Security
electrical device can lead to serious injuries.
b) Wear personal protective gear and always
wear protective glasses. Wearing personal
protective gear like a dust mask, slip-proof
safety shoes, protective helmet and hearing
protection, depending on the type and usage
of the electrical tool reduces the risk of injuries.
c) Avoid unintentional start-up. Ensure your-
self that the flip switch
is not on before
8
plugging in the power cable. Having your
finger on the switch when carrying it or
connecting it to the power when it is al-
ready on can lead to accidents.
d) Do not bend over. Ensure a secure stand and
keep your balance at all times. This way you
are better able to control the device in un-
expected situations.
e) Wear adequate clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose cloth-
ing, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
4) Careful handling of electrical tools
a) Do not subject the device to overload. Use
the intended electrical tool for your work.
Using the right electrical tool makes your
work faster and safer in the stated work area.
b) Do not use an electrical tool with a broken
power switch. An electrical tool that cannot
be switched on or off is dangerous and
needs to be repaired.
c) Should replacement of the connecting cable
be necessary, this must be done by the man-
ufacturer or his representative to prevent
safety risks.
d) Pull the plug from the socket before chang-
ing the accessory parts or put the device
away. This measure prevents unintentional
start-up of the device
e) Keep electrical tools not in use out of the
reach of children. Do not let people use the
device that are not familiar with the device
or did not read these instructions. Electrical
tools are hazardous if they are used by inex-
16
GB
perienced people.
f) Take care of the device. Check whether
moveable parts work faultlessly and do not
get stuck, whether parts are broken or dam-
aged such that the function of the device is
impeded. Have damaged parts repaired prior
to using the device. Many accidents are
caused by poorly serviced electrical tools.
g) Use electrical tools, accessories etc. accord-
ing to these instructions and in the way it is
prescribed for this special type of device.
Consider the working conditions and the
task to be done. Using electrical tools for
purposes other than those intended may
lead to dangerous situations.
5) Service
a) Only have electrical tools repaired by spe-
cialists. Only identical spare parts may be
used. This way, the safety of the device is
guaranteed.
Special safety notices for
impact wrenches
J
Only use the impact wrench with 12 V-direct
current. Never try to connect it to other
sources of power.
J
Do not use the impact wrench for more than
8 minutes without interruptions in order to
prevent the tool motor from overheating.
J
Ensure that you have read and understood
the instructions and all safety instructions
that were supplied with the vehicle before
starting on the repairs or service work on
the vehicle.
J
Ensure that the cigarette lighter bush-
ing / 12 V-bushing of the vehicle is protected
with a fuse of at least 15 A. Read the vehicle
manual or ask the manufacturer in case of
doubt.
J
Pay attention that the ignition of the vehicle
on which the impact wrench is used is set to
OFF.
J
Ensure that the vehicle on which the impact
wrench is used is secured and cannot roll
away. Pay attention that the handbrake is
tightened.
J
Remove the impact wrench from the ciga-
rette lighter bushing / 12 V-bushing and from
the wheel nuts before trying to drive the ve-
hicle.
J
For longer periods of non-use, remove the
impact wrench from the bushing. Some ve-
hicle models continue to supply the ciga-
rette lighter bushing / 12 V-bushing with
power, even if the ignition was turned off,
this means that the car battery may loose
power then.
J
Avoid all contact with battery acid, it is
caustic. Should your face come into contact
with battery acid, rinse it thoroughly with
running water and contact your physician.
Should battery acid come into contact with
your eyes, rinse them with running water for
at least 10 minutes and contact your physician.
J
Pay attention to correct polarity. Avoid short
circuits.
Operation
Connection to 12 V-socket / bushing
WarnIng!
Only connect it to a cigarette
lighter bushing / 12 V-bushing if it is protected
with a fuse of more than 15 A. Should the ciga-
rette lighter bushing / 12 V-bushing be secured
with less than 15 A, connect the impact wrench
directly to the battery.
j
Remove the cigarette lighter from the ciga-
rette lighter bushing resp. the cover etc.
from the 12 V-bushing of the vehicle.
j
Connect the 12 V-plug
to the cigarette
9
lighter bushing / 12 V-bushing of the vehicle.
Security / Operation
Connecting to the battery
WarnIng!
Pay attention when connecting
the clamps
and
that no electrical connec-
12
13
tion is created by conducting material between
the two clamps.
The impact wrench can be connected directly to
car battery using the included battery adapter
cable
.
14
j
Connect the clamp red (positive)
of the
12
battery adapter cable
to the positive (+)
14
connection of the care battery.
j
Connect the clamp black (negative)
of
13
the battery adapter cable
to the negative
14
(-) connection to the car battery.
j
Connect the 12 V-plug
to the 12 V-bush-

ing
.
15
Loosen / tighten wheel nuts
j
Connect the impact wrench to a 12 V-power
source like described before.
j
Select the matching socket
or
and
16
17
connect it to the square drive
of the
2
impact wrench.
j
If applicable, remove covers of the wheel
nuts and place the socket tightly onto the
wheel nut or the wheel bolt.
j
Activate the flip switch to clockwise- / or
counter clockwise rotation
, by pushing
8
down on it on the upper side (symbol g =
Loosen /counter clockwise). You can tell by
the engine sound that the impact wrench
builds up torque first and then transfers to
the screw with one „impact". Due to the in-
creasing torque with every impact, the screw
is loosened. You can now remove it by hand.
j
Proceed the same with all wheel nuts, until
you can remove the wheel.
j
Place the other / new wheel in position. Pay
attention that the holes in the rim match
the drillings of the wheel carrier.
j
First, tighten all wheel nuts by hand.
j
Place the socket onto the wheel nut and
activate the flip switch clockwise / counter
