini oiler and fill with air-line oil
available from your CLARKE
dealer. Replace the screw before using the tool.
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 inlet strainer 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. PTFE tape may be useful for sealing threaded connections.
7. 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.)
