locations. Don’t expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted. Do not use electrically
powered tools in the presence of ammable gases or liquids.
3. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let
them handle machines, tools, or extension cords.
4. Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry location to
inhibit rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.
5. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to
do the work of a larger industrial tool. There are certain applications for which this
tool was designed. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was
intended. Do not modify this tool and do not use this tool for a purpose for which it
was not intended.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in
moving parts. Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid footwear
are recommended when working. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.

Wear a full face shield if you are producing metal lings or wood chips. Wear an ANSI
approved dust mask or respirator when working around metal, wood, and chemical
dusts and mists.
9. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect
tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized
technician. The handles must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease at all
times.
10. Disconnect power. Unplug tool when not in use.
11. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from the tool or machine work surface before plugging it in.
12. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the switch is in the Off position when not
in use and before plugging in. Do not carry any tool with your nger on the trigger,
whether it is plugged in or not.
13. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool
when you are tired.
14. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts
or mounting xtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualied technician.
Do not use the tool if any switch does not turn On and Off properly.
15. Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories
intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are available from Harbor
Freight Tools.
16. Do not operate tool if under the inuence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning
labels if taking prescription medicine to determine if your judgment or reexes are
impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.
17. Maintenance. For your safety, service and maintenance should be performed
regularly by a qualied technician.
18. Use both hands when operating. This tool requires the use of both hands when
operating. This helps maintain tool stability and keeps hands away from the working

Impact Wrench Safety Precautions
19. Only use Impact Sockets with this tool. Standard sockets will not withstand
the force applied by this tool, and may break, possible causing personal injury
and/or property injury.
20. Use only specied operating air pressure. Never operate tool above the
recommended working pressure of 100 PSI.
21. Do not use combustible gases. Do not use combustible gases as a power source,
or use tool in areas where combustible gases are stored.
22. OSHA Guidelines. Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines.
23. Air Compressor. Read and adhere to all warnings and instructions of the Air
Compressor Instruction Manual.
Warning: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual
cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be under-
stood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be

Assembly
The only assembly required is to install Side Handle (8), per the following instruc-
tions. Using Cap Screws (7), and the supplied Allen Wrench, mount the Side Handle (8)
to the Front Casing (5). Securely tighten all Cap Screws (7).
Note: Use pipe thread seal or Teon tape on all threaded connections.
Oiler and Filter Connection
Dirt, water, and the lack of pneumatic tool oil are major causes for tool wear. It is recom-
mended to install an optional oiler-lter, as illustrated below for better performance.
Connect the air tool, air hoses, lter, and oiler to the Compressor Air Outlet as illustrated
below. The lter and oiler (not supplied) are recommended but not mandatory for opera-
tion.
A few drops of pneumatic tool oil must be added through the air inlet before each use if an
oiler is not used.
AIR SUPPLY CONNECTION
1. Install a standard 1/2” Air Connector (not included) to the Air Inlet (51). First wrap
the threaded portion of the 1/2” air connector with pipe thread seal tape before
threading it into the Air Inlet (51). Tighten securely.
2. Set the sir pressure regulator at no more than 100 PSI.
3. Check the air line and its connections for air leaks, make note of these, and repair
them before using this tool.
WARNING: Do not exceed the recommended working pressure of 100 PSI. Damage to
your tool, and possible personal injury may result.

OPERATION
NOTE: Turn off your air compressor and disconnect the air pressure hose before changing
sockets or making any adjustments to this tool. Severe injury or property damage may result
otherwise.
WARNING: This tool generates considerable torque when in use. Always hold the tool with
both hands when using, and brace yourself to resist the torque which will be delivered to the
work piece.
1. Select the appropriate size 1” square drive socket (not included) for your needs.
Push and snap the socket onto the Anvil (13).
NOTE: On this tool the designation “R” refers to forward or clockwise rotation. “L” refers to
reverse or counterclockwise rotation. Always be aware of the direction of the threading of
the fasteners you are working on. While most fasteners install with clockwise rotation, some
threads are intentionally the reverse.
2. Set the directions of the Air Impact Wrench to Forward (R=right or clockwise) or
Reverse (L=left or counterclockwise) by adjusting the Rotation/Torque Knob (38). You
may control the amount of torque to be applied by selecting any of the 3 torque settings
(1=low, 2=medium, 3=high).
NOTE: The actual torque delivered at each of the 3 torque settings will depend on the air
pressure supplied to the tool. We suggest that you test the actual torque by tightening a nut
or bolt at each setting, then observing the resultant torque by using a mechanical torque
wrench (not supplied).
3. If installing a nut or bolt, set it as tight as possible by hand.
4. Place and push on a appropriate size impact socket onto Anvil (13) and place the
Impact Socket (not included) over the fastener.
5. Grip the Air Impact Wrench tightly with both hands, and squeeze the Trigger (36).
The tool will operate and tighten the fastener.

Caution: Never increase pressure at the air compressor regulator to achieve more torque.
7. When nished, release the Trigger (36), and lift the Impact Wrench off the nut.
8. Remove the air supply hose, then squeeze the Trigger (36) again to release any
remaining air pressure in the Impact Wrench air chamber.
Maintenance
1. After each use, wipe the Impact Wrench with a clean cloth to remove any dirt and
grease buildup.
2. To maintain tool life, always lubricate the air line by adding a few drops of pneumatic
tool oil to the air line (or Air Inlet) before each use. Or, install the automatic oiler-lter
system as illustrated on page 5.
3. Before each use, drain water out of the air compressor tank and condensation from
the air lines. Refer to the Air Compressor Operation Manual.
4. Store the Impact Wrench in a clean and dry location.
