4. Setup
Proper setup ensures optimal performance and safety of your air impact wrench.
4.1 Air Supply Connection:
- Ensure your air compressor is turned off and depressurized.
- Attach the provided Air Quick Connector to the air inlet of the impact wrench.
- Connect a suitable air hose (3/8" ID recommended) from your air compressor to the quick connector.
- Ensure the air pressure regulator on your compressor is set to the recommended operating pressure of 90-120 PSI.

4.2 Initial Lubrication:
Before first use, and regularly thereafter, lubricate the tool to ensure smooth operation and longevity.
- Disconnect the air supply from the wrench.
- Unscrew the cap of the oil lubricator.
- Add a few drops of pneumatic tool oil into the oil lubricator.
- Reattach the oil lubricator to the air inlet and connect the air hose.
- Run the tool for a few seconds to distribute the oil.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Attaching Sockets:
Select the appropriate CR-V steel impact socket for your application. Push the socket firmly onto the square drive anvil until it locks into place.
5.2 Forward/Reverse and Speed Control:
The wrench features a 4-position combined forward/reverse and power management regulator, typically located near the trigger.
- Forward (Tightening): Move the regulator to the desired forward position (usually 3 speeds available) for tightening fasteners. Higher positions provide more torque.
- Reverse (Loosening): Move the regulator to the leftmost position for reverse operation, which is used for loosening fasteners. This typically provides maximum loosening torque.

5.3 Operation:
- Ensure the air supply is connected and regulated to the correct pressure.
- Select the appropriate direction (forward or reverse) and torque setting.
- Place the socket firmly onto the fastener.
- Depress the trigger to operate the wrench. Release the trigger to stop.
- For tightening, always verify the final torque with a torque wrench to meet specifications.
