Whipping air hoses can cause injury.
Air hoses that are not oil resistant or are not rated for the working pressure can burst.
Make sure that all air hoses are oil resistant and rated for the working pressure.
Air hoses that burst can cause injury.
Tools not operated at proper air pressure can operate erratically.
Do not exceed a maximum air pressure of 90 psig/6.2 bar or as stated on the tool’s nameplate or operating instructions. Use an air
regulator to maintain proper air pressure.

INTENDED USE
This tool is intended to drive threaded fastener to join wood, metal and other materials.
GENERAL OPERATION
This tool is equipped with a teasing throttle. By slightly depressing the trigger the bit will rotate slowly. This is useful for starting fastener. The tool will run
at maximum speed when the trigger is fully depressed.
CLUTCH OPERATION INFORMATION
STALL DRIVE ...................................................................................................... Spindle turns with motor. Motor stalls when fastener is tight.
POSITIVE CLUTCH-ANGULAR JAW .................................................................. Spindle doesn’t turn with motor. Pressure on spindle engages angular
jaws to turn spindle. Clutch ratchets when certain tightness is reached.
Torque on the fastener is determined by how hard the operator pushes on
the tool.
ADJUSTABLE CLUTCH ...................................................................................... Spindle doesn’t turn with motor. Pressure on spindle engages the clutch,
causing the spindle to turn. When fastener reaches a preset torque, clutch
will ratchet. Adjusting spring pressure will change torque.
