OPERATION INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK See Figure 3, page 8. To install, lock the switch trigger and insert the battery pack. Make sure the latches on the side of the battery pack snap into place and that battery pack is secured in the product before beginning operation. To remove, depress the latches. For complete charging instructions, see the operator's manuals for your battery pack and charger. TRI-BEAM LED LIGHTS See Figure 4, page 8. The tri-beam LED lights around the anvil illuminate when the switch trigger is depressed. If the tool is not in use, the time-out feature will cause the light to start fading and then shut off. The tri-beam LED lights illuminate only when there is a charged battery pack in the tool. INSTALLING AND REMOVING SOCKETS See Figure 5, page 9. 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. SPEED SELECTOR See Figure 6, page 9. The speed of the impact wrench can be changed for various applications. LOW (1) Speed (0-1,700 RPM) MEDIUM (2) Speed (0-2,500 RPM) HIGH (3) Speed (0-3,200 RPM) NOTICE: Never change speeds while the tool is running. Doing so may result in serious damage to the tool. OPERATING THE IMPACT WRENCH See Figures 7 - 8, page 9. 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 available torque of the fastener to vary considerably. The optimum impact time is approximately 6 seconds. 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.
