1.4.6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
1.4.7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
2. SERVICE
1. When necessary, have your power tools serviced or repaired by a qualified person using identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
3. IMPACT WRENCH SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3.1. Use the wrench correctly. Only use the impact wrench in the manner and for the functions described in these
instructions.
3.2. Changing Sockets. Always disconnect the machine from the power supply when changing sockets etc. Use only
Impact Wrench sockets....DO NOT use standard sockets.
3.3. Achieve the correct torque. Always finish tightening wheel nuts with a torque wrench or suitable spanner to the
wheel-nut torque as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
3.4. Avoid excessive use of the wrench. When tightening a nut or bolt, never allow the wrench to impact more than 8
times - to avoid over tightening - 3 to 4 impacts is sufficient.
3.5. Care of the mains cable. Keep the mains cable well away from the machine and ensure an adequate electrical
supply is close at hand so that the operation is not restricted by the length of the cable.
3.6. Use outdoor extension leads. If working outdoors, always use an approved cable extension suitable for the power
rating of this tool (see specifications), the conductor size should also be at least the same size as that on the machine, or
larger. When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.
4. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1. The plug must be thrown away if it is cut from the electric cable. There is a danger of electric shock if it is subsequently
inserted into a socket outlet.
2. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
3. Should you wish to replace a detachable fuse carrier, ensure that the correct replacement is used (as indicated by
marking or colour code).
4. Replacement fuse covers can be obtained from your local RAIDER dealer or most electrical stockists.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt any electrical repairs yourself.
5. CABLE EXTENSION
Always use an approved cable extension suitable for the power rating of this tool (see specifications), the conductor
size should also be at least the same size as that on the machine, or larger. When using a cable reel, always unwind the
cable completely.
6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CHANGING
THE SOCKET.
LOOSENING A NUT
1. Remove any wheel trim, before selecting the appropriate socket and placing firmly on the square drive of the wrench.
2. Select the appropriate socket and place firmly on the square drive of the wrench. Holding the wrench firmly in BOTH
HANDS, pull the rocker switch at 'L' marked on the casing. The torque will build up and impact the nut repeatedly until the
nut is loosened.
3. With the FORWARD/NEUTRAL/REVERSE switch in the REVERSE position, and holding the wrench firmly in BOTH
HANDS, pull the trigger fully. The nut will be impacted repeatedly until it is loosened. IMPORTANT! Release the trigger
immediately the nut begins to loosen.
4. Jack up the vehicle according to the vehicles handbook so that the wheel is clear of the ground, then proceed to fully
undo the wheel nuts.
ENSURE THAT THE CORRECT SOCKET IS BEING USED FOR THE NUTS ON YOUR PARTICULAR VEHICLE. AN
INCORRECT SOCKET SIZE IS LIKELY TO DAMAGE THE HEADS OF THE BOLTS/NUTS.
