FORWARD/REVERSE/LOCK SELECTION

1. Select the direction of operation

by pushing the selector bar in the

appropriate direction.

• The direction of rotation is

shown on the end face of the

selector bar.

• When the selector bar is in the

central position the trigger is in

neutral/locked.

2. Always check the direction of

rotation before operation.

LOOSENING A NUT

1. Fit the appropriate socket to the square drive of the impact wrench.

2. With the FORWARD/REVERSE selector bar in the REVERSE running position,

hold the wrench firmly and pull the trigger. The nut will be impacted

repeatedly until it is loosened.

NOTE: As the battery becomes discharged the power available will

drop. The battery will cut out when a low state of charge is

reached. This is normal and is a design feature to protect the

battery from deep discharge. If this occurs, re-charge the battery

as described on page 8.

3. After use, recharge the battery pack as shown on page 8. Avoid leaving

the batteries in a discharged state.

TIGHTENING A NUT

1. Start the nut by hand, ensuring it is not cross threaded, then with the

appropriate socket fitted to the impact wrench, place it on the nut.

2. With the FORWARD/REVERSE selector bar in the forward running position,

and holding the wrench firmly, pull the trigger.

3. Install each nut in turn until it is ‘nipped’ up only - do not tighten fully. When

all nuts are secure, tighten further but take care to prevent over-tightening.

4. ALWAYS finish tightening with a torque wrench to the manufacturers

recommended torque.

WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE CORRECT SOCKET IS BEING USED FOR THE

NUTS ON YOUR PARTICULAR VEHICLE. AN INCORRECT SOCKET SIZE WILL

DAMAGE THE HEADS OF THE BOLTS/NUTS.
