2. Extension bar
The extension bar is convenient for working in very
restricted spaces or when the socket provided cannot
reach the bolt to be tightened.
CAUTION
When the extension bar is used the tightening torque
is reduced slightly compared with the ordinary
socket. So it is necessary to operate the tool a little
longer to get the same torque.
3. Universal joint
The universal joint is convenient for impacting nuts
when there is an angle between the socket and
wrench, or when working in a very narrow space.
4. Corner attachment (Model EW-14R)
Use this attachment only when the machine is
applied to the nut or bolt at a right angle.
Optional accessories are subject to change without notice.
APPLICATIONS
Tightening and loosening various kinds of bolt and
nut.
PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specified on the product
nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position.
If the plug is connected to a receptacle while the
power switch is in the ON position, the power tool
will start operating immediately, which could cause
a serious accident.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is removed from the power
source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness
an rated capacity. The extension cord should be
kept as short as practicable.
4. Fixing the side handle
The position of the side handle attached to the
hammer case can be changed by unscrewing the
handle. (Right hand screw) Turn the handle to the
desired position for the job and secure the handle
by screwing up tight.
5. Mounting the socket
(1) Pin, O-ring type (Fig. 1)
Select a socket matched to the bolt to be tightened
or loosened. Insert the socket on the anvil of the
wrench, and secure it with the pin and ring. When
dismantling the socket, reverse the sequence.
(2) Plunger type (Fig. 2)
Align the plunger located in the square part of the
anvil with the hole in the hex socket. Then push
the plunger, and mount the hex socket on the anvil.
Check that the plunger is fully engaged in the hole.
When removing the socket, reverse the sequence.
HOW TO USE
1. Check the rotational direction
The socket rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear
side) by pushing the R-side of the push button.
The L-side of the push button is pushed to turn the
socket counterclockwise (See Fig. 4) (The
R
marks are provided on the body).
CAUTION
The push button can not be switched while the
impact wrench is turning. To switch the push button,
stop the impact wrench, then set the push button.
2. Switch operation
When the trigger switch is depressed, the tool
rotates. When the trigger is released, the tool stops.
The rotational speed can be controlled by varying
the amount that the trigger switch is pulled. Speed
is low when the trigger switch is pulled slightly and
increases as the trigger switch is pulled more.
3. Using the speed change lever
As shown in Fig. 4, slide the speed change lever to
the right for high speed or slide to the left for low
speed. Use the low speed side when you want to
lower the maximum applied torque (See Fig. 5).
4. Tightening and loosening bolts
A hex socket matching the bolt or nut must first
be selected. Then mount the socket on the anvil,
and grip the nut to be tightened with the hex socket.
Holding the wrench in line with the bolt, press the
power switch to impact the nut for several seconds.
If the nut is only loosely fitted to the bolt, the bolt
may turn with the nut, therefore preventing proper
tightening. In this case, stop impact on the nut and
hold the bolt head with a wrench before restarting
impact, or manually tighten the bolt and nut to
prevent them slipping.
OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS
1. Confirm the line voltage (Fig. 5)
The available tightening torque is influenced by line
voltage. Reduced line voltage lowers the available
tightening torque.
For example, if you use a 220 V type wrench on
a 200 V line the available tightening torque will be
reduced to 70 to 90 %. When extending the power
cord, use an extension cord which is as short as
possible. When the line voltage is low and a long
extension cord is needed a step up transfomer
should be used. The relation between the line voltage
and the tightening torque are shown in the figures.
