USE OF THE POLISHING TOOL

1. Try to hold the tool with both hands. Ensure that the workpiece is kept at

waist height where possible. NEVER use the tool between the legs whilst

sitting on the floor.

2. ALWAYS allow the tool to run up to full operating speed before applying it

to the job.

3. Use clamps, or vices to hold a loose workpiece. Failure to secure the

workpiece could result in personal injury.

4. Inspect the pad/mop before use. DO NOT use if split or torn.

5. ALWAYS wear a face mask as protection from airbourne particles. Avoid

disturbing existing dust and minimise the scattering of dust in the worplace

environment. Take steps to control the dust at the point of emission.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

1. NEVER carry the tool by the air supply hose.

2. NEVER carry the tool with your finger on the trigger.

COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS

• A typical air line layout is shown below. If an automatic in-line filter/

regulator is used, it will keep the 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.

WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU

ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF AIR

COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLIES.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

• The air hose must be rated at least 150% of the maximum operating

pressure of the tool

• 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.

• NEVER exceed the maximum operating pressure for the tool. It is

recommended that air pressure to this tool does not exceed 90 psi

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

NOTE: Ensure the compressor is turned off and remove the travel plug

from the inlet connection of the air tool.

1. If required, connect an in-line mini

oiler to the tool.

• A mini oiler helps to prolong the

life of the air tool.

2. Connect a suitable hose with a

male connector to the air inlet as

shown by screwing it in as shown.

3. Connect the other end of the hose

to the compressor.

4. Run the compressor at low pressure and check for leaks.

5. If a mini-oiler is not being used, run a few drops of oil through the tool

before use. It can be entered through the air inlet or via the hose at the

nearest connection to the air supply.

WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU

ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF AIR

COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLIES.

You can fit a whip hose with a quick fit coupling if required (available from

your CLARKE dealer).

FITTING THE BACKING DISC

Insert the spindle locking pin through

the aperture provided and into the

hole in the drive spindle to stop the

spindle from rotating.

Thread the backing disc into the

drive spindle by turning it clockwise.

Tighten the disc using the locking pin

provided to prevent the drive shaft

from rotating.

ATTACHING THE PAD OR MOP

1. Select your attachment (either lambswool mop or sponge pad). Line up

and centre your choice of attachment to the backing disc.

2. Press either the sponge pad or mop against the backing disc so that the

hook and eye surfaces engage. Run your hand over the surface to ensure

it is affixed.

OPERATION

RUNNING THE TOOL

The polisher should run at a suitable

speed which can be regulated as

required by turning the regulator.

• The regulator turns through 90

degrees between fully on and

fully off.

1. Squeeze the trigger against the

body of the tool to run.

2. Release the trigger to stop the

tool.

• The tool will continue to rotate very briefly after the trigger has been

released.

3. ALWAYS ensure the tool has stopped before putting it down.

USING THE POLISHER

IMPORTANT: Do not add too much wax to the applicator pad, as it will

increase the time and effort needed to complete the task. A

saturated pad may also separate from the disc pad during use.

1. Clean the workpiece's surface to remove dust, dirt, oil or grease.

2. Place a clean foam applicator pad securely onto the backing disc.

3. Apply a smear of wax polish (not included) evenly on the clean

foam applicator pad. The pad will absorb some of the wax.

4. Place the polishing pad on the workpiece and squeeze the trigger.

• The speed is controlled by adjusting the air regulator.

5. DO NOT apply pressure to the polisher until it reaches full speed.

Apply light pressure while moving the polisher across the

su r f ac e in sweeping strokes, creating a cris-cross pattern. Apply any

polishing wax evenly.

6. Increase the air flow if more power is needed to accomplish the

task. DO NOT exceed the maximum airflow or PSI (see Specifications).

• A larger tool may be required if the tool still does not have

sufficient force at maximum pressure and sufficient airflow.

7. Add additional wax to the pad as needed. Release the trigger and

allow the polisher to come to a complete stop, add a small

amount wax and resume operation.

8. After the wax has been applied to the vehicle's surface, release

the trigger and disconnect the air supply.

9. Allow sufficient time for wax to dry.

10. Place a clean wool buffing pad securely onto the disc.

11. Start the polisher and begin buffing off the dried wax.

12. When you have removed as much wax as you can with the polisher.

release the trigger and disconnect the air supply.

13. Remove the buffing pad from the backing disc. Using the buffing pad,

remove the wax from all hard-to-reach areas of the vehicle.

14. To prevent accidents, release the trigger, detach the polisher from the air

supply and safely discharge any residual air pressure in the tool.

POLISHING TIPS

• DO NOT use excess pressure on the pad as this will shorten its life.

• Allow the pad to reach working speed before polishing.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

• Avoid overloading the polisher. If it becomes hot during use, rest for

a few minutes while it cools down.

DISCONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY

1. DO NOT disconnect the air supply hose until the compressor has been shut

down and the compressed air released.

2. Refer to the compressor instruction manual for the procedure to shut down

and release the compressed air.

3. Once the pressure has been released, disconnect the air supply hose from

the tool.

MAINTENANCE

DAILY

1. Before use, drain water from the air tank, air line and compressor.

2. Pour a few drops of CLARKE airline oil into the air inlet. This should be carried

out regardless of whether or not an in-line mini oiler is used. If an in-line mini

oiler is not used, this procedure should be repeated after every two to

three hours of use.

CLEANING

1. Wash the mop after each use by

hand and use mild soap with

water. Hang it up to dry.

• Store flat and allow it to regain

shape.

2. Check the air inlet strainer for

blockage and clean if necessary.

3. Keep the body of the tool clean

and free from debris.

4. Grit or gum deposits inside the tool may also reduce its efficiency. This

condition can be corrected by cleaning out the air strainer and flushing

out the tool with gum solvent or oil, or failing this, the motor may require

dismantling. This is better left to your CLARKE dealer.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE AIR TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE

AIR SUPPLY BEFORE STARTING ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE

PROCEDURES.
