Inserting a 3/8 square drive socket
Select the socket which correctly
fits the nut or bolt being tighter or
removed. Ensure the socket is
exactly the correct size.
Fit the square 3/8 hole onto the
output shaft of the impact wrench
and push all the way onto the
shaft.
The socket is retained on the shaft via a retaining ring at the
front of the shaft and this creates a small resistance when
fitting and removing the socket.
To remove the socket, Pull the socket firmly off the wrench
shaft. The socket will slide along the shaft for a short way
and then will need increased force to fully remove.
Inserting a driver or nut setter bit into the
impact driver attachment.
Fit the adaptor on to the impact
wrench. Slide the chuck sleeve
FULLY forward and insert the
6.35 mm hex drive bit into the hex
hole (chuck) of the adaptor. Fully
insert and then release the chuck
sleeve.
Grasp the driver bit and slowly
pull the bit out of the chuck until
the sleeve “click” into place,
retaining the driver bit.
To release a driver bit, slide the
chuck sleeve fully forward and
remove the bit from the chuck.
Impact wrench safety features
Wrench Overload
This wrench is fitted with an overload protection. If the
wrench is excessively forced, or the task being performed
is too great for the wrench, the wrench will automatically
go into an overload mode. When the wrench goes into
overload, the wrench will automatically and suddenly STOP.
To reset the overload, simply release the trigger. When the
trigger is pressed again, the wrench will restart. It is unlikely
the wrench will be overloaded as the wrench is fitted with an
internal clutch to operate the impacts thus the load is limited
to this clutch force.
CAUTION.
Do not continue to overload the wrench and
constantly reset the overload. Doing this will cause the
battery cells to over heat.
Temperature Cut Out
If the wrench is constantly overloaded, or the wrench
is used constantly at maximum rating in high ambient
conditions, the battery cells may over heat causing the
battery pack
to shut down.
The yellow indicator on the battery pack will stay illuminated
in this condition. When this occurs you will need to
immediately stop the Impact Driver/Wrench and allow the
battery cells to reduce the temperature.
To reduce the temperature of the cells remove the battery
pack from the wrench and place the battery pack in a free
air environment, out of direct sunlight or any other heat
source.
DO NOT force cool the pack in any way. Do not place in
refrigerators or freezers.
When the battery pack has cooled down it can again be
used to operate the wrench, as long as the load or the
conditions causing the original excessive temperature
has been corrected.
