Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS  Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source.  Air compressors used wi th 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. Ensure any moisture is drained from the compressor daily and the inlet filter is kept clean.  If an unusually long air hose is required, (over 8 metres), the line pressure or the hose inside diameter may need to be increased.  The air hose must be rated at least 150% of the maximum operating pressure of the tool.  A typical air line layout is shown ab ove. If an automatic in-line filter/ regulator is used, it will keep the air tool in good condition, but should be regularly checked and topped up with oil. SAE 10 oil should be used and the lubricator adjusted to approx 2 drops per minute.  The minimum hose diameter should be 5/16”(8mm) ID and fittings should have the same internal dimensions. WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF COMPRESSORS AND A COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com  Never exceed the maximum operating pressure for the air tool. It is recommended that air pressure to this tool does not exceed 90 psi (6.2 bar) at the tool when running. Higher pressures and unclean air will shorten the life of the tool due to faster wear and is a possible safety hazard. BEFORE USE FITTING/REPLACING THE BLADE 1. Slide the blade into the saw as shown. 2. Remove the protective cover by undoing the screw shown. 3. Secure the blade by tightening the two hex screws using the hex key supplied. CONNECTING THE AIR LINE 1. Removethe plastic blanking plug from the connection port of the tool. 2. Pour 2-3 drops of CLARKE airline oil into the air inlet. This should be done regardless of whether or not a lubricated air supply is to be used. 3. Connect a suitable hose to the tool as shown. WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE SAW IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE AIR SUPPLY BEFORE INSTALLING, REMOVING OR REPLACING THE BLADE. WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLIES.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com 4. Connect the other end of the hose to the compressor. (A whip hose with a quick fit coupling is available from your CLARKE dealer). 5. Turn on the air supply and check fo r air leaks. Rectify any found before proceeding. The tool is now ready for use.

OPERATION 1. Slide the safety lock forward. 2. Squeeze the trigger.  Allow the saw to reach full speed before use. 3. Release the trigger to stop the saw. When the blade has stopped remove it from the workpiece. 4. Release the trigger to stop the tool. 5. Always ensure the tool has stopped before putting it down. DISCONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY 1. Do not disconnect the air supply hose until the air supply has been shut down and the compressed air released from the hose.  Refer to the compressor instructio n manual for the procedure to shut down and release the compressed air.  Once the pressure has been rele ased, disconnect the air supply hose from the saw.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com MAINTENANCE Please note that factors other than the tools condition 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 improper size or poor condition which will reduce air supply. DAILY 1. Before use, drain water from the air-line and compressor. 2. Lubricate the saw daily for optimum performance. Use 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 saw clean and free from debris. 2. If the saw becomes sluggish and the air supply is of good quality, it may be necessary to replace worn or damaged parts. 3. Grit or gum deposits in the mechan ism may eventually reduce efficiency. This condition can be corrected by cleaning the air inlet filter and flushing out the saw with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE No10 oil and paraffin. 4. Failing this, the saw should be disassembled, thoroughly cleaned, dried and reassembled. You may prefer to take the saw to your CLARKE dealer if internal maintenance is required. STORAGE If the saw 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 saw 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 SAW IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE AIR SUPPLY BEFORE STARTING ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES.
