1. This impact wrench is rated to 9/16 in. USS bolt size. Rating will decrease for U-Bolts,
Long Cap Screws, Spring Fasteners and rusted or corroded fasteners. All of these
factors absorb power and reduce torque capability.
2. Use the simplest socket to wrench hook-up. Any additional extensions, U-joints or
adaptors will absorb power and reduce torque capability.
3. Use only impact sockets designed for impact wrenches.
4. Forward/Reverse Lever. Select “F” for Forward (clockwise) or “R” for Reverse (counter-
clockwise) operation. Do not attempt to change direction while tool is running.
5. If fastener bogs, slows or binds the tool, or if the fastener fails to move after 5 seconds,
use a larger size impact wrench with a higher torque rating. Overloading this tool will
cause premature wear and/or permanent damage to internal and external drive parts
and will void warranty.
6. The air regulator can be used as an air
throttle. Turn air regulator knob out
(counter-clockwise) for maximum power.
7. Torque setting: To set the tool to desired
torque, select a fastener of known
tightness of the same size, thread pitch
and thread condition as those on the
job. Turn air regulator to lowest position.
Apply wrench to (turn regulator out) until
fastener moves slightly in the direction it
was originally set. The wrench is now
set to duplicate the torque applied to this
fastener. Critical torque specifications
cannot be met by any wrench in this
class. Use an appropriate torque wrench
to obtain a specific torque.
Oil tool before each use.
4 to 5 drops of a good grade Air Tool Oil placed in the air inlet is
sufficient. Use proper air pressure and CFM rating listed for this tool.
Drain water from hoses and compressor tank.
Water in the air supply line will cause
gumming and loss of power. Clean the air filter on the supply line and flush the tool with
gum solvent or a 50/50 mix of air tool oil and kerosene. It may be necessary to
disassemble the tool to properly clean and re-lubricate.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
ASSEMBLY / INSTALLATION
1. You will need to prepare the 1/4" Quick-disconnect Coupler Plug to connect to the air
inlet on the sander. Wrap the Coupler Plug with pipe thread seal tape before threading it
into the Air Inlet. Connect the a Quick-Disconnect coupler on a 3/8" ID Air Source Hose
to the tool.
Note:
If you are not using an automatic oiler system, before operation, add a few drops of
Pneumatic Tool Oil to the airline connection. Add a few drops more after each hour of
continual use.
2. Set the air pressure on your compressor to 90 PSI. Do not exceed the recommended air
pressure of 90 PSI.
3. Check the air connection for leaks. Once you are satisfied there are no leaks, turn off the
air compressor and disconnect the tool.
Clean air of correct air pressure is recommended for the power supply for this tool. A
maximum of 90 PSI at the tool is recommended for most air tools of this class. Check
specifications section for recommended pressure. (Depending on length of air hose and
other circumstances, air pressure at compressor may need to be increased to 100 PSI to
ensure 90 PSI at the tool.)
Water in the air hose and compressor tank contributes to reduced performance and
damage of the air tool. Drain the air tank and filters before each use and as necessary to
keep the air supply dry.
Hose length over 25’ causes loss in line pressure. Increase hose I.D. or increase
compressor pressure to compensate for the pressure loss. Use an in-line pressure
regulator with gauge if air inlet pressure is critical.

13. 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.
14. Maintenance. For your safety, maintenance should be performed regularly by a
qualified technician using original PERFORMANCE TOOLS® replacement parts.
Failure to do so can lead to accidents for the operator. Use of any other parts will void
the warranty. Only use accessories intended for use with this tool. Approved
accessories are available from Performance Tool®. 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.
