Setup

Air Supply Connection:
Connect the tool to a clean, dry, regulated air supply. Ensure the air hose has an inside diameter of at least 3/8 inch for optimal performance. The recommended operating air pressure is 90 psi (6.2 bar) at the tool inlet while the trigger is pressed.
Lubrication:
Before first use and regularly thereafter, apply a few drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet. This lubricates the internal components and extends tool life.
Socket Attachment:
Select the appropriate 3/8-inch impact-rated socket. Push the socket firmly onto the square drive anvil until it locks into place with the retaining ring. Ensure the socket is securely seated before operation.

Operating Instructions

Power Regulation:
The tool features a two-position forward power regulator. Adjust this regulator to control the torque output for tightening applications. Position 1 provides lower torque, and Position 2 provides maximum torque (up to 180 ft-lbs).
Forward/Reverse Control:
Utilize the forward/reverse ring located near the trigger to switch between tightening (forward) and loosening (reverse) modes. Ensure the direction is set correctly before operating.
Trigger Operation:
Press the feather-touch trigger to activate the tool. Apply steady pressure. Release the trigger to stop operation. Avoid prolonged operation against a fully tightened or seized fastener to prevent tool damage.
Working in Tight Spaces:
The low-profile right-angle head is specifically designed for enhanced access to hard-to-reach nuts and bolts. Position the tool head carefully to engage the fastener squarely.

Maintenance

Daily Lubrication: Apply 5-10 drops of Ingersoll Rand air tool oil (or equivalent) into the air inlet before each use and after every hour of continuous operation.
Air Line Filter: Ensure your air supply system includes an air line filter to prevent moisture and debris from entering the tool. Regularly drain water from the air compressor tank and air line filters.
Cleaning: Keep the tool clean and free from dirt and debris. Use a soft cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid using harsh solvents that could damage the composite housing.
Storage: Store the tool in a clean, dry environment when not in use. Disconnect it from the air supply.
Inspection: Periodically inspect the tool for any signs of wear or damage, especially the drive anvil and housing. Do not operate a damaged tool.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Tool not operating or low power	Insufficient air pressure Clogged air filter/regulator Lack of lubrication Worn internal components	Check air compressor and regulator settings (ensure 90 psi at tool). Clean or replace air filter. Add pneumatic tool oil to air inlet. Contact authorized service center.
Head locks up or only blows air	Internal mechanism jammed Excessive force applied to seized fastener	Disconnect air, gently try to free the head manually. Avoid holding trigger on non-moving bolts for extended periods. If persistent, contact authorized service center.
Air leaks	Loose fittings Damaged O-rings or seals	Tighten all air line connections. Contact authorized service center for seal replacement.
