Air Supply...
Tools of this class operate on a wide range of air pressures. It is
recommended that air pressure of these tools measure 90 PSI at
the tool while running free. Higher pressure (over 90 psig; 6.2
bar) raises performance beyond the rated capacity of the tool
which will shorten the tool’s life because of faster wear and could
cause injury.
Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or water in
the air line will cause damage to the tool. Drain the air tank
daily. Clean the air inlet filter screen on at least a weekly
schedule. The recommended hookup procedure can be viewed in
the above figure.
The air inlet used for connecting air supply, has standard 1/4"
NPT. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for
unusually long air hoses (over 25 feet). Minimum hose diameter
should be 3/8" I.D. and fittings should have the same inside
dimensions and be tightly secured.
Lubrication...
Lubricate the air motor daily with quality air tool oil. If no air line
oiler is used, run a teaspoon of oil through the tool. The oil can
be squirted into the tool air inlet or into the hose at the nearest
connection to the air supply, then run the tool. The amount of oil
to be used is 1 ounce. Overfilling will cause a reduction in the
power of the tool.
Operation...
The air regulator knob can be used as an air throttle, if there are
no other means of regulating air. Turn the air regulator knob all
the way to position 4 for maximum power.
The air regulator can be used to adjust torque to the
approximate tightness of a known fastener.To set the tool to
desired torque, select a nut or screw of known tightness of the
same size, thread pitch and thread condition as those on the job.
Turn air regulator to low position, apply wrench to nut and
gradually increase power (turn regulator to admit more air) until
nut moves slightly in the direction it was originally set. The tool is
now set to duplicate that tightness - note regulator setting for
future use. When tightening nuts not requiring critical torque
values, run nut up flush and then tighten an additional one-
quarter to one-half turn (slight additional turning is necessary if
gaskets are being clamped). For additional power needed on
disassembly work, turn regulator to its fully open position. This
impact wrench is rated at 3/8" USS bolt size. Rating must be
down graded for spring U bolts, tie bolts, long cap screws,
double depth nuts, badly rusted conditions and spring fasteners
as they absorb much of the impact power. When possible, clamp
or wedge the bolt to prevent springback.
Soak rusted nuts in penetrating oil and break rust seal before
removing with impact wrench. If nut does not start to move in
three to five seconds use a larger size impact wrench. Do not use
impact wrench beyond rated capacity as this will drastically
reduce tool life.
The reversing valve is used to change the rotation of the tool.
When the valve is out, the tool is in a forward or right hand
rotation. When the valve is pushed in, the rotation is reverse or
left hand.
NOTE: Actual torque on a fastener is directly related to joint
hardness, tool speed, condition of socket and the time the tool is
allowed to impact.
Use the simplest possible tool-to-socket hook up. Every
connection absorbs energy and reduces power.
