ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove air supply before
making any adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can
cause injury.
Attaching and Removing Square Drive Anvils
(Fig. A)
Your tool is supplied with two anvils, a 3/8" square drive anvil
8 and a 1/2" square drive anvil 9 , suitable for use with the
corresponding sized sockets. To install an anvil just push it
into the square drive
1 until you hear a "click". The anvil
can be installed on the front or back of the head in order to
enable you to more versatility to get the tool into tight spaces
more comfortably.
To remove the anvil from the air ratchet, push the button on the
back of the anvil and slide the unit out.
Air Supply (Fig. D)
The recommended hook-up is shown in Figure D. Pneumatic
tools operate on a wide range of air pressures. For maximum
efficiency and longer tool life, the pressure of the air supplied
to these tools MUST not exceed the rated PSI at the tool when
the tool is running. Using a higher than rated pressure will cause
faster wear and drastically shorten the tool’s life. A higher air
pressure can also cause an unsafe condition and explosion.
The inside diameter of the hose should be increased to
compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 25 feet [7.6 m]).
Minimum hose diameter should be 3/8" (10 mm) I.D. and
fittings should have 1/4" NPT thread.
The use of air line lubricators and air line filters is recommended
to prevent water in the line that can damage the tool. Drain the
air tank daily. Clean the air inlet filter screen on at least a weekly
schedule to remove accumulated dirt or other matter that can
restrict air flow.
The tool’s air inlet used for connecting an air supply has
standard 1/4" NPT American thread.
fasteners the tool can move quite quickly away from the fastener
being undone. An allowance must always be made for this
rearward movement so as to avoid the possibility of hand/arm/
body entrapment.
Features
Forward/Reverse Switch (Fig. A)
The forward/reverse switch 5 allows the tool to operate in a
forward or reverse direction for easier and robust operation.
3/8" and 1/2" Square Drive (Fig. A)
The 3/8" and 1/2" square drive 1 allows the attachment of 3/8"
and 1/2" drive sockets.
Sealed Head (Fig. A)
The sealed head
6
design prevents yoke spread under heavy
torque application.
Rubber Grip Handle (Fig. A)
This air tool has a rubber grip handle 4 made of molded
thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) designed for improved comfort,
slippage reduction, and better tool control.
Variable Speed Trigger (Fig. A)
The variable speed trigger
2
allows the operator to control the
start and stop of the air tool.
1/4" Inlet (Fig. B)
The tool’s 1/4" inlet 3 located at the bottom of the handle is
used for connecting an air supply with a standard 1/4" NPT
American thread.

Torque Assist™ Clutch (Fig. C)
The integrated Torque Assist™ clutch
7
is designed to give
the user control by limiting torque as needed. This can
prevent damaging fasteners and reduce kickback in tightening
applications. The Torque Assist™ clutch features two settings
and a max setting to deliver full power.
