MAINTENANCE
Please note that factors other than the tool may effect its operation and
efficiency such as reduced compressor output, excessive drain on the airline,
moisture or restrictions in the air-line, or the use of connectors of improper size
or poor condition which will reduce air supply.
DAILY OR BEFORE USE
1. Before use, drain water from the air-line and compressor.
2. Lubricate the air tool daily or before use for optimum performance, using a
high quality airline oil either via a lubricator in the air supply system or by
placing a few drops into the air inlet immediately before use. This should be
carried out regardless of whether or not an in-line lubricator is used.
CLEANING & OVERHAUL
1. Keep the tool clean and free from debris.
2. Grit or gum deposits in the mechanism may eventually reduce efficiency.
This condition can be corrected by cleaning the air inlet strainer and
flushing out the tool with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE No10 oil
and paraffin.
3. Failing this, the tool should be disassembled, thoroughly cleaned, dried
and reassembled. You may prefer to take the tool to your CLARKE dealer if
internal maintenance is required.
4. If the sander becomes sluggish and the air supply is of good quality, it may
be necessary to replace worn or damaged parts. You may prefer to take
the tool to your Clarke dealer if internal maintenance is required.
5. Replacement needles can be fitted if required as described on page 6.
STORAGE
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 depress the trigger in order to lubricate
the internal parts.
When not in use, the needle scaler should be disconnected from the air supply
and stored in a dry place out of the reach of children. Avoid storing in a damp
environment.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE AIR TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE
AIR SUPPLY BEFORE STARTING ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURES.
