6. When finished sanding, release the throttle lever and allow the motor to
stop before carefully putting the tool down.
DISCONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY
1. Do not disconnect the air supply hose until the compressor has been shut
down and the compressed air released.
2. Refer to the compressor instruction manual for the procedure to shut down
and vent the compressed air.
3. Once the pressure has been released, disconnect the air supply hose from
the air tool.
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.
3. Check the air inlet screen filter for blockage and clean if necessary.
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. This is better left to your Clarke dealer.
3. After extensive use, flush out the mechanism with gum solvent oil or an
equal mixture of Clarke air-line 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.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE AIR TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE
AIR SUPPLY BEFORE STARTING ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURES.
