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 variable-speed trigger
switch (B). With the impact wrench held in the normal
operating position, pointing away from you:
a. Position the direction-of-rotation selector (C) 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 center (locked) position
helps reduce the possibility of accidental start-up
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. LED Work Light
The LED work light (D), located on the base
of the impact wrench, will illuminate when the
variable-speed trigger switch (B) is depressed.
This provides additional light on the surface of the
workpiece for operation in lower-light areas. The
LED work light will turn off after the variable-speed
trigger switch is released.
a. The LED worklight will blink rapidly if the tool
has stopped working in order to protect internal
circuits; please wait for the tool to cool down,
at which point it can be started again.
b. The LED worklight will blink slowly to indicate
that the battery charge is very low.
