VIBRATION PRECAUTIONS
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to
vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly
to the hands, arms and shoulders.
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period
should first be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical
checkups to ensure medial problems are not being caused by or
worsened from tool use. Pregnant women or people who have
impaired blood circulation to the hands, past hand injuries, nervous
system disorders, diabetes or Raynaud’s Disease should not use
this tool. If you feel any medical symptoms related to vibrations
(such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek
medical attention as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood flow to the
hands and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration eects on
the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest amount of vibration when there is a
choice between dierent processes.
5. Do not use for extended periods. Take frequent breaks when using
this tool.

SOCKET INSTALLATION
Turn o the air compressor and disconnect the air hose when changing
sockets. After attaching the socket, attach the air hose and turn the air
compressor on.
The working torque of the impact wrench is 200 to 500 ft-lb. Make sure
that the nut or bolt you are using the tool to tighten can withstand the
rated torque and is rated for 8,000 RPM or greater. If available, check the
recommended torque specifications of the nut.
1. Select the appropriately sized 1/2 in. drive impact socket for
the job.
NOTE: Only use impact sockets which are specifically designed for
use with an impact wrench. Do not use worn or damaged sockets.
2. Push and snap the socket (sold separately) onto the anvil.
OPERATION
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. Tighten the nut as far as you can by hand before using the
impact wrench.
2. Connect the impact wrench to the air hose.
3. Place the socket on the nut and grip the impact wrench tightly with
both hands. Press the trigger to start the tool.
NOTE: If the tool stalls while tightening, do not raise the output
pressure of the air compressor above 90 PSI.
4. Set the reverse switch to forward, so that the anvil turns
clockwise (forward).
5. Place the socket over the fastener, grip the impact wrench firmly
with both hands and gently squeeze the trigger.
6. Turn the air regulator in the direction indicated by the arrow on the
regulator to increase the power. Turn the regulator in the opposite
direction to decrease the power.

1/2 in. dr Composite Air Impact Wrench
Visit www.princessauto.com for more information 9
8327827 V 3.05
NOTE: If the impact wrench does not tighten the fastener to your
satisfaction, do not raise the air pressure on the compressor over
90 PSI. Pressure above 90 PSI will strip the work piece and damage
the tool, potentially causing tool failure and serious injury. Use
other appropriate methods and tools to tighten the nut.
7. When the fastener is tightened, release the trigger and remove the
tool and socket.
8. Use a mechanical torque wrench to check the fastener torque.
9. To loosen, set the reverse switch to reverse, so that the anvil turns
counterclockwise (reverse).
10. When finished with the tool, turn o the air compressor, disconnect
the air hose and discharge any residual air remaining in the tool.
Put the impact wrench away in a safe storage area.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Disconnect the tool from the air supply before changing
accessories, servicing or performing maintenance. Replace or repair
damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Non-authorized parts may
be dangerous.
1. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that
appears to be damaged should be carefully checked to determine
that it would operate properly and perform its intended functions.
Check for alignment and binding of moving parts, for broken parts
or mounting fixtures, or for any other condition that may aect
proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be repaired or
replaced by a qualified technician.
2. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Only use
accessories intended for use with this tool. Replace damaged
parts immediately.
3. Keep the tool clean. Wipe the tool with a clean cloth and
periodically blow out all areas with compressed air. If compressed
air is not available, use a brush to remove dust from all areas.
Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents to clean the tool. These
chemicals could seriously damage the plastic housing.
4. Regularly inspect all mountings and screws to ensure tightness.
Should any screws become loose, tighten immediately.
5. If repairs are required, bring your tool to an authorized
service centre.

