Setup
1. Battery Installation and Charging
The NANWEI Impact Driver uses a 20V Lithium-Ion battery. Ensure the battery is fully charged before first use.
- To install the battery, align the battery pack with the slot in the tool handle and slide it in until it clicks securely into place.
- To remove the battery, press the release button on the battery pack and slide it out.
- To charge the battery, connect the charger to a power outlet and insert the battery pack into the charger. The indicator lights on the battery or charger will show the charging status.
2. Bit Installation (Hexagonal Collet)
The impact driver features a triple-ball hexagonal collet for quick and secure bit changes.
- Pull the collet sleeve forward to unlock the chuck.
- Insert the 1/4 inch (6.35mm) hexagonal shank bit fully into the chuck.
- Release the collet sleeve. The bit should be securely locked in place by the three steel balls.
- To remove the bit, pull the collet sleeve forward and pull the bit out.
Operating Instructions
1. Power On/Off and Variable Speed Control
The tool is activated by pressing the activation switch. The speed is infinitely variable depending on the pressure applied to the switch.
- Press the activation switch lightly for slow rotation and precise control.
- Press the activation switch fully for maximum speed and power.
- Releasing the switch automatically stops the tool.
2. Forward/Reverse Switch
The forward/reverse switch is located above the activation switch. It controls the direction of rotation.
- Push the switch to the left for forward (tightening) rotation.
- Push the switch to the right for reverse (loosening) rotation.
- Center the switch to lock the tool and prevent accidental activation.
3. Four-Speed Torque Adjustment with Memory Function
The impact driver features four distinct speed and torque modes, suitable for various applications. The tool also has a memory function that retains the last selected gear when switching between forward and reverse rotation.
- Mode 1 (Wood Model): 60 N.m torque, 1200 r/min. Suitable for soft materials.
- Mode 2 (Thin Iron Function): 120 N.m torque, 1800 r/min. Suitable for thin metal materials.
- Mode 3 (Thick Iron Function): 180 N.m torque, 2400 r/min. Suitable for thicker metal materials.
- Mode 4 (Full Speed Mode): 240 N.m torque, 3000 r/min. For all kinds of materials requiring maximum power.
To adjust the gear, use the gear adjustment switch (turn clockwise or counter-clockwise as indicated on the tool). The current mode is displayed on the battery indicator panel.
The tool also features an unscrewed self-stop function to prevent screws from falling out during loosening operations.
4. LED Lighting
The integrated LED light automatically illuminates the work area when the activation switch is pressed, providing better visibility in dimly lit spaces.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Keep the tool's ventilation openings clean to prevent overheating. Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the exterior. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not store batteries in a discharged state for extended periods.
- Bit Maintenance: Ensure bits are clean and free from rust. Replace worn or damaged bits to maintain optimal performance and safety.
- Storage: When not in use, store the impact driver, batteries, and charger in a dry, secure location, preferably in its original case.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Tool does not start | Battery not charged or improperly installed; Forward/Reverse switch in center (locked) position. | Charge battery and ensure it's securely installed. Move the F/R switch to forward or reverse. |
| Reduced power or speed | Low battery charge; Incorrect speed/torque mode selected. | Recharge the battery. Select a higher speed/torque mode. |
| Bit wobbles or falls out | Bit not fully inserted; Collet not properly engaged; Incorrect bit type. | Ensure bit is fully inserted and collet sleeve is released. Use only 1/4 inch hexagonal shank bits. |
| Tool overheats | Prolonged heavy use; Blocked ventilation openings. | Allow the tool to cool down. Clear any obstructions from ventilation openings. Avoid continuous heavy-duty work. |
User Tips
- For delicate tasks or starting screws, begin with a lower speed/torque setting and gradually increase as needed.
