To begin using the tool:

1. As a standard practice, drain water from the air

compressor tank and air lines prior to use each day

(reference your compressor operators manual for detailed

instructions).

2. Install a 1/4" NPT male plug into the air inlet port on the

tool (see Figure B). Note: Use Teflon® Tape on all

threaded connections.

3. Turn on the air compressor and allow it to build up

pressure.

4. Adjust the air compressor's regulator or the supply line

regulator to 90 PSI.

5. Attach the desired 3/8" square drive socket (use 3/8"

deep sockets and only use extensions when needed).

Always use impact-type sockets and

extensions that are designed for ratchet wrenches. Hand tool sockets will shatter and potentially cause

personal injury and/or property damage.

Do not use sockets with excessive wear to the input or output drives. Periodically

check the square drive on the impact wrench. Make sure the socket, extension bar, or other attachment is

securely fitted before operating tool.

When loosening fasteners first ensure that there is sufficient clearance behind the tool

to avoid hand entrapment. The tool will move away from the threaded joint as the nut/bolt is loosened and

rides up the thread, moving the tool with it. Make sure hands are kept away from the sockets during tool

use.

Securely fit the socket or attachment to the impact wrench. Inspect anvil and retaining

ring of tool prior to use. Missing or damaged items should be replaced before use.

Ensure that the forward/reverse switch is in the correct position for tightening or loos-

ening the fastener.

6. Connect the tool to the air hose quick coupler. NOTE: It is recommended that a whip hose with a swivel

(not included) be used to prevent twisting, kinking and excessive wear to the air hose (ref. item "F" in

figure A for recommended connections).

Always grip the air ratchet well to avoid the chance of it being wrenched from your

grasp or the possibility of it throwing you off balance.

7. Select the tool rotation direction. Turn the forward/reverse button to the right (clockwise) for forward or the

left (counterclockwise) for reverse.

a. To remove a fastener, turn the forward/reverse button to "R" (counterclockwise). Grip the wrench with

your hand and place it on the fastener to be loosened. Break the fastener loose by hand, then gently

squeeze the trigger to completely remove it. Release the trigger to stop the tool.

NOTE: Soak rusted nuts in penetrating oil and break the rust seal before removing with the air

ratchet wrench. If the nut does not start to move in three to five seconds, use a larger size air

ratchet wrench. Do not use the air ratchet wrench beyond the rated capacity, as this will
