1. All air tools are packed in grease to prevent corrosion of internal parts during shipping and storage. We
recommend you clean this out to have optimum performance from your new air tool. Add a generous amount
air tool oil in the air inlet then run the tool under no load until exhaust is clear to remove packing grease. To
maintain, add only one or two drops daily.
2. It is very important that the tool be properly lubricated. Without proper lubrication, the tool will not work
properly and parts will wear prematurely. Manually dropping a drop or two of air tool oil once a day into the
tool’s male connector is better than using an automatic in-line lubricator, which should only be required when
there are multiple users of the same tool.
3. Keep the air line lubricator filled and correctly adjusted. The in-line lubricator should be regularly checked and
filled with air tool oil. Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of paper next
to the exhaust ports and holding the throttle open approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator is properly set
when a light stain of oil collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided.
4. Air tool oil is the only recommended lubricant for use in all air tools. Do not try to use other types of lubricants
to oil your tools. Using the wrong lubricant will cause premature tool failure and/or loss of power. Use
only recommended lubricants, specially made for pneumatic applications. Substitutes may harm the rubber
compounds in the tool’s O-rings and other rubber parts.
5. Oiling your air tool regularly is important, but it is also important not to OVER oil your air tool. Over oiling can
cause premature tool failure. Your tool may not be ruined, but it will begin to experience loss of power that will
continually get worse until it no longer works. The tool then has to be taken apart and cleaned of excess oil.
6. In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time (overnight, weekend,
etc.), it should receive a generous amount of lubrication at that time. The tool should be run for approximately
30 seconds to ensure oil has been evenly distributed throughout the tool. The tool should be stored in a clean
and dry environment.
WarnInG! never use WD-40 to clean or lubricate your air tool. WD-40 is a solvent that will break down the
internal grease and cause the air tool to seize up.

Turn off the air compressor and disconnect the air hose when changing sockets. After attaching the socket, attach the
air hose and turn the air compressor on.
The working torque of the impact wrench is 750 ft-lb. Make sure that the nut or bolt you are using the tool to tighten
can withstand the rated torque and is rated for 6,500 RPM or greater. If available, check the recommended torque
specifications for the nut.
1. Select the appropriately sized 1” drive impact socket for the job.
n.b. Only use impact sockets which are specifically designed for use with a impact wrench.
Do not use worn or damaged sockets.
2. Push and snap the socket (not included) onto the anvil.
OperatIOn
Warning! this tool generates considerable torque when in use. always hold the tool with both hands when using,
and brace yourself to resist the torque which will be delivered to the work piece.
1. Tighten the nut as far as you can by hand before using the impact wrench.
2. Connect the impact wrench to the air hose.
3. Place the socket on the nut and grip the impact wrench tightly with both hands. Press the trigger
to start the tool.
