P Air inlet port
M Forward/Reverse button
Q Male connector
N Speed control screw
R Exhaust port
O Trigger
S Teflon tape
compressor tank and air lines prior to use each day
(reference your compressor operators manual for
detailed instructions).
2.
Install a 1/4” NPT male connector (not included) into
the air inlet port on the tool (see Figure 2).
Note:
Use Teflon® Tape on all threaded connections.
3.
Turn on the air compressor and allow it to build up
pressure.
4.
Adjust the air compressor’s regulator or the supply
line regulator to 90 PSI.
5.
Attach the desired 3/8” square drive socket (use 3/8” deep sockets and only use extensions when
needed).
Always use impact-type sockets and extensions that are designed for ratchet
wrenches. Hand tool sockets will shatter and potentially cause personal injury and/or
property damage.
6. Connect the tool to the air hose quick coupler.
NOTE: It is recommended that a whip hose with a swivel
(P012-0079SP - not included) be used to prevent twisting, kinking and excessive wear to the air hose
(ref. item “F” in figure 1 for recommended connections).
Always grip the air ratchet well to avoid the chance of it being wrenched from your
grasp or the possibility of it throwing you off balance.
7.
Select the tool rotation direction. Push in and turn the forward/reverse button to the right (clockwise) for
forward or the left (counterclockwise) for reverse.
a.
To remove a fastener, push in and turn the forward/reverse button to “R” (counterclockwise). Grip the
wrench with your hand and place it on the fastener to be loosened. Break the fastener loose by hand,
then gently squeeze the trigger to completely remove it. Release the trigger to stop the tool.
NOTE: Soak rusted nuts in penetrating oil and break the rust seal before removing with the air
ratchet wrench. If the nut does not start to move in three to five seconds, use a larger size air
ratchet wrench. Do not use the air ratchet wrench beyond the rated capacity, as this will
drastically reduce the tool life.
b.
To tighten a fastener, push in and turn the forward/reverse button to “F” (clockwise). Start the
fastener by hand then grip the ratchet wrench with your hand and place it on the fastener to be
tightened. Gently squeeze the trigger to tighten down the fastener. Drive the fastener until the ratchet
stalls, release the trigger to stop the tool, and then tighten further by operating the air ratchet wrench in
the same manner as you would operate a manually operated ratchet wrench.
c. To adjust the speed of the tool, turn the speed control screw to the left (counterclockwise) to decrease
