5. OPERATION
WARNING: Ensure you read, understand and apply safety
instructions before use.
General operation instructions
•
Attach an air hose (not included) to the compressor’s air outlet. Connect
the air hose to the air inlet of the ratchet wrench.
•
The air hose must be long enough to reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
•
Turn on the air compressor according to the manufacturer’s directions
and allow it to build up pressure until it cycles off.
•
Push and snap socket (not included) onto the anvil.
•
The wrench can be used in either forward or reverse direction by
adjusting the reverse switch.
•
To tighten, place the socket over the nut you wish to tighten.
•
Hold the handle firmly and place other hand on top of housing. Then gently
squeeze the trigger.
•
If tool requires more force to accomplish task in forward or reverse setting,
verify that the tool receives sufficient, unobstructed airflow and increase the
pressure output of regulator up to maximum air pressure rating of tool.
CAUTION
! Do not exceed tool’s maximum air pressure rating (6.3 bar).
•
If tool still does not have sufficient force at maximum pressure and sufficient
airflow, then a larger tool may be required. When the nut is tightened or
loosened, release the trigger.
Loading and operation
•
Only use sockets which are specifically designed for use with the wrench.
•
Changing sockets
Disconnect the tool from the source o f compressed air.
Remove the socket you no longer wish to use from the anvil.
Subsequently fit the new socket to the square drive as described
above.
DO NOT use any additional force upon the wrench in order to
remove a nut.
DO NOT allow wrench to free run for an extended period of time
as this will shorten its life.
