COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY. • Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source. • Air compressors used with the tool must comply with the appropriate European Community Safety Directives. • A build-up of moisture or oil in the air compressor will accelerate wear and corrosion in the tool.
BEFORE USE WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF AIR COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLIES. NOTE: Ensure the compressor is turned off. 1. Remove the blanking plug from the inlet connection of the tool. 2. If required, connect an in-line mini oiler to the tool. • A mini oiler helps to prolong the life of the air tool. 3. If a mini-oiler is not being used, run a few drops of oil through the tool before use.
FITTING THE GRINDING STONE INTO THE DIE GRINDER IMPORTANT: Never use chipped or cracked grindstones. Never use grindstones not rated to operate at a speed equal to, or greater than, the full operating speed of the air tool. 1. Slip the shank of the chosen stone into the collet and tighten the screw cap finger tight. 2. Place the smaller of the two wrenches over the collet seat to stop the tool from rotating. 3. Use the larger wrench to fully tighten the collet and grip the stone in position as shown.
GRINDING TIPS • The key to efficient grinding is to control the pressure and surface contact between the grinding tool and the workpiece. • Allow the tool to reach full speed before grinding. • Avoid overloading the die grinder. If it becomes hot during use, rest for a few minutes while it cools 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.
WEEKLY 1. Check the air inlet strainer for blockage and clean if necessary. 1. Keep the body of each tool clean and free from debris. 2. Grit or gum deposits inside the tool may also reduce its efficiency. This condition can be corrected by cleaning out the air strainer and flushing out the tool with gum solvent or oil, or failing this, the motor may require dismantling. This is better left to your Clarke dealer.
