Do not use this product if it is not completely assembled or if any parts appear to be missing or damaged. Use of a product that is not properly and completely assembled or with damaged or missing parts could result in serious personal injury.
Do not attempt to modify this product or create accessories or attachments not recommended for use with this product. Any such alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal injury.
If any parts are damaged or missing, please call 1-800-525-2579 for assistance.
Do not allow familiarity with this product to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.
Always remove battery pack from the tool when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious personal injury.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with hearing protection. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes and other possible serious injuries.
Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this product. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury.
When the tool is forced or overloaded, the Li-ion battery pack will automatically shut off the tool. To reset the tool, release the trigger and resume operation. If the tool still does not resume operation, remove and reinsert the battery. Do not force the tool.
Li-ion battery packs are equipped with a high temperature protection feature that automatically deactivates the tool when the motor is overheated. To resume operation, allow the tool to cool and then squeeze the trigger.
The belt clip (not included) can be installed on either side of the tool.
For complete charging instructions, see the operator's manuals for your battery pack and charger.
The ratchet head may become hot during periods of extended use or when the tool is under stress. Allow the ratchet head to cool completely before touching the ratchet head. Touching a hot ratchet head could result in burns or other injuries.
NOTE: The head can be set to 0˚, 90˚, 180˚, and 270˚. Once the ratchet head is in one of the four indexed positions, the spring loaded collar will snap back into place.
The lockout lever reduces the possibility of accidental starting. The lockout lever is located on the handle above the switch trigger. The lockout lever must be in the unlocked position before you pull the switch trigger. When not in use, slide the lockout lever down to lock the switch trigger.
See Figure 5
The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed with increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased trigger pressure.
To turn the tool ON, slide the lockout lever to the unlocked position and depress the switch trigger and fasten or loosen as desired. To turn it OFF, release the switch trigger and allow the tool to come to a complete stop.
Battery tools are always in operating condition. Lock the switch when not in use or carrying at your side, when installing or removing the battery pack, and when installing or removing sockets.
The LED lights near the collar illuminate when the switch trigger is depressed.
The LED lights illuminate only when there is a charged battery pack in the tool.
See Figure 6
The 1/2 in. anvil has a 1/4 in. collet located in the middle of the anvil. The double-sided anvil has a 3/8 in. anvil on one side and a 1/4 in. anvil on the other side.
To install:
To remove:
NOTE: Do not place the ratchet head directly on the fastener. Always attach the appropriately sized socket onto one of the provided anvils.
See Figure 6
Always select the correct size socket for nuts and bolts. Using the wrong size socket may damage the nut or bolt and cause the fastening torque to be inaccurate or inconsistent. Change anvils for different drive sizes.
Do not drive a bolt where there is likely to be hidden wiring behind the surface. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator. If you must drive a bolt where hidden wire could be present, always hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces (handle) when performing the operation to prevent a shock to the operator.
NOTICE:
The ratchet is not designed to be used as a drill.
Proper fastening torque is determined by the kind of bolt, the size of the bolt, or the material of the workpiece. This tool is designed only to speed the installation and removal process and is not intended to replace a torque wrench or breaker bar. For applications where proper torque is important, always use a torque wrench to verify that proper torque is achieved.
NOTE: Do not use this tool to install lug nuts on wheels.
NOTE: After fastening, always check the torque with a torque wrench.
