OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3. Direction-Of-Rotation Selector
(Forward/Center Lock/Reverse)
The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is
controlled by a selector located above the trigger
switch (A). With the impact wrench held in the normal
operating position, pointing away from you:
a. Position the direction-of-rotation selector (B) to the
left of the tool for forward rotation.
b. Position the direction-of-rotation selector to the right
of the tool for reverse rotation.
c. Setting the switch in the OFF (center lock) position
helps reduce the possibility of accidental starting
when not in use.
NOTICE: To prevent gear damage, always allow the
impact wrench to come to a complete stop before
changing the direction of rotation.
NOTICE: The impact wrench will not run unless the
direction-of-rotation selector is engaged fully to the left or
right.
4. Installing and Removing Socket
a. Lock the trigger switch by placing the direction-of-
rotation-selector (B) in the OFF (center) position.
b. To install a 1/2 in. socket, simply push it completely
onto the square driver (C). To remove, pull it off the
square driver.
WARNING: Only use sockets designed for impact
wrenches. Sockets not designed for impact wrenches
could break and result in user injury. Inspect sockets prior
to use to ensure that they have no cracks or other visible
damage.
