Safety Information (continued)

AIR COMPRESSOR AND AIR TOOL SAFETY

1. Risk of Bursting. Do not adjust the regulator to result in output

pressure greater than the marked maximum pressure of this air

tool.

2. Ensure the hose is free of obstructions or snags. Entangled or

snarled hoses can cause loss of balance or footing and may

become damaged.

3. Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose attached.

4. Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible warning

label.

5. Do not continue to use a tool or hose that leaks air or does not

function properly.

6. Never direct a jet of compressed air toward people or animals.

7. Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is

dusty.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,

grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains

chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other

reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

Lead from lead based paint, crystalline silica from bricks

and cement and other masonry products, arsenic and

chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from those exposures varies, depending on how

often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to

these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area, and work

with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that

are specically designed to lter out microscopic particles.

Important Warnings - Impacts

1. Eye protection and hearing protection and safety gloves must always be worn when operating an impact wrench or impact

driver.

2. When using heavy impact sockets or sockets on impact wrenches with 3/4” drive anvils or larger, a socket retaining ring

and pin should be used to prevent the socket falling off and causing injury.

3. Use only impact sockets and accessories. Only use sockets designated “FOR USE WITH IMPACT WRENCHES”, hand tool

sockets can break, creating a hazard from ying pieces. Always check sockets, retainers and drives regularly for wear or

damage and replace when necessary.

Accessory Hazards

4. Disconnect the assembly power tool for threaded fasteners from the energy supply before changing the inserted tool or

accessory.

5. Do not touch sockets or accessories during impacting as this increases the risk of cuts, burns or vibration injuries.

6. Use only sizes and types of accessories and consumables that are recommended by the assembly power tool for threaded

fasteners manufacturer; do not use other types or sizes of accessories and consumables.

Installation

Cleaning the air hose

Ƒ A 3/8" air hose is required, with a maximum length of 25 ft.

Ƒ Clean the air hose of accumulated dust and moisture

before connecting it to the air supply.

NOTE: If a longer air hose is required, connect a 1/2" air

hose to the 3/8" air hose to ensure the impact wrench has

the necessary air supply.

B Quick Plug

C Quick Coupler

D Air Hose

E In-line Regulator

F In-line Lubricator

G In-line Filter

H Air Compressor

Ensure the air line is shut-off and drained of air before removing this tool for service or changing sockets. This will prevent the tool from

operating if the throttle is accidentally engaged.

LUBRICATION

Ƒ An in-line lter-regulator-lubricator is recommended as it increases tool life and keeps the tool in sustained operation.

Ƒ Regularly check and ll the in-line lubricator with air tool oil. Avoid using excessive amounts of oil.

Ƒ Adjust the in-line lubricator by placing a sheet of paper next to the tool’s exhaust ports and holding the throttle open approximately 30

seconds. The lubricator is properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper.

Ƒ If it is necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.), generously lubricate the tool through the air

inlet. Run the tool for approximately 30 seconds to ensure the oil is evenly distributed throughout the tool. Store the tool in a clean and

dry environment.

Ƒ Recommended lubricants: Air tool oil or any other high grade turbine oil containing moisture absorbent, rust inhibitors, metal wetting

agents, and an EP (extreme pressure) additive.

Maintenance

FLORIDA-PNEUMATIC.COM

Please contact 1-800-356-3392 for further assistance.

Operation

Operating the impact wrench

Ƒ This Impact Wrench is designed to operate on 90 PSIG.

Lower pressure (below 90 PSIG) will reduce performance

of the tool. Higher air pressure (over 90 PSIG) raises the

performance of the tool beyond its rated capacity and

could cause serious damage to the tool and the user.

Changing the output torque direction

Ƒ This tool features a reverse switch to change the

output torque direction to tighten (assemble) or loosen

(disassemble) the bolt or fastener.

Ƒ Control the output torque direction by pushing the reverse

switch button to the F (Forward) or R (Reverse) position to

change the direction.

Changing the output torque level

Ƒ This tool features a torque limiting switch. This tool

operates in the maximum power in the reverse position

and has four torque settings for forward position.

Ƒ Turn torque limited switch to the desired output torque

level.

Tightening/loosening the bolts or

fasteners

Ƒ Place the rotation switch on the impact wrench to the

correct direction.

Ƒ To control power in the forward direction select the torque

level shown on the torque limiting switch.

Ƒ Fit the correct size socket to the anvil of the impact

wrench.

Ƒ Hold the impact wrench with one hand and place the

socket onto the nut/bolt to be tightened or removed. Press

the trigger and stop the operation once the nut/bolt is

removed or tightened.

WARNING: Once a bolt or fastener is seated, impacting for

longer than ve (5) seconds will cause excessive wear and

possible damage to the impact mechanism. If it takes longer

to tighten or loosen your bolt or fastener, we recommend the

use of a larger sized impact wrench.

Warranty

Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation warrants its tools to be free from defects in materials and workmanship. Tools thought

to be defective should be returned to the factory, or an authorized service center, transportation charges prepaid, for examination and

consequent repair or replacement. This warranty does not cover damage to tools arising from alteration, abuse, or use for other than their

intended purpose and does not cover any repairs or replacement made by anyone other than Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation

or its authorized repair stations.

The duration of the Warranty and any other Warranty including, but not limited to, any implied Warranty of merchantability is expressly

limited to two years, beginning from the date of the delivery to the original user. The obligation of Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing

Corporation under any Warranty, express or implied, is limited solely to the repair or replacement at its factory or authorized repair station of

any part which shall prove defective.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Solution

The tool runs slowly or will not

operate.

There is grit or gum in the tool. Flush the tool with air tool oil or gum solvent.

The tool is out of oil. Lubricate the tool according to the lubrication

instructions in this manual.

The air pressure is low.

Ƒ Adjust the regulator on the tool to the

maximum setting.

Ƒ Adjust the compressor regulator to the tool’s

maximum setting of 90 psi.

The air hose leaks. Tighten and seal the hose ttings with pipe thread

tape if leaks are found.

The air pressure drops.

Ƒ Ensure the hose is the proper size. Long

hoses or tools using large volumes of air may

require a hose with an I.D. of ½" or larger

depending on the total length of the hose.

Ƒ Do not use a multiple number of hoses

connected together with a quick connect

tting. This causes additional pressure drops

and reduces the tool power. Directly connect

the hoses together.

There is a worn rotor blade in the motor. Replace the rotor blade.

There is a worn ball bearing in the motor. Remove and inspect the bearing for rust, dirt, and

grit. Replace or clean and grease the bearing with

bearing grease.

There is moisture blowing out

of the tool’s exhaust.

There is water in the tank. Drain the tank. (See the air compressor manual

for instructions.) Lubricate the tool and run it until

water is not evident. Lubricate the tool again and

run for 1-2 seconds.

The tool impacts slowly or not

at all.

The tool needs lubricating. Lubricate the air motor and the impact mechanism

according to the lubrication instructions in this

manual.

The tool regulator setting is in the wrong position. Adjust the regulator on the tool to the maximum

setting.

The tool impacts rapidly, but

will not remove bolts.

The tool has a worn impact mechanism. Replace the worn impact mechanism components.

The tool does not impact. The impact mechanism is broken. Replace the broken impact mechanism

components.
