SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WORK ENVIRONMENT • Keep the work area clean and tidy. • Dress appropriately - Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Tie long hair out of the way. • Keep children and visitors away - Do not let children handle the tool. Make sure that any other persons in the work area are dressed suitably and are wearing eye and ear protectors. • Keep the air supply hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. • Do not fit the tool to any stand or clamping device that may damage the tool.
• Always disconnect from the air supply when: a) Performing any maintenance. b) The tool is not in use. c) The tool will be left unattended. d) Moving to another work area. • Avoid damaging the tool for example by applying excessive force. • ALWAYS maintain the tool with care. Keep it clean for best and safest performance. • Quick change air-line couplings should not be located at the tool. They add weight and could fail due to vibration. • DO NOT force or misuse the tool.
• If an unusually long air hose is required, (over 8 metres), line presure may need to be increased. A typical airline layout is shown on the right. If an automatic in-line filter/ regulator/lubricator unit is used it will keep the tool in good condition, but should be regularly checked and topped up with oil. IMPORTANT: If a filter/ lubricator unit is not used, the tool should be lubricated with 2 to 6 drops of oil, at least once a day or after 2 hours work, depending upon the working environment.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT: Only use sockets designed for use with a ratchet wrench;- either 3/8" (10mm) for the CAT109 or 1/ 2” (13mm) for the CAT108. 1 Select the socket you require. 2. Press the socket until it clicks into place on the square drive. 3. Place the socket over the subject nut. • Take care that the socket is firmly engaged on the nut to be tightened or removed. Fig 2 4. Squeeze the trigger against the body of the tool to start as in Fig 2. 5. Release the trigger to stop the tool.
MAINTENANCE WARNING! Make sure that the ratchet wrench is disconnected from the air supply before starting any cleaning or maintenance procedures. DAILY • Drain water from the compressor air tank and air-line. • Pour a few drops of CLARKE air line oil**, into the air inlet. This should be carried out regardless of whether or not an air line lubricator is used. If an air-line lubricator is not used, this procedure should be repeated after every two to three hours of use.

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.
