OPERATION
INTENDED USE
The tool is intended for quickly tightening and loosening nuts, bolts and other fasteners.
Not intended to be used in place of a torque wrench or impact wrench, this tool will not
break loose seized nuts.
BEFORE USE
Before turning on the tool, read the following notes:
1. Charge the battery with the provided charger. A fully discharged battery
recharges in about 3-5 hours.
2. Use only appropriate sockets and bits.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
1. Remove the battery from the tool by depressing both battery lock buttons and
pull down.
2. Plug charger's power lead into the top of the battery. The red LED indicates
that the battery is charging.
Once charged, the red LED turns off and the green LED stays on continuously.
3. During charging, it is normal for the battery to warm slightly. If the battery will
not charge, check:
- That the socket has voltage.
- That the charger contacts are reliable.
- Verify there is no damage to the charging cord.
STARTING OPERATION
1. Insert the Battery: Only use the original brand of Li-ion batteries with the voltage listed on the nameplate of the tool. Using other batteries can lead
to injuries and pose a fire hazard. Insert the charged battery into the handle until you feel it engage and it sits flush against the handle.
2. Reversing the Rotational Direction: The direction switch is used to select the rotational direction of the ratchet to be either clockwise or counter
clockwise. Clockwise - Right Rotation: For driving in screws and tightening nuts, turn the direction switch through to the left stop. Counter Clockwise
- Left Rotation: For loosening and unscrewing screws and nuts, turn the direction switch through to the right stop. (NOTE: there are some styles of
screws, nuts and bolts that are reverse threaded. Use the above directions inversely.)
3. Switching On and Off: To start the tool, press the On/off trigger and keep it pressed. To switch off the tool, release the On/0ff trigger.
4. Working Advice: Apply the power tool to the screw/nut only when it is switched off. Choose your own socket (sold separately) and verify that it is
securely seated over the detent ball to assure socket will not slip off during use. The torque depends on the impact duration. The maximum achieved
torque results from the sum of all individual torques achieved through impact. The maximum torque is achieved after the impact duration of 6-10
seconds. After this duration, the tightening torque is increased only minimally. After maximum torque has been achieved using motor the tool can be
powered down and further manual torque can be applied up to 80 ft pounds. Use an actual breaker bar if further tightening is required.
DISPLAY BATTERY STATUS
Three color LEDs indicate the status whenever the ON / OFF button is pressed.
- All LEDs are lighted: the battery is fully charged.
- Yellow and red LEDs lighted: the battery has charge.
- Red LED lighted: the battery is almost empty and needs to be recharged.
