GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: WHEN USING ELECTRICAL TOOLS, BASIC SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND PERSONAL INJURY

WARNING: READ ALL THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE

THIS PRODUCT AND KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE.

WORK AREA

1.

Keep the work area clean and well lit.

Floors should always be kept clear.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

2.

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause loss of control.

3. The compressor should only be used in areas with adequate ventilation and should not be exposed to heat or used near flammable substances

PERSONAL SAFETY

1.

ALWAYS stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the compressor. DO NOT use the compressor while you are tired or under the influence of medication, drugs or alcohol. A moment of inattention can result in personal injury.

2.

ALWAYS use eye protection when operating compressed air equipment, and ensure that others in the work area are protected from flying particles from the front and from the side.

3.

ALWAYS protect yourself against electric shock.

Never operate the compressor in wet or damp locations.

4.

NEVER over-reach. Keep your proper footing and balance at all times to enable better control of the compressor in unexpected situations.

5.

NEVER attempt any complex repairs yourself. If you have a technical problem contact your local CLARKE dealer.

6.

ALWAYS store the compressor out of reach of children.

7.

ALWAYS protect your hearing. Ear protection should be worn when operating this compressor.

8.

NEVER direct the air stream at people or animals as injury may result.

GENERAL MACHINE USE AND CARE

1. Prior to use, all operators should become familiar with the instructions in this booklet especially the ON/OFF switch for emergency stopping.

2.

ALWAYS maintain the compressor with care and keep it clean for best / safest performance.

3.

NEVER use this compressor if any part is damaged. Have it inspected and repaired by your CLARKE dealer.

4.

NEVER attempt to modify the air compressor, fittings or attachments in any way. Doing so will invalidate the guarantee and could result in personal injury.

5.

NEVER abuse the power cable.

NEVER pull on the cable when removing the plug from the socket, or lift the compressor by the power cable.

6.

ONLY use extension leads that are of an appropriate power rating and suitable for the work environment. Extension leads must have an earth connection. Inspect the extension lead regularly and replace if damaged.

7.

ONLY USE RECOMMENDED PARTS: To avoid the risk of bursting, only hoses with a rated pressure of 8 bar or more should be used. NEVER attempt to repair damaged hoses.

8.

NEVER abuse the compressor by standing on it.

AIRLINE HOSES

1.

ALWAYS ensure that equipment or power tools used in conjunction with the compressor have a safe working pressure exceeding that of the machine.

2.

ALWAYS keep the air hose away from any attached power tools and ensure that the operator is not restricted by the length of the hose.

3.

ALWAYS take care when a long air hose is required in the work area as it presents a trip hazard. Coil the hose away as soon as the job is finished.

4.

ALWAYS avoid kinking or trapping the air hose. ALWAYS replace damaged hoses and never attempt a repair if a leak is detected.

5.

NEVER abuse hoses or connectors. NEVER carry an air tool by the hose, or yank it to disconnect from the air supply. Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for leaks or worn condition before use and ensure that all connections are secure.

6.

ALWAYS ensure that the air supply is turned off at the machine outlet and any air pressure vented from within the compressor and any attached equipment when disconnecting air hoses or other equipment.

OPERATING

SWITCHING ON AND OFF

1. To switch the compressor on, set the rocker switch to the ON “I” position.

2. If the task is completed run the attached air tool until no compressed air remains in the hose.

3. To switch the compressor off, set the rocker switch to the OFF “O” position

INFLATING

INFLATING TYRES

1. Attach the gun to the compressed air hose.

• When inflating tyres with normal “Schrader” valves, no adaptors need to be fitted to the rubber hose.

• Presta valves require the adaptor to be screwed onto the valve before attaching the rubber hose of the air gun.

11

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected]

2. Connect the rubber hose of the air gun to the tyre by pressing the end of the hose onto the tyre valve while holding down the hose tab.

3. Release the valve connector. The hose will now be connected to the tyre valve.

4. To inflate the tyre, hold down the trigger of the air gun.

5. After a short time, release the trigger and check the tyre pressure by referring to the pressure gauge.

6. Avoid inflating the objects above the recommended inflation pressure. This could lead to damage and /or injuries.

7. If the tyre pressure is too high, it can be reduced with the integrated release valve.

• Refer to the owners manual for the car/bicycle to confirm the correct tyre pressure required.

INFLATING OTHER ITEMS

1. The compressor kit is supplied with a variety of adaptors that can be fitted to the rubber hose. These adaptors (shown on page 8) are suitable for different valves that are often used on inflatable items.

2.

Adaptor (11) is used for footballs, basketballs etc.

3.

Adaptor (12) is used for rubber dinghies, inflatable small swimming pools and air beds.

4.

Adaptor (8) is used for bicycle tyres with “Presta” valves.

ATTACHING INFLATION ADAPTORS TO THE RUBBER HOSE

1. Push the selected adaptor into the rubber hose while pressing the hose tab.

2. Once it is inserted, release the hose tab.

13

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected]

3. Turn the adaptor in a clockwise direction to secure it in place.

BLOW GUN

1. To use the air gun as a blow gun, first unscrew and remove the rubber hose.

• The blower nozzle can then be screwed into the gun.

2. By varying the pressure on the trigger you can control the amount of compressed air released through the nozzle.

IMPORTANT: The operator is advised to wear eye protection when using the blow gun. Take care not to blow dirt or other loose particles towards yourself or other persons.

The blower nozzle adaptor is useful for blowing dust out of hollow spaces or hard to reach areas such as vents in electrical items or between the keys of a keyboard. It is also useful for cleaning soiled equipment.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

Ensure the compressor is disconnected from the power supply before cleaning. Keep the compressor free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe with a clean cloth or blow it down with compressed air at low pressure.

If cleaning is required, use a damp cloth and some soft soap. Never use cleaning agents or solvents as these may be aggressive to the plastic parts.

Ensure that no water can get into the interior of the compressor.

ALWAYS disconnect the hose and any spraying tools from the compressor before cleaning.

STORAGE

Store the power cable and hose inside the compressor storage compartment, taking care not to kink the hose or catch the leads.

Disconnect the mains plug and ventilate the compressor and any connected pneumatic tools. Store the compressor in a dry location.
