2. Attaching/Removing Sockets
This impact wrench features a 1/2 inch hog ring anvil for quick socket changes.
- To attach a socket, simply push the 1/2 inch square drive socket onto the anvil until it snaps into place.
- To remove a socket, firmly pull the socket off the anvil.
Operating Instructions
1. Powering On/Off and Variable Speed Control
The tool is activated by pressing the trigger switch. The speed of the tool is controlled by the amount of pressure applied to the trigger. Pressing the trigger further increases the speed.
Figure 3: The variable speed trigger allows for precise control. The display shows the current speed setting and battery life.
2. Forward/Reverse Rotation
The forward/reverse button (typically located above the trigger) controls the direction of rotation. Push the button to the left for forward rotation (tightening) and to the right for reverse rotation (loosening).

3. Speed and Torque Settings (4 Modes)
The impact wrench features multiple speed settings to match the application. Use the speed control button (often located near the battery indicator) to cycle through the available modes.
- Forward Modes (1, 2, 3): These modes offer increasing RPM and tightening torque.
- Mode 1: 0-1200 RPM, 0-500 ft-lbs torque
- Mode 2: 0-1600 RPM, 0-700 ft-lbs torque
- Mode 3: 0-2000 RPM, 0-900 ft-lbs torque
- Reverse Mode (Auto-Stop): This mode is designed for loosening. It provides 0-2100 RPM and up to 1000 ft-lbs (1360 N.m) loosening torque. The auto-stop feature prevents over-loosening by stopping rotation once the fastener is free, helping to prevent nuts from falling off.
