   • Attach an appropriate air fitting (not always included) to the air inlet of the tool.
   • Connect the air hose from the compressor to the air fitting on the tool.
   • Set the air compressor regulator to the recommended operating pressure (typically 90 PSI). Do not exceed the maximum operating pressure.
2. Socket Installation:
   • Ensure the air supply is disconnected.
   • Select the correct size impact-grade socket for your application.
   • Push the socket firmly onto the 0.5-inch square drive anvil until it locks into place.
   • Pull on the socket to ensure it is securely attached before use.

Operating Instructions

1. Direction Control:
   • The tool features an easy push-button forward/reverse control.
   • Press the button on one side for forward rotation (tightening).

   • Always ensure the direction is set correctly before operating.
2. Power Adjustment:
   • A large power adjustment dial allows selection of four forward power settings.
