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 12V 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 12V
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 12V
Impact Wrench.
Do not operate the tool without a load at full speed for any length of time.
Operation
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.
Plug the 12 volt power adapter plug into the vehicle cigarette lighter socket.
The LED light will turn on when the wrench is powered, indicating the
wrench is running and also functioning as a work light.
