Setup
- Air Supply Connection:
- Ensure your air compressor is off and depressurized.
- Attach a quick-connect fitting (if not already installed) to the 1/4" air inlet on the wrench.
- Connect a 3/8" air hose from your compressor to the wrench. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent air leaks.
- Lubrication:
- Before first use and daily thereafter, add 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 1/2" drive impact socket for your application.
- Push the socket firmly onto the square drive until it locks into place.
