ADJUSTMENTS
SETTING THE POWER REGULATOR
WARNING! Impact wrenches are not torque control devices. Fasteners with specific torque
requirements must be checked with suitable torque measuring devices after installation with an
impact wrench.
Impact Wrenches incorporate a power regulator into the reverse mechanism that allows the
operator to have either full power output in one direction and reduced power output in the other
direction or full power output in both directions. To adjust the power, proceed as follows:
For full power in both directions. rotate the reverse valve until the notch on each end of the
reverse valve aligns with the number 5 on each side of the housing.
NOTICE! The numbers 0 thru 5 on the housing are only for reference and DO NOT denote a
specific power output. Zero (0) designates the lowest power output while five (5) denotes the
highest.
