Intended Usage
The SW Impact Wrench is designed to loosen or tighten vehicle lug
nuts for tires.
It is intended for occasional intermittent use, not commercial
purposes.
Caution: This 12v SW Impact Wrench can only be used on
small/midsize cars & 4x4’s! It CANNOT be used on trucks.
Caution
Warning: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Use the
Impact Wrench in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
then those intended could result in a hazardous situation and
serious injury.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause the operator to lose control.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts that they can
get caught on.
• Screws, nuts and bolts that have been tightened to a specific
torque should be tightened with a torque wrench once the
vehicle has been fitted in place. If you are in doubt as to the
correct torque stipulated for your vehicle, consult your car
manufacturer. The nuts should be tightened once more after
driving a distance of approximately 50 kilometers.

Safety Warnings
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
• Do not operate the tool if the SW Impact Wrench or the power cord
shows visible signs of damage.
• Only connect the tool to a correctly installed cigarette lighter adapter
with 12v power.
• Do not let the tool or power cord get wet. Never use the tool in the
rain. Water penetrating an electrical device increases the risk or
electrical shock.
• Do not use the tool in potentially explosive environments containing
combustible liquids, gases or dust. Electrical tools generate sparks
that can ignite the dust or vapors. Do not throw the tool into an
open fire or water.
• Do not overload the tool. Do not apply excessive pressure to the
SW Impact Wrench. If the screws cannot be moved and the wrench
freezes, stop operation. Either use a more powerful tool or continue
with a manual wrench. Do not attempt to continue to turn the screw
manually with the SW Impact Wrench.
• Do not operate the tool without a load at full speed for any length of
time.
Operation - Please Note: To prevent powering on the tool by
accident: ensure the switch is in the OFF position before
connecting to the power source, and picking up or carrying the tool.
1. Plug the 12 volt power adapter plug into the vehicle cigarette lighter
socket.
2. The LED light will turn on when the wrench is powered, indicating
the wrench is running and also functioning as a small work light.
3. Thread a screw/nut on by hand. Note: always thread a screw or nut
by hand to start it before tightening with the SW Impact Wrench.
4. Attach an appropriately sized socket wrench on the square retainer.
The 2 socket wrenches can be flipped to use 4 different diameters.

counter-clockwise rotation.
6. Pull the ON/OFF trigger switch to turn the tool on. Release the
trigger switch to turn the tool off.
7. Do not operate the tool for longer than 10 minutes without
interruption. Afterwards, take 10 minutes to allow the wrench to
cool down.
8. After tightening, check the screw connections for visible signs of
damage.
Product Care
• Handle the tool and accessories with care and keep them clean to
ensure a long service life.
• Do not make any modifications to the tool. Repairs to the tool or
power cord should be carried out by an authorized service
technician.
• Disconnect the plug from the cigarette lighter before cleaning parts
of the tool, or if there is a problem with the tool.
• Do not use caustic, abrasive or solvent-based products for
cleaning.
• Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the tool clean.
• Prevent oil or oil products from entering the plastic casing. The
chemicals they contain could corrode or damage the plastic.
Grease and oil-based grime must be immediately wiped off the
tool and accessories with a slightly damp cloth.
• Store idle power tools out of reach of children and do not allow
people unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions operate
it. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
