HOW TO USE:

1. Connect Air Supply: Ensure your air compressor is set to a maximum of 90 PSI and connect a 3/8 inch minimum diameter air hose to the 1/4 inch NPT air inlet on the impact wrench.
2. Select Socket: Choose the appropriate 1/2″ drive impact-grade socket for the fastener you intend to work on and securely attach it to the tool’s square drive.
3. Adjust Direction and Speed: Use the 4-position swivel disc to select the desired direction (forward for tightening, reverse for loosening) and one of the four available speed settings. For initial loosening, start with the highest reverse setting. For tightening, use a lower setting and finish with a torque wrench for precise specification.
4. Engage Fastener: Position the socket firmly onto the fastener (nut or bolt head).
5. Activate Tool: Press the low-pressure activation trigger to begin operation. Apply steady pressure to keep the socket engaged with the fastener.
6. Monitor Progress: Listen to the tool’s operation and observe the fastener’s movement. Release the trigger once the fastener is adequately tightened or loosened.
7. Disconnect: After use, disconnect the air supply to the tool and store it in a dry, clean place.
