Tightening

Step 1: Verify that the power level is correct for your needs and that the REVERSE VALVE (#48) has been shifted (pressed) completely to the left. If not, refer to Steps 5 through 9 under Use before proceeding.

Step 2: Place your work in as clear a location as possible. Make sure the air hose will reach as far as needed without stressing any connections.

Step 3: Thread the nut or bolt on as far as possible by hand. This is to prevent cross-threading.

Step 4: If you have torque specs for the nut or bolt you are working on, refer to them. If a low torque setting is given, it is recommended that you use a socket wrench or a manual torque wrench to tighten as the Impact Wrench may provide too much torque, even in the lowest power setting.

Step 5: Place the socket onto the nut or bolt.

Step 6: Grip the Impact Wrench with both hands, especially with higher power settings. Make sure you are in a stable position and spread your feet shoulder-width apart.

Step 7: Press the TRIGGER to tighten the bolt.

Step 8: When the bolt is tight, release the TRIGGER. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!
