COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS
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. 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 air tool.
A typical air line layout is shown above. If an automatic in-line filter/regulator is
used, it will keep the air tool in good condition, but should be regularly
checked.
For optimum performance it is recommended that a 3/8” ID hose is used.
DO NOT exceed the maximum operating pressure. It is recommended that air
pressure does not exceed 90 psi (6.2 bar). Higher pressures and dirty air will
shorten the life of the blow gun due to faster wear and is a possible safety
hazard.
WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU
ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF
COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR.

BEFORE USE
CONNECTING THE AIRLINE
Ensure the air supply is isolated from
the airline at a shut-off valve.
1. Connect a suitable hose to the air
inlet connector as shown.
2. Connect the other end of the air
hose to the air compressor.
3. Set the compressed air pressure to
suit the task at the airline regulator.
4. Turn on the air supply and check
for air leaks. Rectify any found before proceeding.
• PTFE tape may be useful for sealing threaded connections.
5. Your blow gun is now ready for use.
DISCONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY
1. Do not disconnect the airline until the supply is isolated at a shut-off valve.
2. Once the pressure has been isolated, disconnect the air supply hose from
the blow gun.
3. Shut down the compressor at the end of the work session.

PERFORMANCE
Please note that factors other than the air tool may affect 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.
Your CLARKE air tool has been designed to give long and trouble free service.

encounter problems, take the unit to your local CLARKE dealer.
