Before Use
Fitting the quick connector
Note: This tool is supplied with two different male airline quick connectors:
EQ-4 – commonly used in Europe
EN-6 – mainly used in the UK
EQ-4
Europe
• Please choose the connector that is compatible with the airline system you are using, and install
as outlined below:
1. Apply some PTFE tape (not included) to the screw threads of the Quick Connector (2).
This will help to maintain an air-tight seal
Note: Apply PTFE tape tightly and in a clockwise direction, so it does not come off when the thread
is screwed into the tool.
2. Remove the protective plug from the air inlet
3. Using a spanner (not included) screw the quick connector into the air inlet located at the
base of the handle
4. Connect to airline, pressurise carefully and carry out a leak check
(e.g. by spraying small amounts of soapy water on to the outside of the connectors)
• Air lines fitted with matching female quick connectors will now be a push fit to the tool

AIR TOOL
RECOIL HOSE
LEADER HOSE
• This tool should be connected to a clean, dry air supply with inline oiler and water separator
• Do not allow supply pressure to exceed the maximum stated (see 'Specifications')
• Ensure that water is drained from air system daily
• Ensure all parts of the system (hoses, couplers, etc.) are correctly rated for the air pressure to
be used
Setting tool power
• The tool speed/power can be adjusted by increasing or reducing the air supply pressure within
the range specified in 'Specifications'
• Whilst working with the tool, speed adjustments can be made via the Speed Control Trigger (3)
Attaching sockets
WARNING: Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before attaching or removing sockets.
1. Push a suitable socket directly on to the ½" Square Drive (4), until the retention ball engages
and you hear a 'clicking' sound
Note: Use the supplied adapter to connect sockets with 3/8" square drive.
2. To remove, firmly grip the socket and pull it off the drive
Select direction
• For clockwise drive rotation, turn the Forward/Reverse Switch (1) anticlockwise into the position
marked 'F'
• For anticlockwise drive rotation, turn the forward/reverse switch clockwise into the position
marked 'R'
Operation
1. Install the required socket, select the desired direction and connect the air ratchet to
the air supply
2. Place the impact socket over the subject nut
WARNING: Take care that the socket has firmly engaged the nut to be driven.
3. Press the Speed Control Trigger (3) against the body of the tool to start
4. Release the trigger to stop the tool
Note: DO NOT allow the ratchet to run in 'idle rotation' for an extended period of time. This will
shorten its life.
WARNING: DO NOT use any additional force on the wrench to drive a nut or bolt. This may damage
the tool.
WARNING: Depending on the exact air pressure, the torque delivered by this air ratchet may vary.
Always use a calibrated torque wrench to torque your fasteners after driving with this ratchet.
WARNING: Be aware that air tools may hold residual pressure after use. Always bleed air pressure
from the tool after shutting off air supply.