1/2 in. dr Composite Air Impact Wrench
10 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685
V 3.05 8327827
6. Wipe the tool with a lint free cloth after each use.
7. Make sure the anvil is clear of dirt or debris. If possible, spray it with
compressed air before and after each use.
8. If an inline oil / filter system is not used, lubricate the tool daily by
holding it so that the air inlet is facing up. Squeeze the trigger and
place one or two drops of air tool oil into the air inlet. Squeezing
the trigger allows the oil to circulate in the motor.
LUBRICATION
1. It is very important that the tool be properly lubricated. Without
proper lubrication, the tool will not work properly and parts will
wear prematurely. Manually dropping a drop or two of air tool oil
once a day into the tool’s male connector is better than using an
automatic in-line lubricator, which should only be required when
there are multiple users of the same tool.
2. Keep the air line lubricator filled and correctly adjusted. The in-line
lubricator should be regularly checked and filled with air tool oil.
Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by placing
a sheet of paper next to the 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. Excessive amounts of
oil should be avoided.
3. Air tool oil is the only recommended lubricant for use in all air
tools. Do not try to use other types of lubricants to oil your tools.
Using the wrong lubricant will cause premature tool failure and
/ or loss of power. Use only recommended lubricants, specially
made for pneumatic applications. Substitutes may harm the rubber
compounds in the tool’s O-rings and other rubber parts.
4. Oiling your air tool regularly is important, but it is also important
not to over oil your air tool. Over oiling can cause premature tool
failure. Your tool may not be ruined, but it will begin to experience
loss of power that will continually get worse until it no longer
works. The tool then has to be taken apart and cleaned of
excess oil.
5. All air tools are packed in grease to prevent corrosion of internal
parts during shipping and storage. We recommend you clean this
out to have optimum performance from your new air tool. Add a
generous amount of air tool oil in the air inlet, and then run the tool
under no load until exhaust is clear to remove packing grease. To
maintain, add only one or two drops daily.

8327827 V 3.05
6. In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an
extended period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.), it should
receive a generous amount of lubrication at that time. The tool
should be run for approximately 30 seconds to ensure oil has been
evenly distributed throughout the tool. The tool should be stored in
a clean and dry environment.
WARNING! Never use penetrating oil to clean or lubricate your air tool.
Penetrating oils are a solvent that will break down the internal grease
and cause the air tool to seize up.
DISPOSING OF THE TOOL
If your tool has become damaged beyond repair, do not throw it out. Take
it to the appropriate recycling facility.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem Possible Cause(s) Suggested Solution(s)
Tool runs at normal
speed but loses
power under load.
Motor parts worn. Have a qualified technician
replace worn parts.
Cam clutch is worn due to
lack of lubricant.
1. Lubricate the
clutch housing.
2. Check for excess clutch
oil. Overfilling can cause
drag on high speed
clutch parts.

se fait entendre provenant du tuyau à air ou des connecteurs
pendant le fonctionnement de l’outil. Remplacez la conduite d’air
ou le composant défectueux.
3. Veillez à ce que personne ou aucun matériel mobile ou des
véhicules n’écrasent la conduite d’air non protégée. Placez la
conduite d’air à l’écart des zones de circulation intense, soit à
l’intérieur d’un conduit renforcé ou placez des planches des deux
côtés de la conduite d’air afin de créer un couloir protecteur.
4. Pour éviter tout dommage à la conduite d’air, observez les
précautions suivantes :
a. Ne transportez jamais l’outil par la conduite d’air.
b. Gardez la conduite d’air derrière l’outil et hors du trajet
de l’outil.
c. Gardez la conduite d’air à l’écart des sources de chaleur, de
l’huile, des rebords coupants ou des pièces mobiles.
d. N’enroulez pas la conduite d’air autour de l’outil, car les bords
tranchants risquent de percer ou fissurer la conduite d’air.
Enroulez la conduite d’air pour l’entreposage.
5. Une conduite d’air endommagée ou débranchée sous pression
peut se comporter à la façon d’un fouet et infliger des blessures
corporelles ou endommager l’aire de travail. Fixez la conduite d’air
du compresseur à une structure fixe ou permanente au moyen de
brides ou d’attache-câbles.
6. Installez une soupape d’arrêt ou un régulateur sur la conduite afin
de permettre une commande immédiate de l’alimentation en air, en
cas d’urgence, même si un tuyau se fend.
