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.
Specications
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
1 Cleaning the air hose
ƑA 3/8" air hose is required, with a maximum length of 25 ft.
ƑClean 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.

F In-line Lubricator
G In-line Filter
H Air Compressor
Maintenance
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
ƑAn in-line lter-regulator-lubricator is recommended as it increases tool life and keeps the tool in sustained
operation.
ƑRegularly check and ll the in-line lubricator with air tool oil. Avoid using excessive amounts of oil.
ƑAdjust 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.
ƑIf 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.
ƑRecommended 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.

Please contact 1-800-356-3392 for further assistance.
Operation
1 Operating the impact wrench
ƑThis 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.
2 Changing the output torque direction
ƑThis tool features a forward/reverse throttle lever to
change the output torque direction to tighten (assemble) or
loosen (disassemble) the bolt or fastener.
3 Changing the output torque level
ƑThis tool features a power management switch. This tool
operates in the maximum power in the Reverse position
and has three steps in the Forward position.
ƑTurn the regulator until the desired output torque level is
achieved. The position with the smallest circle has the
least amount of power and the position with the largest
circle has the most amount of power. The settings on
the regulator are only for reference and do not denote a
specic power output.
4 Tightening/loosening the bolts or
fasteners
ƑPlace the rotation push button located above the trigger of
the impact wrench to the correct direction. Turn the knob
to the (F) for the Forward position and to the (R) for the
Reverse position.
ƑTo control power in either the forward direction or the
reverse direction, adjust the regulator knob located at the
foot of the handle of the impact wrench.
ƑFit the correct size socket to the anvil of the impact
wrench.
ƑHold 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.

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

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. ƑAdjust the regulator on the tool to the
maximum setting.
ƑAdjust 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. ƑEnsure 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.
ƑDo 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.
