SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. COMPRESSED AIR IS DANGEROUS, NEVER direct a jet of air at people or
animals, and NEVER discharge compressed air against the skin.
2. Electrical or mechanical repairs should only be carried out by a qualified
engineer. If problems occur, contact your Clarke dealer.
3. Before carrying out any maintenance, ensure the compressor is disconnected
from the mains supply
4. DO NOT operate in wet or damp conditions. Keep the machine dry at all
times. Similarly, a clean atmosphere will ensure efficient operation. Do not
use in dusty or otherwise dirty locations.
5. Some of the metal parts can become quite hot during operation. Take care
not to touch these until the machine has cooled down.
6. ALWAYS ensure that there is adequate ventilation when spraying and keep
clear of any possible source of ignition.
7. Protect yourself. Think carefully about any potential hazards which may be
created by using the compressor and use the appropriate protection. e.g.
goggles will protect your eyes from flying particles. Face masks will protect
you against paint spray and/or fumes.
8. Before spraying any material always consult paint manufacturers instructions
for safety and usage.
9. Do not exert any strain on electrical cables and ensure that air hoses are not
tangled or wrapped around machinery etc.
10. Before disconnecting air hoses or other equipment from your compressor
ensure that the compressor is switched off.
11. Make sure that children and animals are kept well away from the compressor
and any equipment attached to it.
12. Always ensure that all individuals using the compressor have read and fully
understand the Operating Instructions supplied.
13. Ensure that any equipment or tool used in conjunction with your compressor,
has a safety working pressure exceeding that of the machine.
14. Always place the compressor on a level surfacer wherever possible.
15. It is not advisable to carry the compressor when spraying.
16. DO NOT allow the compressor to run unnecessarily .. .switch it OFF when the
spraying tool is not being used.. .even for a short time.
WARNING!
As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation
and use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of
personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked, or
ignored, personal injury to the operator, or damage to property may result. It is
in your own interest to read and pay attention to the following rules:

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Connect the mains lead to a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply through
an approved 13 amp BS 1363 plug, or a suitably fused isolator switch.
WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Green & Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
As the colours of the flexible lead of this appliance may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying terminals in your plug proceed as follows:
• Connect GREEN & YELLOW cord to terminal marked with a letter “E” or Earth
symbol “ ” or coloured GREEN or GREEN & YELLOW.
• Connect BROWN cord to terminal marked with a letter “L” or coloured RED.
• Connect BLUE cord to terminal marked with a letter “N” or coloured BLACK.
If this appliance is fitted with a plug which is moulded onto the electric cable
(i.e. non-rewireable) please note:
1. The plug must be thrown away if it is cut from the electric cable. There is a
danger of electric shock if it is subsequently inserted into a socket outlet.
2. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
3. Should you wish to replace a detachable fuse carrier ensure that the correct
replacement is used (as indicated by marking or colour code).
4. Replacement fuse covers can be obtained from your local dealer or most
electrical stockists
FUSE RATING
The fuse in the plug must be replaced with one of the same rating (13 amps) and
this replacement must be approved to BS1362.
We recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply via a Residual
Current Device (RCD)
If in any doubt, DO NOT attempt any connections or repairs yourself. Consult a
qualified electrician, your Clarke dealer, or CLARKE International Service Dep’t

OPERATION
NOTE: This machine is designed for use with air bushes or other devices that

Ensure that the ON/OFF switch (see fig. 1) is in the ‘OFF’ (O) position. Attach
the air hose to the outlet on the handle, using either the 1/8"BSP thread, the
1/8" BSP adapter. Attach the air tool.
3. To start the compressor, plug in and switch on at the mains supply then switch
the motor switch to the ‘ON’ (I) position - the motor should start immediately.
If it does not.. .refer to ‘Fault Finding’ on p.7.
SHUTTING DOWN THE COMPRESSOR
1. To shut off the compressor, simply switch the ON/OFF switch to the OFF (O)
position. Always use this switch to shut down the compressor. NEVER USE THE
MAINS SWITCH TO STOP MOTOR.
2. Trigger the equipment (spray gun, air tool etc.) to release air from the air
hose before disconnecting the hose from the machine.
WARNING!

ALWAYS MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE AIR TOOL HAS BEEN TRIGGERED
MAINTENANCE
1. After the first 5 hours of running the compressor, check the cylinder head
screws and retighten - equally to 10 lbs ft. if any have worked loose.
2. Every 50 hours (more frequently if
used in a dusty environment), clean
the air intake filter, by unscrewing
the two screws securing the plastic
end cover prising off the cover then
removing the two screws securing
the air filter.

two or three times.
