OPERATION
The air regulator knob can be used
as an air throttle, if there are no
other means of regulating air. Turn
the air regulator knob all the way
to position 4 for maximum power.
The air regulator can be used to
adjust torque to the approximate
tightness of a known fastener.
To set the tool to desired torque,
select a nut or screw of known
tightness of the same size, thread
pitch and thread condition as those
on the job. Turn air regulator to
low position, apply wrench to nut
and gradually increase power (turn
regulator to
admit more air)
until nut moves

requiring critical torque values,
run nut up flush and then tighten
an additional one-quarter to one-
half turn (slight additional turning
is necessary if gaskets are being
clamped). For additional power
needed on disassembly work, turn
regulator to its fully open position.
This impact wrench is rated at 1/2"
USS bolt size. Rating must be down
graded for spring U bolts, tie bolts,
long cap screws, double depth
nuts, badly rusted conditions and
spring fasteners as they absorb
much of the impact power. When
possible, clamp or wedge the bolt
to prevent springback.

three to five seconds, use a larger
size impact wrench. Do not use
impact wrench beyond rated
capacity, as this will drastically
reduce tool life.
The reversing valve is used to
change the rotation of the tool.
When the valve is out the rear of
end cap, the tool is in a forward
or right hand rotation. When the
valve is pushed in, the
rotation is reverse or left hand.
(The illustration of the tool shows
the tool in the reverse position.)
