OPERATING INSTRUCTION DESCRIPTION
This ½” Impact Wrench is designed to install and remove nuts and bolts. The
wrench is made of a die-cast aluminum body with a front exhaust, rubber scuff
guards on the nose and back, and a built-in regulator to vary the speed and
power of the wrench. It is ideal for changing tires, as well as general assembly,
and other workshop applications.
Air Supply
1.
Ensure the tool’s air valve (or trigger) is in the OFF position before con-
necting the wrench to the air supply.
2.
The wrench requires 90 PSI of air pressure to operate. Do not exceed
the specified air pressure to prevent damage and/or personal harm.
3.
Drain the tank daily or after each use. Moisture in the air line will
damage the wrench.
Lubrication
An automatic in-line filter-regulator lubricator is recommended (Fig.), as it in-
creases tool life and keeps the tool in good working order. The in-line lubricator
should be regularly checked and filled with air tool oil. Proper adjustment of the
in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of paper next to the exhaust
ports and holding the throttle open for approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator
is properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper. Excessive amounts
of oil should be avoided.
