INSTA[.LA TION

Air Supply

The recommended hook-up isshown inFigure A. Pneumatic tools
operate on a wide range of air pressures. For maximum efficiency
and longer tool life, the pressure of the air supplied to these

tools MUST not exceed the rated PSi at the tool when the tool is
running. Using a higher than rated pressure will cause faster wear

and drastically shorten the tool's life. A higher air pressure can also
cause an unsafe condition and explosion.

The inside diameter of the hose should be increased to
compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 25 feet).

Minimum hose diameter should be 3/8" I.D. and fittings should
have 1/4" NPT thread.

The use of air line lubricators and air line
filters is recommended to prevent water in

the line that can damage the tool. Drain the
air tank daily. Clean the air inlet filter screen
on at least a weekly schedule to remove

accumulated dirt or other matter that can
restrict air flow.

The tool's air inlet used for connecting
an air supply has standard 1/4" NPT

American thread.

PREPARATION FOR USE

Proper Use Of The Tool

Your new 1/2" Drive Impact Wrench is designed for driving, tightening
and loosening threaded fasteners, usually nuts and bolts, when fitted
with a suitable impact socket. Always use impact-rated extension
bars, universal joints and socket adapters between the square
output drive of the impact wrench and the female square drive of the
socket. Do not use the tool for any other purpose than that specified
without consulting the manufacturer or the manufacturer's authorized
supplier. To do so may be dangerous.

Never use the impact wrench as a hammer to dislodge or
straighten cross threaded fasteners. Never attempt to modify

the tool for other uses.

Work Stations

Your impact wrench should only be used as a hand operated tool.
It is always recommended that the tool is used when standing with
solid footing. It can be used in other positions but before any such
use, the operator must be in a secure position having a firm grip and

footing and be aware that when loosening fasteners the tool can

move quite quickly away from the fastener being undone. An
allowance must always be made for this rearward movement so as
to avoid the possibility of hand!arm/body entrapment.

Putting Into Service

Air Supply

iJ,CAUTION: This air tool requires lubrication BEFORE initial use,

also before and after each additional use.

WARNING: Use a clean lubricated air supply that will give a
measured air pressure at the tool of 90 psi!6.2 bar when the tool
is running with the trigger fully depressed.

Use recommended hose size. It is recommended that the tool is
connected to the air supply as shown in figure A on page 11. Do

not connect the tool to the air line system without incorporating an

easy to reach and operate air shut off valve. The air supply should
be lubricated. It is strongly recommended that an air filter, regulator,

lubricator (FRL) is used as shown infigure A on page 11 as this
will supply clean, lubricated air at the correct pressure to the tool.
Details of such equipment can be obtained from your supplier. If
such equipment is not used then the tool should be lubricated by
shutting off the air supply to the tool and then depressurizing
the line by pressing the trigger on the tool. Disconnect the air
line and pour into the air inlet 1 teaspoon (5cc.) of a
suitable pneumatic motor lubricating oil, preferably incorporating
a rust inhibitor. Reconnect tool to air supply and run tool slowly for a

few seconds to allow air to circulate the oil.
Lubricate tool daily if used frequently, or when it starts to slow

or lose power.

Using An impact Wrench

A WARNING:

1) Read all instructions before using this tool. All operators must
be fully trained in its use and aware of these safety rules.

2 Do not exceed the maximum working air pressure of

90 psi/6.2 bar.

3 Use personal safety equipment.
4 Use only compressed air at the recommended conditions.
5 If the tool appears to malfunction, remove from use

immediately and arrange for service and repair.

6 If the tool is used with a balancer or other support device,

ensure that it is fixed securely.

7 Always keep hands away from the working attachment fitted to

the tool.

8) The tool is not electrically insulated. Never use the tool if there
is any chance of it coming into contact with live electricity.

9) When using the tool, always adopt a firm footing and/or position

and grip the tool firmly to counteract any forces or

reaction forces that may be generated while using the tool.

Using an impact Wrench Continued

10) Use only genuine Dewalt spare parts or parts which perform
equivalently. Do not make temporary or permanent repairs with

unauthorized parts.

11) Do not lock, tape, wire, etc., the on/off trigger in the run position.
The trigger must always be free to return to the "off" position

when it is released.

12) Always shut off the air supply to the tool and depress the trigger
to release air from the feedhose before fitting, adjusting or

removing the working attachment.

13) Check hoses and fittings regularly for wear. Replace if

necessary. Do not carry the tool by its hose. Ensure the hand is
removed from the on/off trigger when carrying the tool with the

air supply connected.

14) Take care against entanglement of moving tool parts with
clothing, ties, hair, cleaning rags, etc. This will cause the body to

be drawn towards the tool andrcan be very dangerous.

15) Safe working practices and observe all relevant legal

requirements when installing, using or maintaining the tool.

16) Only install the tool when an easily accessible and easily
operable on/off switch is incorporated in the air supply.

17) Take care that the tool exhaust air does not cause problems
or blow onto another person.

18) Never lay a tool down unless the working attachment has
stopped moving.

19) Always ensure that the forward/reverse switch is in the desired
position before starting the tool.

20) Do not use sockets with excessive wear to the input or output
drives. Periodically check the square drive on the impact wrench.

Make surer the socket, extension bar, or other attachment is

securely fitted before operating tool.

21) When loosening fasteners first ensure that there is sufficient
clearance behind the tool to avoid hand entrapment. The tool will

move away from the threaded joint as the nut/bolt is loosened

and rides up the thread, moving the tool with it.

MAINTENANCE

Lubrication

Air tools require lubrication throughout the lifetime of the tools.
The air motor and bearing uses compressed air to power the tool.

The compressed air contains moisture that will rust the air motor
and other parts in side of the tools, therefore lubrication is required
daily. Failure to lubricate the air tool properly will dramatically

shorten the life of the tool and will void the warranty

CAUTION: This air tool requires lubrication BEFORE initial use,

also before and after each additional use.

To Lubricate The Air Tool Manually:

1. Remove any attachment on the drive of air tools, such as:

sockets, chisels and etc.

2. Disconnect the tool from the air supply source, place

the air inlet face up.

3. Depress the trigger and place about 1 teaspoon

(5cc.) of air tool oil into the air inlet. (Depressing the trigger

will help circulate oil in the motor.)

NOTE:Use SAE #10 weight oil if air tool oil is not available.

4. Connect the tool to an air source, cover the exhaust end

with a towel and run for about 20 to 30 seconds.

•_ WARNING: Keep out of the reach of children, ff taken internally, do
not induce vomiting, call a doctor immediately.
/& WARNING: Any excess oil in the motor is immediately expelled
from the exhaust port. Always direct exhaust port away from people
or objects.
