INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this CLARKE Blow Gun kit.
Before attempting to use this product, please read this manual thoroughly and
follow the instructions carefully. In doing so you will ensure the safety of yourself
and that of others around you, and you can look forward to your purchase
giving you long and satisfactory service.
Please keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
SPECIFICATION
COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS
Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source.
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 hose must be rated at 150% of the max operating pressure of the tool.
If an automatic in-line filter/regulator is used, it will keep the tool in good
condition, but should be regularly checked.
Never exceed the maximum operating pressure for the air tool. It is
recommended that air pressure to this tool does not exceed 90 psi. Higher
pressures and dirty air will shorten the life of the tool due to faster wear and is a
possible safety hazard
Max Operating Pressure 90 psi (6.2 bar)
Air Inlet Size 1/4“BSP Female
Air Consumption 9.5 cfm (max @90psi)
Dimensions Pocket Blow Gun - 97 x 20 x 29mm (0.057kg)

WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU

CONNECTING /DISCONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY
1. Connect a suitable hose to the air inlet.

3. Turn on the air supply and check for air leaks. Rectify any found before
proceeding.
• PTFE tape may be useful for sealing threaded connections.
4. Your blow gun is now ready for use.
5. Set the compressed air pressure to suit at the compressed airline regulator.
6. DO NOT disconnect the air supply hose until the compressed air has been
isolated at a shut off valve. Once the pressure has been released,

MAINTENANCE
1. Before use, drain any condensate from the airline filter and compressor.
2. Clean thoroughly after use with a suitable solvent.
Please note that outside factors may affect the blow gun operation and
efficiency. These include 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 blow gun has been designed to give long and trouble free
