(POWER MODE)

TRIGGER "ON-OFF" SWITCH

TO TURN THE TOOL "ON" squeeze the trigger switch. TO TURN THE TOOL "OFF", release the trigger switch, which is spring loaded and will return to the "OFF" position automatically (Fig. 7).

The power mode is only intended to run bolts and nuts down and snug up. The power mode is not intended for breakaway torque of bolts and nuts as the action is not impacting and this may cause the housing to break or other failures to occur is attempted. Use the power wrench in manual mode to fully tighten / break away bolts or nuts then use power mode to fasten / unfasten them.

STALL PROTECTION

This tool has a stall protection feature built into it to protect the motor and battery in the event of a stall. While in the power mode, if you stall the tool for too long or repeatedly, it

will automatically turn itself off. Simply turn the tool off for 3 seconds, then turn it back on again to continue using it. When the

battery becomes close to empty, the tool may shut down automatically more frequently than normal. If this happens, it is time to recharge the battery.

(MANUAL MODE) AUTOLOCK™

Your tool is equipped with an automatic locking system. This feature will lock the output drive in one position when the trigger switch is released. This will allow you to tighten or loosen a nut or screw by rotating the tool by hand with the switch off. This is convenient when higher turning torque is needed.

FORWARD/REVERSING LEVER

Your tool is equipped with a forward/ reversing lever (Fig. 9). This lever was designed for changing rotation of the accessory.

For forward rotation, (with output drive pointed away from you) move the lever counter- clockwise.

For reverse rotation move the lever clockwise.

INSTALLING FASTENERS

To fasten: Start the fastener by hand onto or into its threaded counter part (E.G. nut on to bolt, bolt in to nut or threaded hole).

To tighten: With the proper accessory securely mounted to the wrench, slide the accessory on to the bolt head. (be sure the rotational direction is “forward”).

Hold the tool securely with both hands, squeeze and hold the trigger switch and tighten fastener in the (power mode) until output drive can no longer rotate, release trigger switch and tighten fastener to desired torque in the (manual mode).

To loosen: With the proper accessory securely mounted to the wrench, slide the accessory on to the bolt head. (be sure the rotational direction is “reverse”).

First, break the fastener loose in the (manual mode), if necessary.

Once the fastener has “broken loose” it will start to unthread. Be careful that you do not allow a fastener to spin freely once it is no longer engaged with the other threaded part as it may be thrown out of the accessory.
