MT2842A 3/8"Dr. Wobble Mini Air Ratchet
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN INJURY
OPERATION
This ratchet wrench is rated at 3/8" USS bolt size. Rating must be
down graded for spring U bolts, tie bolts, long cap screws, double
depth nuts, badly rusted conditions and spring fasteners as they
absorb much of the impact power. When possible, clamp or wedge
the bolt to prevent springback.
Soak rusted nuts in penetrating
oil and break rust seal before removing with ratchet wrench.
If nut does not start to move in three to five seconds, use a larger
size ratchet wrench. Do not use ratchet wrench beyond rated
capacity as this will drastically reduce tool life.
The reversing button is used to change the rotation of the tool. When
the button is turned to the left, the tool is in a forward or right hand
rotation. When the valve is turned to the right, the rotation is reverse
or left hand.
NOTE: Actual torque on a fastener is directly related to joint hardness,
tool speed, condition of socket and the time the tool is allowed
to impact. Use the simplest possible tool-to-socket hook up.
Every connection absorbs energy and reduces power.

llave de trinquete de impacto más allá de su capacidad ya que esto reducirá
drásticamente la vida útil de la herramienta.
El botón de inversión se utiliza para cambiar el sentido de rotación de
la herramienta. Cuando el botón se gira a la izquierda, la rotación de la
herramienta es delantera o derecha. Cuando se gira a la derecha, la rotación
es inversa o izquierda.
NOTA: La torsión real aplicada sobre un sujetador está directamente
relacionada con la dureza de la junta, la velocidad de la herramienta, el
estado del dado y el tiempo de impacto de la herramienta. Use el enganche
herramienta-dado más sencillo posible. Cada conexión consume energía y
reduce la potencia.
