Tool Operation:

This ratchet is designed to remove and install threaded
fasteners .
NOTE: Actual torque on a fastener is di rect ly related to joint hard-
ness, tool speed, condition of impact socket and the time the
tool is allowed to rotate .
Use the simplest possible tool-to-socket hook up . Every
connection absorbs energy and reduces power .

cartridge is removed before carrying out any work on the
tool. To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs,
maintenance or adjustments should be carried out by a
Matco authorized service center.
