GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using any equipment, certain safety precautions must be taken to avoid injury and/or damage. Please read this manual carefully before using the tool. Keep this operator’s manual for future reference.
CAUTION: Read all safety regulations and instructions. Not following all safety precautions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” used in this manual refers to power tools powered by electricity (with a power cord) and battery-powered power tools (without a power cord).

Workplace safety

Keep your workplace clean and well lit. Untidy or poorly lit workplaces can result in accidents.
Do not use the power tool in an environment where there is a risk of explosion and where there are flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools produce sparks that could ignite dust or vapours.

Electrical safety

The plug from the power tool must be plugged into a properly grounded installed outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Never use adaptor plugs with grounded power tools. Unaltered plugs and correct sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces like refrigerators, pipes and radiators when using electric-powered tools. This will reduce the likelihood of shock.
Do not expose electric power tools to rain or wet conditions. Wet tools increase the likelihood of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
Keep power cords away from heat, water, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. They can damage the insulation and cause a shock.
If you are working outdoors with an electric tool, only use extension cables that are designed and marked specifically for this purpose.
If the operation of the electric tool in a damp environment can not be avoided, use an earth-leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) to reduce the risk of an electric

Personal safety

Be alert, watch your movements and use a power tool with care. Do not use the tool if you are tired or under the influence of medication, alcohol or other substances. A moment of negligence when using the power tool can result in serious injury.
The use of personal protective equipment (such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets or earplugs depending on the type and use of the power tool) reduces the risk of injury. Always wear safety goggles.

Wear suitable work clothes. Keep hair, clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can get caught in moving parts.
If vacuum and drainage devices can be fitted on the tool, make sure that they are correctly connected and used. The use of a dust extraction system can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power tool safety

Do not overstrain the tool. Use the right tool for each task. You will be able to work better and more safely within the specified performance parameters.
Do not use a power tool with a defective power switch. A power tool that cannot be switched on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
Unplug the tool and/or remove the battery before making any adjustments to the tool, switching attachments or putting the tool down or in storage. This safety measure prevents the power tool from starting up unintentionally.
Keep the electric tool out of the reach of children and untrained users. Only people who have read and understand completely all safety instructions can use the power tool. Power tools can be dangerous if used by inexperienced users.
Clean your power tool carefully. Check that the moving parts work properly and do not jam and that there are no parts broken or damaged to such an extent that the operation of the power tool is affected. Contact an authorized service center for any repairs needed before using the tool. Poorly maintained power tools can cause serious damage or harm.
Keep any cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
Use the power tools, accessories, attachments, etc. in accordance with these instructions. Take into account the conditions of your workplace and the task at hand. Using power tools for any purpose other than that for which they are intended can lead to dangerous situations.

The specification of bolt, nut and required torque must accord with the precision class of the bolt, nut and national standard. Use only impact-wrench sockets. Do not use standard sockets.
Do not force tool. When tightening a nut or bolt, never allow the wrench to impact more than 7-8 times to avoid over-tightening. Finish tightens the wheel nuts with a torque wrench or suitable spanner to the wheel nut torque recommended by the tool manufacturer.
Carefully maintain the tool’s power cable. Keep the cable well away from the machine and make sure you are working close to an electrical supply so that the operation is not restricted by the length of the cable. If working outdoors, always use an approved cable extension suitable for the power rating of this tool.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.
Do not use tool if the switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools can be dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep tools in a good condition and make sure they are clean. Properly maintained tools are less likely to malfunction and are easier to control.

NOTE: Torque and speed may vary depending on the operating time. When you want to assemble or disassemble a bolt, you want keep the tool running for more than 5 seconds. Keeping the tool running for more than 5 seconds, does not equal higher torque. The torque will also vary according to the different size of bolt. Not using the appropriate sockets according to the size of the bolt and nut will also impact torque and speed.

The ON/OFF switch has a variable speed control. Lightly pressing the ON/OFF switch will result in a low speed. Increasing the pressure will increase the speed.

Attaching/Removing sockets or accessories
WARNING! Ensure that the correct socket is being used for the nuts on your particular vehicle. An incorrect socket size is likely to damage the heads of the bolts/nuts.

Loosening the nut

Remove any wheel trim, before selecting the appropriate socket and placing firmly on the square drive of the wrench.
Select the appropriate socket and place it firmly on the square drive (2) of the wrench. Holding the machine firmly in both hands, select the direction of rotation (3) to unscrew (counter-clockwise) and press the ON/OFF switch (1). The torque will build up and impact the nut repeatedly until the nut is loosened.
IMPORTANT! Release the trigger immediately when the nut begins to loosen.
Raise the vehicle according to the vehicle’s handbook so that the wheel is clear off the ground, then proceed to fully undo the wheel nuts.

Tightening the nut
