OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5. LED Worklight
The LED work light (F), located on the base of the
impact wrench, will illuminate when the variable-
speed trigger switch is depressed. This provides
additional light on the surface of the workpiece for
operation in lower-light conditions.
The LED work light will turn off after approximately
10 seconds when the variable-speed trigger switch
is released.
a. The LED work light will blink rapidly if the
tool has stopped working in order to protect
internal circuits; please wait for the tool to cool
down, at which point it can be started again.
b. The LED work light will blink slowly to indicate
that the battery charge is very low.
6. Installing and Removing Sockets
a. Remove the battery pack.
b. To install a 1/2 in. socket (not included), simply
push it completely onto the square anvil (A).
c. To remove the socket, pull it off.
WARNING
• Only use sockets designed for impact wrenches.
Sockets not designed for impact wrenches could
break and result in user injury. Inspect sockets
prior to use to ensure that they have no cracks
or other visible damage.
7. Tighten Fasteners with the Impact Wrench
WARNING
• Battery tools are always in operating condition. Therefore, always remove the battery pack
when not in use or carrying at your side.
The proper fastening torque may differ depending on the type or size of the bolt, the material of
the workpiece to be fastened, etc. Before starting your job, always perform a test operation to
determine the proper fastening time for your bolt or nut.
a. Check the direction-of-rotation selector (B) for the correct setting (forward or reverse).
b. Hold the tool firmly and place the socket over the bolt or nut.
c. Depress the variable-speed trigger switch (C) to turn the impact wrench on. The variable-
speed trigger switch delivers higher speed with increased trigger pressure and lower
speed with decreased trigger pressure.
d. Fasten the bolt or nut to the proper torque.
e. To turn the impact wrench OFF, release the variable-speed trigger switch.
f. After fastening, always check the torque with a torque wrench.
NOTICE: Hold the tool straight along the axis of the bolt or nut.
