adapters absorb impact power and could break. Use deep sockets wherever
possible.

Never operate the tool off of the work. It may run too fast and cause the accessory
to be thrown off the tool.

Serious injury can result from over-torqued or under-torqued fasteners, which
can break, or loosen and separate. Released assemblies can become
projectiles. Assemblies requiring a specific torque must be checked using a
torque meter.

Note: So-called "click" torque wrenches do not check for potentially dangerous
over-torque conditions.

Workplace Hazards

Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or death. Beware of excess hose
left on the walking or work surface.

High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. Use hearing protection as
recommended by your employer or OSHA regulation (see 29 CFR part 1910).

Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.

Be in control of the throttle at all times. Do not get caught between the tool and the
work.

Repetitive work motions, awkward positions and exposure to vibration can be
harmful to hands and arms. If numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin
occurs, stop using the tool and consult a physician.

Avoid inhaling dust or handling debris from the work process which can be
harmful to your health. Use dust extraction and wear respiratory protective
equipment when working with materials which produce airborne particles.

Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. Be aware of potential hazards
created by your work activity. This tool is not insulated for coming into contact with
electric power sources.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:

- Lead from lead based paints
- Crystalline silica bricks and cement and other masonry products
- And Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated rubber

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

This product is designed for installing and removing threaded fasteners in wood, metal
and plastic. No other use is permitted. For professional use only.

Air Supply Requirements

1. Supply tool with 90 psig (6.2 bar) of clean, dry air. Higher pressure drastically reduces

tool life.

2. Connect tool to air line using pipe, hose, and fitting sizes shown in the diagram on

page 12.

Lubrication

1. Use an air line lubricator with SAE #10 oil, adjusted to two (2) drops per minute. If an

air line lubricator cannot be used, add air motor oil to the inlet once a day.

2. Check clutch oil once each month. Use 1/3 oz. (10 ml) of SAE #30 oil or equivalent.

Operation

1. This impact wrench is equipped with a regulator to enable adjustment of output power.

Turn regulator knob counter-clockwise for maximum power, clockwise to reduce
power.

Sound pressure level 87.4 dB(A) in accordance with ISO 15744-2004. For sound
power, add 11 dB(A).

Maintenance

2. When tightening nuts not requiring critical torque values, run nut up snug and then

tighten an additional one-quarter to one-half turn.

Noise & Vibration Declaration*

Vibration value 4.9 m/s , re. ISO 8662-1.

1. Disassemble and inspect air motor and impacting clutch every three (3) months if the

tool is used every day. Replace damaged or worn parts.

2. High wear parts are underlined in the parts list.
