1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. During use, maintain control of the tool.
2. The operators represent the most important aspect of safety. To best protect against
the risk of injury, work cautiously and carefully.
3. The pneumatic tool should not be used and repaired by someone under the influence of
drugs or alcohol.
4. When a fault / defect is detected, immediately disconnect the power supply cord from
the tool.
1.1 Risks Associated with the Work Area
1. Keep unqualified people, children, etc. away from the work environment and the
pneumatic tool.
2. Only use to tool with proper lighting and visibility.
3. Pay attention in unknown work environments and areas. The pneumatic tool is not
isolated from the power supply.
4. Be especially careful to avoid contact with dust, air jets or other pollutants. If
necessary, wear a dust mask.
5. It is important to maintain a stable and secure position while working. Beware of air
hoses, which can cause you to trip and fall.
1.2 Risks Associated with the Presence of Rotating and/or Moving
Parts
Grab the pneumatic tool correctly, using the appropriate "gun" handle.
Never touch the rotating parts of the tool, particularly the socket-holder quick connector.
Vibration, repetitive motions and uncomfortable positions may be harmful to your arms and
hands. Discontinue use of the air impact wrench if you experience symptoms of physical
discomfort, tingling and pain.
While working, do not wear loose clothing or jewellery that could get caught in the moving
parts of the tool. Similarly, put hair back in a net or a cap.

2. the square drive for the assembly of the sockets;
3. the selector button for the direction of rotation;
4. the start "trigger" lever for the wrench.
5. the speed adjustment knob;
6. compressed air quick coupling

4 COMMISSIONING
Before it is possible to use the pneumatic gun Art. 0786, put a few drops of lubricating oil
(without resin acid) into the air inlet nozzle (Figure 8 ref. C), remove the air inlet cap, then
screw the nozzle supplied:
3/4" NPT Male Quick-Release Coupling
1. Check the flexible air supply hose. If it is damaged, broken, torn or deformed it must not
be connected to the tool.
2. Check the state of the quick-release couplings (both on the tool and the hose). If signs of
damage are detected, it is broken or excessively corroded, the tool or the flexible hose
cannot be used.
3. The tool must be connected to the air supply source by means of an FRL air conditioning
unit, consisting of a filter, pressure regulator and lubricator, as shown in Figure 4.
The compressed air used must be clean and with the right mix of oil. Adjust the lubricator
in such a way that it applies 3 to 6 drops of oil per minute. Furthermore, the maximum
length of the hose must be a maximum of 6/8 metres.
Figure 4 - Connecting the air supply.
4. Insert the quick coupling of the supply hose into the air inlet nozzle at the bottom of the
handle.

4.1 General warnings
Air Pressure
To ensure proper operation and compliance with safety regulations, the operating pressure of
the compressed air must not exceed 6 bar (90 psi).
Higher pressures may cause damage and excessive wear of the tool.
Information on the working pressure is displayed on the tool's CE plate and in the instructions.
Crushing and Cutting
When connecting the air supply hose to the tool, while attaching the quick coupling, do not
hold down the tool's power lever.

5 HOW TO USE
5.1 Mounting of sockets and extensions
Crushing and Cutting
Before attaching and/or removing the sockets and extensions always remove the air supply
hose.
Protective gloves
Before attaching and/or removing the sockets and extensions wear suitable protective gloves.
1. Select the socket with the desired size.
2. Insert the square hole of the socket onto the square drive and push it firmly down
toward the ratchet itself.
Assembling the Socket
Always ensure that the socket is fitted and assembled perfectly.
Check that the steel ball on the side of the square element clicks into place correctly.
To assemble the extensions follow the same procedure as described above.
Conversely, to remove the socket, grasp it by the outer edge and remove it by pulling it
upwards.
5.2 Power On/Off
(Personal Protective Equipment) PPE
Before using the ratchet wrench, wear suitable work clothing, gloves, shoes and protective
goggles.
Also wear protective devices for the ears (hearing protectors), such as earmuffs, earplugs,
etc..

Workspace
Be familiar with the work area.
Always check the work area before using the ratchet wrench.
Keep the work area clean, uncluttered and well lit.
After assembling the socket and connecting the flexible compressed air supply hose, grab the
impact wrench by its "gun" handle.
To adjust the direction of rotation of the wrench it it necessary to push the pin located at the
front (Figure 5 / A), the pressure on this side causes the exiting of the pin from the back
which allows the rotation direction to be inverted (figure 5/B).
F(FORWARD) →Rotate clockwise to TIGHTEN/SCREW
R(REVERSE) →Rotate anticlockwise to LOOSEN/UNSCREW
Figure 5 – Adjusting the rotation direction.
Rotate the speed adjustment knob of the wrench (and
the maximum torque) to the desired position, 9
different positions are possible (Figure 6).
“1” →minimum speed
“9” →maximum speed
Figure 6 – Speed adjustment.
To turn on the wrench and begin the rotation of the socket, press the "trigger" lever on the
butterfly valve (Ref. 4 in Figures 2 and 7).

The impact wrench's start lever is a continuous hold lever, in
the sense that the function controlled (i.e., the rotation of the
accessory) is active as long as the lever itself is kept pressed.
Therefore, release the lever to shut it down in an emergency.
Figure 7 – Starting the tool
The impact wrench's start lever is a continuous hold lever, in the sense that the function
controlled (i.e., the rotation of the accessory) is active as long as the lever itself is kept
pressed.
Therefore, release the lever to shut it down in an emergency.
Emergency
In case of an emergency, immediately release the ratchet wrench's power lever.
Disconnect the air hose and turn off the tool in the event of the following:
to change out or substitute the sockets and/or extensions;
to clean, rebuild or perform maintenance on the ratchet wrench;
if the ratchet wrench will not used for some time.

6 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
The purpose of this chapter is to provide all the information on maintenance procedures and
the frequency required for the Air impact wrench.
INTERVENTION Frequency
Daily Weekly
1. General visual inspection X
2. General cleaning X
3. Clean the air outlet nozzle X
4. Lubricate moving parts X
1. General visual inspection: check the overall condition of the pneumatic tool,
particularly for any damaged or missing parts. Also check for the presence and
legibility of plates.
2. General cleaning: cleaning is necessary to rid the body of oil deposits, dust or dirt
accumulation.
Risks associated with cleaning
Disconnect the air supply hose and clean the body of the tool. Do not use organic solvents to
avoid corrosion or discolouration.
3. Clean the air outlet nozzle: cleaning is necessary to free the hot air outlet nozzle
and filter of dirt accumulation. Do not use paint thinner, gasoline, or similar substances
to clean the nozzle.
4. Lubricating moving parts: lubricate all the gears and moving mechanical parts of the
wrench, at least once a day, as described below:
a. Insert lubricating oil inside the compressed air inlet nozzle (Figure 8 / B).
To do this, disconnect the air hose, turn over the wrench and put a few drops of
oil into the nozzle using an oiler.
b. Insert lubricating oil inside the housing of the accessory (Figure 8 / A).
To do this, unscrew the hex screw located on the side of the casing, rest the tool
on a horizontal surface, and then insert the oil using an oiler.
