TOOL USE AND CARE
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
applications. The correct tools will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Check for misalignment of binding or binding or
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may effect the tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when
used on another tool.
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in a risk
of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement
parts. Follow instruction in the Maintenance section of
this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULE
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
“live” and shock the operator.
APPLICATION
Tool can be used for tire changing, shock absorber
replacement, exhaust system work, lawn mower
repair, appliance repair and small engine work.
• Switch
Your tool starts or stops by depressing and releasing
the rocker switch. Pressing the bottom of the switch
runs in forward direction. Pressing the top of the
switch runs the reverse.
• Install/remove sockets or accessories
To install a socket on the anvil, align the hole of the
socket with the anvil, push firmly.
To remove a socket from the anvil, pull the socket
out firmly.
• Accessories
Proper use the standard bolt cap. (in./mm) 1-1/4"
(32mm).
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing use only
identical replacement parts. Use of any
other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
• Do not attempt to make any adjustment while
the tool is in operation.
• Clean out any accumulated dust.
• Do not allow petroleum base on products to
come into contact with plastic parts as they
contain chemicals that can damage, weaken
or destroy plastic.

Check extension cords before
each use. If damaged replace immediately.
Never use tool with a damaged cord since
touching the damaged area could cause
electrical shock resulting in serious injury.

Always remove the electric
power cord from the power supply before
changing brushes, drill bits, lubricating or
when working on the unit to avoid possible
serious injury.
