OPERATION INSTALLING AND REMOVING SOCKETS See Figure 4, page 10. Use only sockets designed for impact wrenches. Always select the correct size impact socket for nuts and bolts. CAUTION: Using the wrong size socket may damage the nut or bolt and cause the fastening torque to be inaccurate or inconsistent. Remove the battery pack. Push the socket onto the anvil until the friction ring locks it into place. To remove the socket, pull it away from the anvil. MODE SELECTOR See Figure 5, page 10. Press the mode selector to cycle between Low (1) speed, Medium (2) speed, High (3) speed, and Auto Mode (A). Auto Mode offers protection from over-tightening fasteners. It allows for greater control, reducing damage to fasteners and work surfaces. If the tool is in Auto Mode and running in the forward direction, it will automatically shut down once it starts impacting. If the tool is in Auto Mode and running in the reverse direction, it will automatically shut down after impacting has completed. The range of speeds available in each setting are: Low (1 0-1,200 RPM Medium (2 0-2,000 RPM High (3 0-2,800 RPM Auto Mode (A 0-2,000 RPM NOTICE: Never change modes while the tool is running. Doing so may result in serious damage to the tool. OPERATING THE IMPACT WRENCH See Figures 6 - 7, page 11. CAUTION: The metal surface may become hot during use. Avoid contact with it to avoid possible burn injury. Proper fastening torque may be determined by the kind of bolt, the size of the bolt or the material or the workpiece. It is helpful to perform a test operation to determine the proper fastening time for the nut or bolt you are using. Hold the tool pointed straight at the nut or bolt. Depress the switch and fasten for the proper fastening time. Remove the impact wrench from the nut or bolt. Check the torque with a torque wrench. NOTICE: Do not use this tool to install lug nuts on wheels without a torque limiting device. Doing so may result in galled or broken lugs. IMPACT TIME Many variables exist that will cause the maximum torque to the fastener to vary considerably, including the size and threading of the fastener, lubrication, material hardness, and environmental conditions. NOTE: Using a universal joint or extension bar may reduce the fastening force of the impact wrench and require longer fastening time. NOTICE: After the head of a nut or bolt has seated, additional impacting will increase the chance of shearing bolts, nuts, sockets or tearing into wood. ELECTRIC BRAKE The electric brake will stop the socket rotation after the operator releases the switch trigger.
