Operation
The impact wrench must be
properly lubricated before operation. See
“Lubrication” section.
Figure 1
1.
Remove protective cap from air inlet (Figure
1). If an in-line oiler is not being used, add 4
or 5 drops of air tool oil (not included) into the
air inlet.
2. Blow out air line to remove any dirt or
moisture, then connect air supply hose to
tool. Set air pressure to 90 psi.
IMPORTANT:
Connecting a quick-change
coupling directly to the tool is not
recommended, as vibration may cause the
connection to fail. Instead, add a leader hose
and install any quick-change couplings
farther down the line.
3.
Push 3/8” drive socket (not included) onto
anvil until it clicks into position.
4.
Rotate air regulator dial to one of 8 positions.
(Regulator settings are for reference only
and do not indicate specific power settings.)
Lowest setting ‘0’ is recommended for
smaller nuts and bolts. Setting ‘8’ provides
highest amount of torque and speed.
Make sure nut or bolt
can withstand rated torque of impact
wrench.
To loosen nut or bolt:
1.
Place socket over nut, and grip tool with both
hands.
2. Press
left
side of throttle lever for reverse
direction.
Important:
If tool cannot loosen nut, DO
NOT raise air pressure above 90 psi. If tools’
air regulator is in low setting, raise setting
and retry.
If tool’s regulator is already on
“8”, do not continue attempts to loosen
nut with this impact wrench.
Use other
methods or tools to loosen nut.
3.
Release throttle lever to stop impact wrench.
To tighten nut or bolt:
1.
Install nut as far as possible by hand.
2.
Place socket over nut, and grip tool with both
hands.
3. Press
right
side of throttle lever for forward
direction.
Important:
If tool stalls while tightening, DO
NOT raise air pressure above 90 psi. If tools’
air regulator is in low setting, raise setting
and retry.
If nut will not tighten on
maximum setting, do not continue
attempts to tighten nut with this impact
wrench.
Use other methods or tools to
tighten nut.
4.
Release throttle lever to stop impact wrench.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Fasteners with critical
torque settings should be fully tightened with a
torque wrench.
