4. Setup

4.1 Charging the Battery

1. Ensure the battery pack is securely inserted into the fast charger.
2. Plug the charger into a standard power outlet.
3. The indicator lights on the charger will show the charging status. A full charge typically takes 120 minutes.
4. Once fully charged, disconnect the charger from the power outlet and remove the battery pack.

4.2 Attaching Sockets/Bits

1. Ensure the tool is off and the battery pack is removed before attaching or removing accessories.
2. For impact sockets, align the square drive of the socket with the anvil on the tool and push firmly until it clicks into place.
3. For drill bits or screwdriver bits, use the appropriate adapter (if necessary) and insert the bit into the chuck. Tighten the chuck securely to hold the bit in place.
4. To remove, pull the socket or bit firmly away from the anvil/chuck.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Powering On/Off

To power on the tool, simply press the trigger. The tool will start rotating. To power off, release the trigger.

5.2 Changing Modes

The tool features three operating modes: Automatic Stop Mode, High Efficiency Mode, and Power Saving Mode. Press the mode selection button on the tool to cycle through these modes. The indicator lights will show the currently selected mode.

• Automatic Stop Mode: Ideal for loosening nuts and bolts. The tool will automatically stop rotation once the fastener is loose to prevent it from flying off. This mode only works in forward rotation.
• High Efficiency Mode: Provides maximum speed (0-2600 RPM) for heavy-duty tasks and quick fastening/loosening.
• Power Saving Mode: Operates at a lower speed (0-1600 RPM) to conserve battery life and for more precise work. This mode is ideal for delicate adjustments or re-tightening.

5.3 Forward/Reverse Rotation

A lever located near the trigger allows you to switch between forward and reverse rotation:

• Push the lever to the left (F) for forward rotation (tightening).
• Push the lever to the right (R) for reverse rotation (loosening).

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

5.4 Tightening and Loosening

1. Select the appropriate socket or bit for the fastener.
2. Choose the desired operating mode (e.g., High Efficiency for initial loosening, Automatic Stop for controlled loosening).
3. Set the forward/reverse lever to the correct direction.
4. Place the socket/bit firmly onto the fastener.
5. Gradually press the trigger to start rotation. Apply more pressure for higher speed.
6. For tightening, always finish with a torque wrench to ensure proper torque specifications are met, especially for critical applications like wheel nuts.
