1. INTORDUCTION: SAFETY FIRST!
1.1. SAFETY MESSAGES
This manual contains safety messages. They point out potential hazards that could hurt you or others around you as well as damage
the equipment in use. These messages should therefore be read carefully and understood. They are highlighted by the safety alert
symbol as shown on the left:
The potential hazards are explained as to what could happen and how to avoid or reduce the chance for injury or damage.
Important information has been highlighted as well. To point out this information, a light bulb icon is used. It brings topics to your
attention that could, for example, facilitate maintenance or to clarify when it is advisable to consult your distributor/supplier.
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
The Resqtec equipment is designed to provide safe operation. All users should read and be thoroughly familiar with the operating instructions
and safety precautions stated in this manual. Operator safety depends on users being properly trained by the Authority having jurisdiction and

2.2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ThePow’renchhasbeendesignedandengineeredtoassistreghters,USAR-teamsandotherrescueworkerswiththevariousrescue

negotiate the obstacles they encounter, but to perform their work more safely.
Each time the Pow’rench is manually advanced slightly more than 30 degrees in a simple wrenching motion, it delivers a powerful torsional im-
pact equal to many times the applied force. The more work resistance, the stronger the impact until the maximum torque is reached. The power
originates in its spring loaded handle through a linkage to a rotary hammer. Impacts result from either continuous movement of the handle in one
direction or by reciprocating it as a ratchet wrench.

4. GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4.1. INITIAL USE
When receiving your equipment check for any sign of damage to the box, and report it to your distributor/supplier as damage could have oc-
curredduringshipping.Unpackinuprightpositionandchecktheproductfordamage.Tomakesuretheproductconformstoyourspecications,
check the product details on the label.
CHECK THE EQUIPMENT FOR EXTERNAL DAMAGE. NOTIFY YOUR DISTRIBUTOR/SUPPLIER IMMEDIATELY IF ANY
DAMAGE IS FOUND. DO NOT USE DAMAGED EQUIPMENT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE!
In general we distinguish a couple of different types of operations:
• (Dis)connecting square drives
• Operating the product
• Adjusting the power
• Precise tightening
4.2. PREPARATION BEFORE USE
4.3. OPERATION
The product is operated by rotation and/or reciprocation:
• Rotating the Pow’rench clockwise will fasten a nut or bolt.
• Rotating the Pow’rench counter-clockwise will unfasten a nut or bolt.
The Pow’rench can also be operated by reciprocating it like a ratchet wrench.
• Check the product's exterior. Do not use if it exhibits major damage
and/or does not function as intended. • See chapter 6 for further information.
•Checkthebolt.Itmustbermlyxed. • See chapter 6 for further information.

4.4. (DIS)CONNECTING SQUARE DRIVES
Two socket retaining pins are provided for attaching the Pow’rench to the impact socket or to different offsets and
extensions. The pins slip in and out easily and are held in place by friction.
Select the required square drive.
Connect the offset to the Pow’rench by aligning the socket retaining pins with the offset’s sockets.
To disconnect, hold the attached square drive and pull until it comes off.

FASTENING
Connect the required square drive, based on the size of the nut or bolt, with the Pow’rench. See chapter 4.4.
Place the Pow’rench and the connected square drive on the nut or bolt that needs to be fastened.
The nut or bolt is now fastened.

Rotate clockwise, or reciprocate it like a ratchet wrench. Continue until the nut or bolt is
fastened at the desired.
The arrow on the label should point to the right, indicating the
clockwise direction.

4.6. ADJUSTING THE POWER
The Pow’renches contain one control located in the handle. This control allows four power
settings (except on the Model 625, which contains only 3 settings). The power level per impact is indicated by, and is
proportional to, the position number of the indicator in the slotted side of the product handle.
THE POWER OUTPUT INCREASES AS THE SETTING NUMBER IS INCREASED. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE LOWEST
POWER SETTING THAT WILL DO THE JOB BE USED WHENEVER POSSIBLE. A POWER SETTING OVER 3 SHOULD BE
USED ONLY WHEN THIS EXTREME POWER IS REALLY NECESSARY.
Place the set screw wrench on the set screw head, recessed in the end of the handle.
Turn the set screw head with the set screw wrench.
Adjust the position of the set screw head to the required setting.

With a precision torque measuring device, check the tightness of the bolt to ascertain if the correct value was attained.
With the appropriate size Pow’rench, loosen the nut or bolt counting the number of impacts required to render it free from any bind.
Repeat this procedure until the precise torque value is attained by adding or omitting impacts.
