AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS 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. • 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 in the air compressor will accelerate wear and corrosion in the moving parts.
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 COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLIES. Note: Ensure the compressor is turned off. 1. Remove the plastic blanking plug from the connection port of the tool as shown. 2. 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. 3.
was set. The tool is now set to duplicate that tightness. For future use, note that specific setting. 6. When critical torque values are not required, turn nut or bolt until it fits snugly, and then turn a further one quarter to one half a turn - slightly more if gaskets are used between surfaces. 7. For additional power during disassembly work, turn the air line regulator to its highest setting.
4. ALWAYS finish tightening with a torque wrench. The weight of the vehicle will need to be placed on the wheel to prevent it from rotating while the nuts are tightened. Ensure the final torque applied to the nuts meets the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations. DISCONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY 1. Do not disconnect the air supply hose until the compressor has been shut down and the compressed air pressure released. 2. Once the pressure has been released, disconnect the air supply hose from the tool.
SERVICE AND REPAIRS 1. Keep the tool clean at all times, and ensure that the bolts securing the case remain tight. • All bearings etc, in this machine are lubricated with sufficient high grade lubricant for the machines lifetime under normal operating conditions, therefore no further lubrication is required.

VIBRATION EMISSIONS HAND-ARM VIBRATION Employers are advised to refer to the HSE publication “Guide for Employers”. All hand held power tools vibrate to some extent, and this vibration is transmitted to the operator via the handle, or hand used to steady the tool. Vibration from about 2 to 1500 herz is potentially damaging and is most hazardous in the range from about 5 to 20 herz.
You will note that a third value is given in the specification - the highest measured reading in a single plane. This is the maximum level of vibration measured during testing in one of the axes, and this should also be taken into account when making a risk assessment. ‘a’ values in excess of 2.5 m/s2 are considered hazardous when used for prolonged periods. A tool with a vibration value of 2.8 m/s2 may be used for up to 8 hours (cumulative) per day, whereas a tool with a value of 11.
