Rotation Direction and Torque Selection
• The direction of rotation depends on the side towards
which the trigger is pressed.
• To tighten a nut or lug, press the trigger to the right (F),
so that the die rotates clockwise. To loosen, press the trigger
R
F
to the left (R) so that the die rotates counter clockwise.
Trigger
• To select torque and prevent from tightening too much a
nut or lug, turn the knob (G) until reaching the desired
torque level.
• Using the maximum torque is recommended when there
is no torque meter to verify the adequate torque.
• The torque value may vary depending on the air
compressor size and the quantity of air (CFM) it delivers.
Turning On
• Turn ON the air compressor and let it fill up.
• Regulate the air compressor outlet pressure to 90 PSI.
WARNING
The tool operates with this pressure
range. If operating in a higher pressure range the tool
useful life will be shorter.
• Let run some air through the hose and coupling to
verify both are clean before connecting into the tool.
• Select the adequate rotation direction and torque.
• Press the trigger so that the die can rotate.
• Release the trigger to stop the die.
G
Operation
• Set the die in the nut or lug you want to loosen or
tighten.
• Before operating the tool double check there is enough
space in the back of the tool to prevent getting your hand
trapped. The tool goes away from the nut / screw when
loosened or tightened.
• Do not try to make contact with the nut or lug with the
die moving. Do not press the trigger unless the nut or lug
is set correctly inside the die.
• Apply firm and constant pressure without forcing the
tool. Otherwise it can be damaged.
