Clarke service

[p0689109]

Has anybody had any problems trying to get a manual for one of their items sold by Machine Mart? I want one for one of their bandsaws and a search on Google gave a few links but no response from any link. Have they gone bust or something?
The bandsaw is a CBS250 by the way.
Cheers Michael T

I asked for some help with their vacuum bleeder that has never worked. Spotty yoof who answered told me I would be called back. I have gone back to a tube in a jar before I die of old age, waiting.

I've got one of there brake vacuum bleeders works wonders, staying clean all the time what you having problems with on it ?

I can't make it "suck". The vaccum developed is so small that it is not effective. If you attempt to help it by pressing the brake pedal, the rubber attachment on the nipple shoots off. It doesn't help that these are small nipples mind.

I have taken the thing apart, messed with air pressure etc, but still nothing. I get the impression that the cannister is pressurising rather than evacuating as I did see a weep of fluid around the cannister seal at one point.

Many thanks mk1mr2 for that link. I have just got back from MM and they suggested I get in touch with their technical dept. You have just saved me the trouble.
Many thanks again.

Recently bought bits for a pillar drill direct from clarke(to use on another make of drill)...had no complaints about service/comms/delivery etc.

I had an email enquiry answered promptly enough by their spares department.

This is the one I have I have just noticed they have a few,
is lots of air correctly passing over the top and out the filter like thing on the left of the machine?
when I put mine to my cheek it's quite a strong suction what pressure are you running at, ?
I sometimes find if the nipple is small or it doesn't get a air tight seal I use a dab of grease on the nipple and that usually I seals it up.
