OPERATION
Depress the latches to remove the battery pack.
For complete charging instructions, see the operator's manu-
als for your battery pack and charger.
RECOMMENDED BATTERY PACKS
OCTANE
tools are compatible with all RIDGID
™
battery packs, but tool performance is maximized with
OCTANE
battery packs.
™
If you experience frequent shutoffs due to overload protec-
tion, try using an OCTANE
LED LIGHTS
See Figure 4, page 8.
The LED lights around the anvil illuminate when either the
switch trigger or grip light switch is depressed.
If the tool is not in use, the time-out feature will cause the
light to start fading and then shut off.
The LED light illuminates only when there is a charged bat-
tery pack in the tool.
INSTALLING AND REMOVING SOCKETS
See Figure 5, page 8.
Use only sockets designed for impact wrenches. Always
select the correct size impact socket for nuts and bolts.
CAUTION:
Using the wrong size socket may damage the nut
or bolt and cause the fastening torque to be inac-
curate or inconsistent.
Remove the battery pack.
Push the socket onto the anvil until the friction ring locks
it into place.
To remove the socket, pull it away from the anvil.
SPEED SELECTOR
See Figure 6, page 8.
Auto Mode offers protection from over-tightening fasteners.
It allows for greater control, reducing damage to fasteners
and work surfaces. While in Auto Mode, the tool will auto-
matically shut off once it starts impacting.
The range of speeds available in each setting are:
Auto Mode (A) ............................................0-2,100 RPM
Low (1) .......................................................0-1,300 RPM
Medium (2) .................................................0-1,900 RPM
High (3).......................................................0-2,600 RPM

NOTICE:
Never change speeds while the tool is running.
Doing so may result in serious damage to the tool.

OPERATING THE IMPACT WRENCH
See Figures 7 - 8, page 9.
CAUTION:
The metal surface may become hot during use.
Avoid contact with it to avoid possible burn injury.
Proper fastening torque may be determined by the kind of
bolt, the size of the bolt or the material or the workpiece. It
is helpful to perform a test operation to determine the proper
fastening time for the nut or bolt you are using.
Hold the tool with one hand pointed straight at the nut or
bolt.
Depress the switch and fasten for the proper fastening
time.
Remove the impact wrench from the nut or bolt.
Check the torque with a torque wrench.
NOTICE:
Do not use this tool to install lug nuts on wheels
without a torque limiting device. Doing so could
result in galled or broken lugs.
IMPACT TIME
Many variables exist that will cause the maximum torque
to the fastener to vary considerably, including the size and
threading of the fastener, lubrication, material hardness, and
environmental conditions.
NOTE: Using a universal joint or extension bar may reduce
the fastening force of the impact wrench and require longer
fastening time.
NOTICE:
After the head of a nut or bolt has seated,
additional impacting will increase the chance of
shearing bolts, nuts, sockets or tearing into wood.
ELECTRIC BRAKE
The electric brake will stop the socket rotation after the
operator releases the switch trigger.
