Tools of this class operate on a wide range of air pressure. It is recommended that air pressure of these tools measures 90 PSI at the tool while running free. Higher pressure and unclean air will shorten the tool’s life because of faster wear and may create a hazardous condition and void the warranty. Water in the air line will cause damage to the tool. Drain the air tank daily. Clean the air inlet filter screen on at least a weekly schedule. The recommended hookup procedure can be viewed in the illustration below. The air inlet, used for connecting air supply, has standard 1/4” NPT/BSP Thread. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 25 feet). Minimum hose diameter should be 1/2” I.D. and Sittings should have the same inside dimensions.
Operating Instructions
This impact wrench should never be used to set torque. Use a torque wrench to
set the torque.
To remove nuts, set the regulator to the maximum setting. To install nuts, set
the regulator to the minimum to medium setting. Do not over tighten the nuts.
Warning: Never trigger the tool when not applied to a work object.
Attachments such as torque socket bars or extensions will reduce the life of
the tool, however, if used, they must be securely attached. Loose attachments
can cause serious injury.
