8. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or
across running machines or air hoses.
9. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean for better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords and air hoses
periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician. The
handles must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease at all times.
10. Disconnect air supply. Disconnect air hose when not in use.
11. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from the tool or machine work surface before plugging it in.
12. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the trigger is released when not in use and
before plugging in. Do not carry any tool with your finger on the trigger, whether it is
plugged in or not.
13. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool
when you are tired.
14. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts
or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.
Do not use the tool if any switch does not turn On and Off properly.
15. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.
16. Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories
intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are available from Harbor Freight
Tools.
17. Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning
labels if taking prescription medicine to determine if your judgement or reflexes are
impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the Wrench.
18. Use proper size and type extension cord. If an extension cord is required, it must be
of the proper size and type to supply the correct current to the compressor without
heating up. Otherwise, the extension cord could melt and catch fire, or cause electrical
damage to the compressor. Check your air compressor’s manual for the appropriate
size cord.
19. Maintenance. For your safety, maintenance should be performed regularly by a
qualified technician.
20. Compressed air only. Never use combustible gas as a power source.
21. This Impact Wrench should only be used with impact sockets and extensions.
Using any other accessories can cause the accessories to break, causing permanent
damage to the unit and severe injury to the operator.

Operation (continued)
Warning!! This Impact Wrench supplies powerful torque and is designed to be operated with
two hands. Failure to operate the Impact Wrench with two hands may result in serious injury.
Refer to FIGURES 1 through 3 on page 6, and the Assembly Drawing on page 8.
Note: Turn off your air compressor and disconnect the air hose when you are changing sock-
ets. After you attach the socket, attach the air hose and turn the air compressor on.
4.
5.
6.
Select the appropriate size 3/4” drive socket for your needs.
Push and snap the socket (not included) onto the Anvil (39).
To operate the Regulator Knob (15), follow the directions in FIGURE 2 on page 6.
Note: Set the Reverse Valve (13) so that the anvil turns clockwise (forward) - see FIGURE 3
on page 6.

9.
Tighten the nut as tight as you can by hand.
Place the socket (not included) over the nut you wish to tighten.
Grip the Impact Wrench firmly with two hands and gently squeeze the Trigger (2).
Note: If the Impact Wrench cannot tighten the nut to your satisfaction, do not raise the air
pressure on the compressor over 90 PSI. Pressures above 90 PSI will strip the work-
piece and damage the tool, potentially causing the tool to fail, causing serious injury.
Use other appropriate methods and tools to tighten the nut.
10.
When the nut is tightened, release the Trigger (2). Turn off the air compressor and
disconnect the hose.

If available, check the recommended torque specification for the nut. Use a torque
wrench to tighten the nut to the proper setting after using the Impact Wrench.

13.
Place the socket (not included) over the nut you wish to loosen.
Grip the Impact Wrench firmly with two hands and gently squeeze the Trigger (2).
Note: If the Impact Wrench cannot loosen the nut, do not raise the air pressure on the com-
pressor over 90 PSI. Do not attempt to loosen the nut with the Impact Wrench. Use
other appropriate methods and tools to loosen the nut.
14.
When the nut is loosened, release the Trigger (2). Turn off the air compressor and
disconnect the hose.
15.

Maintenance
1.
Make sure your ImpactWrench is disconnected from the air hose before attempting any
maintenance.

3.
Wipe the Impact Wrench down with a lint free cloth after each use.
Make sure the Anvil (39) is clear of dirt or debris. If possible, spray it with compressed
air before each use.
4.
5.
Annually, or more often if used on a daily basis, use a grease gun (not included), to
inject grease into the Grease Fitting (12). See FIGURE 3.
If you do not use an inline oiler/filter system, lubricate the tool daily by holding it so that
the Inlet (8) is facing up.Squeeze the Trigger (2), and place one or two drops of oil into
the Inlet (8). Squeezing the Trigger (2) allows the oil to circulate in the motor.
