Removing/Inserting the Battery To remove the battery, push in the release buttons and pull the battery pack away from the tool. WARNING Always lock the trigger or the battery pack any time remove the tool is not in use. To insert the battery, slide the pack into the body of the tool. Make sure it latches securely into place. Attaching and Removing the Tool Hanger 1. To attach, place the hanger ring through the tool hanger. 2. Position the tool hanger on the tool over the two screw holes. 3. Insert the two screws. Hand tighten the screws. 4. To remove, reverse the procedure. WARNING Only use accessories recommended for this specifically tool. Others may be hazardous. Use only sockets and other accessories specifi- cally designed for use on impact wrenches. Other sockets and accessories might shatter or break causing injury. Attaching and Removing Accessories 1/2" Impact Wrench with Pin Detent (Cat. No. 2966-20) 1. WARNING! Remove battery to avoid starting the tool. 2. Use only the appropriate size Square Drive Sockets. 3. To attach a socket, align the hole in the accessory with the detent pin on the anvil. Hold the detent pin in while pushing the socket onto the anvil. The detent pin will snap into place in the hole to secure the socket. 4. To remove the socket, insert a nail or other thin object into the hole in the accessory and press in the detent pin. Pull the accessory off the anvil. 1/2" Impact Wrench with Friction Ring (Cat. No. 2967-20) 1. WARNING! Remove battery to avoid starting the tool. 2. Use only the appropriate size Square Drive Sockets. 3. To attach a socket, align the accessory with the anvil and push it firmly over the retaining ring. 4. To remove the accessory, pull the accessory off the anvil. OPERATION WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, always wear proper eye protection marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Using the Drive Control The drive control button is used to adjust the torque, rotation speed (RPM), and impact speed (IPM) for the application. To 1. select the drive control mode: Pull and release the trigger Drive Control Button to turn on the tool. The cur- rent mode indicator is lit. 2. Press the drive control but- ton to cycle through the 4 modes. When the desired mode indicator is lit, begin work. Mode Indicator Cat.

To help prevent damaging the fasteners or workpieces, avoid excessive impacting. Be particularly careful when impacting smaller fasteners because they require less impacting to reach optimum torque. Practice with various fasteners, noting the length of time required to reach the desired torque. Check the tightness with a hand-torque wrench. If the fasteners are too tight, reduce the impacting time. If they are not tight enough, increase the impacting time. Oil, dirt, rust or other matter on the threads or under the head of the fastener affects the degree of tightness. The torque required to loosen a fastener averages 75% to 80% of the tightening torque, depending on the condition of the contacting surfaces. On light gasket jobs, run each fastener down to a relatively light torque and use a hand torque wrench for final tightening. *Torque values depend on many factors such as state of battery discharge, battery size, impacting time, bolt size, etc. Always check with a torque wrench to ensure desired torque value is achieved. This is not a precision fastening tool. † Auto Shut-Off Mode In mode, when run in reverse, the tool will spin at the above RPM and IPM until the nut breaks free from the joint. Then, the tool slows to 750 RPM for better control in removing the nut. Using the Control Switch The control switch may be set to three positions: forward, reverse and lock. Due to a lockout mechanism, the control switch can only be adjusted when the ON/OFF switch is not pressed. Always allow the motor to come to a complete stop before using the control switch. For forward (clockwise) rotation, push in the control switch from the right side of the tool. Check the direction of rotation before use. For reverse (counterclockwise) rotation, push in the control switch from the left side of the tool. Check direction of rotation before use. To lock the trigger, push the control switch to the center position. The trigger will not work while the control switch is in the center locked position. Always lock the trigger or remove the battery pack before performing maintenance, changing accessories, storing the tool and any time the tool is not in use. MAINTENANCE WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the charger and remove the battery pack from the charger or tool before performing any maintenance. Never disassemble the battery pack, charger, or tool, except as pro- vided in these instructions. Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for all other repairs. Maintaining Tool Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good repair by adopting a regular maintenance program. Inspect your tool for issues such as undue noise, misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, or any other condition that may affect the tool operation. Return the tool, battery pack, and charger to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair. After six months to one year, depending on use, return the tool, battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE service facility for inspection. If the tool does not start or operate at full power with a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts on the battery pack. If the tool still does not work properly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs. WARNING To reduce the risk jury and damage, of personal innever immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or allow a liquid to flow inside them. Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed 1. To start the tool, grasp the handle(s) firmly and pull the trigger. NOTE: An LED is turned on when the trigger is pulled and will go off shortly after the trigger is released. 2. To vary the speed, increase or decrease the pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger is pulled, the greater the speed. 3. To stop the tool, release the trigger. Ensure the tool has come to a complete stop before laying the tool down. Cleaning Clean dust and debris from any vents. Keep tool clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean, since certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of these include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around tools. Repairs For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and charger to the nearest authorized service center.
