4. Setup

1. Prepare Air Compressor: Ensure your air compressor is capable of providing a maximum working pressure of 6.3 bar and has a tank volume of at least 50 liters. Drain any condensation from the compressor tank.
2. Connect Inline Oiler: If not already integrated into your air line, connect the supplied inline oiler to the air inlet of the impact wrench. Fill the oiler with the provided pneumatic oil. This is crucial for the longevity of the tool.
3. Attach Air Hose: Connect your air hose to the nipple (approx. 1/4 inch) on the impact wrench. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent air leaks.
4. Initial Lubrication: Before first use, add a few drops of pneumatic oil directly into the air inlet of the tool if an inline oiler is not used or as an additional measure.
5. Select Socket: Choose the appropriate socket attachment for your task and firmly attach it to the square drive of the impact wrench. Use the extension attachment if needed.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Adjusting Impact Power

The PARKSIDE PDSS 310 A1 features a 4-stage adjustable impact power setting. This allows you to control the torque output for different applications. Locate the power adjustment dial, usually near the air inlet or trigger, and rotate it to select the desired power level. Start with a lower setting and increase if more torque is required.

5.2. Forward/Reverse Rotation

The tool has a switch for selecting forward (tightening) or reverse (loosening) rotation. This switch is typically located near the trigger for easy access. Ensure the tool is not operating when changing the direction of rotation.

5.3. General Operation

2. Select the correct socket and attach it firmly.
3. Set the desired impact power and rotation direction.
4. Place the socket squarely onto the fastener.
5. Press the trigger to operate the tool. Apply steady pressure.
6. Release the trigger to stop the tool.
7. For loosening stubborn fasteners, the maximum loosening torque is 310 Nm.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your impact wrench.

• Lubrication: It is essential to lubricate the tool daily or before each use. Add 5-10 drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet. If using an inline oiler, ensure it is filled and functioning correctly.
• Cleaning: Keep the tool clean and free from dirt and debris. Wipe down the housing with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
• Air Filter/Regulator: Regularly check and clean the air filter on your compressor and any inline filters/regulators to ensure a clean air supply to the tool.
• Storage: Store the impact wrench in a dry, clean place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Disconnect it from the air supply before storage.
