MAINTENANCE

DAILY

1. Before use, drain water from the airline filter and compressor.

2. Pour a few drops of Clarke air-line oil, into the tool air inlet. This should be 

carried out regardless of whether or not an in-line mini oiler is used. If an in-
line mini oiler is not used, this procedure should be repeated after every 
two to three hours of use, or at the start of the working day.

3. Keep the body of the tool clean and free from debris.

CLEANING

1. Keep the body of the tool clean and free from debris.

2. Grit or gum deposits in the tool may also reduce efficiency. This condition 

can be corrected by cleaning the air strainer and flushing out the tool with 
gum solvent oil, or failing this, the tool should be disassembled, thoroughly 
cleaned, dried and reassembled.

3. After extensive use, remove the inlet screen filter and flush out the 

mechanism with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE No10 oil and 
paraffin. Allow to dry before use.

4. If the tool runs erratically or becomes inefficient, and the air supply is of 

good quality, it may be necessary to dismantle the air motor and replace 
worn or damaged parts. You may prefer to take the tool to your CLARKE 
dealer if internal maintenance is required.

STORAGE AND SPARE PARTS

1. 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 run the tool for 5 seconds in order 
to lubricate the internal parts. Store the tool safely in its box in a dry, secure 
environment.

2. A wide range of accessories is available including filter/regulators, 

lubricators, high-pressure hoses (5 to 50 metres) etc. Contact your Clarke 
dealer for further information or the Clarke International Service 
Department.

• Replacement needle set;- Clarke part no; 3110566.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE AIR TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE 
AIR SUPPLY BEFORE STARTING ANY CLEANING, OR MAINTENANCE 
PROCEDURES.
