The longer a bolt, screw, or nut is impacted,

WARNING

When tool is not in use, lock trigger to prevent the tool from being acciden- tally turned on.

Using the Forward/Reverse Switch

The forward/reverse switch may be set to three positions: forward, reverse and lock. Due to a lockout mechanism, the forward/ reverse switch can only be adjusted when the trigger is not depressed. Always allow the motor to come to a complete stop before using the forward/reverse switch.

Forward/ Reverse switch

Reverse

1.For forward (clockwise) rotation, push the forward/reverse switch in the direc- tion shown. Check the direction of rota- tion before use.

2.For reverse (counterclockwise) rotation, push the forward/reverse switch in the direction shown. Check the direction of rotation before use.

3.To lock the trigger, push the forward/re- verse switch to the center position. The trigger will not work when the forward/ reverse switch is in the locked position. Always lock the trigger or remove the battery pack before performing mainte- nance, changing accessories, storing the tool and any time the tool is not in use.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, keep hands and away from the bit and all moving parts.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of explosion, electric shock and property damage, always check the work area for hidden pipes and wires before drilling.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, only grasp tool by handle and red insulated sur- faces (Fig. 8). Do not hold gray gear case when impacting or drilling.

This impact wrench may be operated at any speed from 0 to full speed.

1.To start the tool, pull the trigger.

2.To vary the driving speed, increase or decrease pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger is pulled, the greater the speed.

3.To stop the tool, release the trigger.

the tighter it will become. To help prevent damaging the fasteners or workpieces, avoid excessive impacting. Be particularly careful when impacting smaller fasteners because they require less impacting to reach optimum torque.

Practice with various fasteners, noting the length of time required to reach the desired torque. Check the tightness with a hand- torque wrench. If the fasteners are too tight, reduce the impacting time. If they are not tight enough, increase the impacting time.

Impacting for two seconds is generally sufﬁ- cient for a 3/8" bolt and one second for a 5/16" bolt. However, oil, dirt, rust or other matter on the threads or under the head of the fastener affects the degree of tightness.

The torque required to loosen a fastener av- erages 75% to 80% of the tightening torque, depending on the condition of the contacting surfaces. However, if rust or corrosion causes seizing, more torque may be required.

On light gasket jobs, run each fastener down to a relatively light torque and use a hand torque wrench for ﬁnal tightening.
