Operation

1. Install a standard 1/4” Air Connector (not included) to the Air Inlet (36). First

wrapthethreaded portion of the1/4”air connector with pipethreadseal tape

before threading it into the Air Inlet (36).Tighten securely.

2. Attach a standard quick connector (not included) to your 3/8” air pressure

source hose. Then attach the air hose to the Air Impact Wrench.

NOTE:If you are not using an automatic in-line oiler, add a few drops of pneumatic

oil to the Air Inlet (36) before attaching the air hose. Add a few more drops of oil

aftereveryhourofcontinualuse.

3. Set the air pressure regulator on your air compressor at 90 psi.

WARNING: Donot exceedthe recommended pressure of90 psi.Damage to your

tool,and possiblepersonal injury and/or property damage mayresult.

4. Check the air line and its connections for air leaks. Make note of these, and

repairthembefore using this tool.

NOTE: Turnoffyouraircompressoranddisconnecttheairpressurehosebefore

changing sockets or making any adjustments to this tool. Severe injury or property

damagemayotherwiseresult.

WARNING:This tool generates considerable torque when in use.Always hold the

tool with both hands when using, and brace yourself to resist the torque which will

bedeliveredtothework piece.

5. Select the appropriate size 3/8” square drive impact socket (not included) for

your needs. Push and snap the socket onto the Anvil (9).

6. Set the direction of the Air Impact

Wrenchto“FORWARD”or

“REVERSE”. Please see photo. By

movingthe ThrottleLever“Butterfly”

(5) to the right, you are setting the

tool to operate FORWARD.You may

control the amount of torque to be

appliedbyrotatingtheRegulator(38)

(Seephotonextpage).

Thereare

settings from 1 through 8, indicating

increasingtorque.RocktheThrottle

Lever “Butterfly” (5) to the left to REVERSE the direction of the tool.

NOTE:In this booklet, “FORWARD”refers to clockwise rotation,and “REVERSE”

refersto counterclockwise rotation ofthe Anvil (9). Always be aware of the direction

of the threading of the fastener you are working on. While most fasteners install

withclockwiserotation, some threads areintentionally the reverse.

NOTE:Theactual torque deliveredateach of the eight

settings will depend on the air pressure supplied to the

tool.We suggest that you test the actual torque by

tightening a nut or bolt at each setting, then observing

the resultant torque by using a mechanical torque

wrench(notsupplied).

7. If installing a nut or bolt, set it as tight as possible by

handbeforetighteningwiththeAirImpactWrench.

8. Place the socket (not included) over the fastener.

9. Grip the Air ImpactWrench tightly with both hands,

and rock theThrottle Lever“Butterfly”(5) to the

right.The toolwill operate and tightenthefastener.

10. When the fastener is tightened, release theThrottle Lever “Butterfly”(5) , and

remove the tool from the fastener.

11. If possible, check the actual torque applied to the fastener with a mechanical

torquewrench(notsupplied).

12. If removing a fastener, grip the Air Impact Wrench tightly with both hands, and

rock theThrottle Lever“Butterfly”(5) to the left.The tool will operate and

loosen the fastener (assuming that the fastener is a standard right-hand

thread).NOTE: Always check to be sure of the thread direction of any

fastener before attempting to install or remove it. If the fastener is a left-hand

thread, rock theThrottle Lever “Butterfly”(5) to the right for removal.

WARNING:If the fastener will not come off,first check to be sure of the

direction of the thread. If you have the thread direction correct and the fas-

tener will not come off,DO NOT INCREASETHE AIR PRESSURE to the tool

beyond 90 psi.This may damage the tool.You may have to use penetrating

oil,heat,or a mechanical wrench to remove the fastener.

13. When you are done using this tool, turn off the air compressor, and disconnect

the air hose.Put the Air Impact Wrench away in its proper storage place.
