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.)
OPERATING
ADJUSTING THE SPEED
1. Squeeze the trigger against the
body of the tool to start the
sander and control the speed.
Evaluate the speed and adjust as
follows.
2. Adjust the operating speed by
twisting the speed control shown.
• The speed of rotation is shown
by the arrow embossed on the
tool body (anti-clockwise will
increase the sanding speed.)
3. To begin work, rest the disc pad on the workpiece and start the sander.
• Let the tool do the work. The actual weight of the machine is
normally sufficient for efficient sanding. Do not put additional
pressure on the machine, which would only slow down the speed of
the pad, reducing efficiency and placing an additional burden on
the motor.
4. Pass the sander back and forth in wide, overlapping areas, taking care to
keep the sander moving around at all times. Avoid dwelling in one place
for more than a moment.
5. Release the trigger to stop the tool.
6. Always ensure the tool has stopped before putting it down.
