5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Powering On/Off

The tool is activated by pressing the trigger switch. Releasing the trigger switch turns the tool off. The impact/speed is infinitely variable based on trigger pressure.

5.2 Selecting Torque Levels

The impact wrench offers 5 pre-selectable torque levels:

• 100 Nm
• 150 Nm
• 200 Nm
• 300 Nm
• 400 Nm (Maximum Torque)

Use the dedicated torque selection buttons (refer to Figure 3) to cycle through these settings. Choose the appropriate torque for your application to prevent overtightening or damage.

5.3 Forward/Reverse Rotation

A switch, typically located above the trigger (refer to Figure 3), controls the direction of rotation.

Ensure the tool has come to a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation.

The integrated LED work light illuminates the work area, improving visibility in dimly lit conditions. It typically activates automatically when the trigger is pressed.

5.5 General Usage for Wheel Assembly

When assembling vehicle wheels, ensure the vehicle is securely supported. Select the correct socket size and torque setting. Apply the impact wrench to the lug nuts, tightening them in a star pattern to the manufacturer's specified torque. Always double-check the final torque with a calibrated torque wrench.
