5. Setup

Proper setup is crucial for optimal performance and safety.

5.1 Air Supply Requirements

• Air Hose: Connect the impact wrench to an air pipe with an internal diameter of not less than 3/8 inches. Using a smaller diameter hose can restrict airflow and reduce tool performance.
• Air Compressor: Ensure your air compressor provides sufficient power output. A compressor with a tank size of not less than 8 gallons is recommended to maintain consistent air pressure.
• Air Pressure: Operate the tool at the recommended air pressure, typically around 90 PSI (6.2 bar). Refer to your compressor's manual for pressure adjustment.
• Air Filter/Lubricator: For best results and tool longevity, install an in-line air filter/lubricator unit between the air compressor and the impact wrench. This helps remove moisture and provides lubrication to the tool.

5.2 Attaching Sockets

1. Ensure the air supply is disconnected from the impact wrench.
2. Select the appropriate metric impact socket for your application.
3. Align the square drive of the socket with the anvil of the impact wrench.
4. Push the socket firmly onto the anvil until it locks into place. For the extension rod, attach it to the anvil first, then attach the socket to the extension rod.
5. Gently pull on the socket to ensure it is securely attached before reconnecting the air supply.

6. Operating Instructions

The TUZkozs T-288 impact wrench is designed for heavy-duty fastening and loosening tasks.

6.1 Connecting to Air Supply

1. Ensure the impact wrench is turned off (if applicable) and the trigger is not depressed.
2. Connect the air hose from your compressor to the air inlet fitting on the impact wrench.
3. Turn on your air compressor and adjust the pressure to the recommended PSI.

6.2 Direction and Speed Adjustment

The impact wrench features a 5-speed adjustable mechanism and can operate in both clockwise (forward) and counterclockwise (reverse) directions.

• Direction Selector: Locate the direction selector switch, typically near the trigger or at the back of the tool. Move the switch to the desired direction (F for forward/tightening, R for reverse/loosening).
• Speed Adjustment: The tool has a 5-speed setting. Adjust the speed dial to select the appropriate power level for your task. Lower settings are suitable for delicate work or starting fasteners, while higher settings provide maximum torque for stubborn bolts.

6.3 Operation

1. With the correct socket attached and air supply connected, position the socket onto the fastener.
2. Ensure a firm grip on the tool and maintain proper balance.
3. Gently depress the trigger to start the tool. Apply steady pressure to the fastener.
4. Release the trigger to stop the tool.
5. Always disconnect the air supply when finished or when changing sockets.
