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.
ADJUSTING THE SPEED The speed of the cut-off tool can be adjusted using the screw-in regulator in the tool body. A suitable screwdriver will be required. Turn the regulator clockwise or anticlockwise to suit. CHANGING THE CUTTING DISC WARNING: ENSURE AIR IS TURNED OFF AND TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE AIR SUPPLY BEFORE REPLACING DISC. 1. Ensure the disc being fitted has a speed rating greater than 21,000 RPM. 2. Install disc using spanner and hex key supplied. Ensure that the spacer is in place.
2. If no line lubricator is used, ensure that oil is applied to the tool on a daily basis through the air inlet connection. 3. For lubricating the air motor, an air line lubricator should be used, containing Clarke Air Line Oil, adjusted to 2 drops per minute. If this is not possible, run a few drops of oil through the tool. 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. Then operate the tool.
• Any major servicing and repairs should be carried out by your local CLARKE dealer or a qualified service technician. STORAGE 1. Store the tool safely in its box in a dry, secure environment. 2. If the tool is not to be used for longer than 24 hours, run a few drops of CLARKE airline oil into the air inlet and run the tool for a few seconds to ensure that the oil has been well distributed throughout the tool. 3.

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.
