ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

 

Always be sure that the tool is 

switched off and the battery cartridge is removed 

before carrying out any work on the tool.

Selecting correct impact socket

Always use the correct size impact socket for bolts and 

nuts. An incorrect size impact socket will result in inac

-

curate and inconsistent fastening torque and/or damage 

to the bolt or nut.

 Screw

The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool. 

This can be installed on either side of the tool. To install 

the hook, insert it into a groove in the tool housing on 

either side and then secure it with a screw. To remove, 

loosen the screw and then take it out.

OPERATION

CAUTION:

 

Always insert the battery cartridge 

all the way until it locks in place.

 If you can see the 

red indicator on the upper side of the button, it is not 

locked completely. Insert it fully until the red indicator 

cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of 

the tool, causing injury to you or someone around 

you.

Hold the tool firmly and place the impact socket over 

the bolt or nut. Turn the tool on and fasten for the proper 

fastening time.

The proper fastening torque may differ depending upon 

the kind or size of the bolt, the material of the workpiece 

to be fastened, etc. The relation between fastening 

torque and fastening time is shown in the figures.
