OPERATION
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless.
Remember that a careless fraction of a second is suf-
ficient to inflict severe injury.
WARNING:
Always remove battery pack from the tool when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or when
not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible
serious injury.
APPLICATIONS
You may use this tool for the purposes listed below:
Tightening and loosening nuts and bolts using an impact
socket
VARIABLE SPEED SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 1, page 10.
The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed with
increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased
trigger pressure.
To turn the tool
ON
, depress the switch trigger. To turn it
OFF
, release the switch trigger and allow the anvil to come
to a complete stop.
NOTE
: A whistling or ringing noise coming from the switch
during use is a normal part of the switch function.
NOTE:
Running at low speeds under constant usage may
cause the tool to become overheated. If this occurs, cool
the tool by running it without a load and at full speed.
DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)
See Figure 1, page 10.
Set the direction of rotation selector in the
OFF
(center lock)
position to lock the switch trigger and help prevent accidental
starting when not in use.
Position the direction of rotation selector to the left of the
switch trigger for forward operation. Position the selector to
the right of the switch trigger to reverse the direction.
NOTE:
The tool will not run unless the direction of rotation
selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
NOTICE:
To prevent gear damage, always allow the anvil to come
to a complete stop before changing the direction of
rotation.
WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating condition. Lock the
switch when not in use or carrying at your side, when in-
stalling or removing the battery pack, and when installing
or removing sockets.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK
See Figure 2, page 10.
To install
, lock the switch trigger and insert the battery
pack.
Make sure the latches on the side of the battery pack
snaps in place and that battery pack is secured in the
product before beginning operation.
To remove
, depress the latches.
TRI-BEAM LED LIGHTS
See Figure 3, page 10.
The tri-beam LED lights around the anvil illuminate when the
switch trigger is depressed.
If the tool is not in use, the time-out feature will cause the
light to start fading and then shut off.
The tri-beam LED lights illuminate only when there is a
charged battery pack in the tool.
