OPERATION
NOTE: A whistling or ringing noise coming from the switch
during use is a normal part of the switch function.
WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating condition.
Lock the switch when not in use or carrying at your
side, when installing or removing the battery pack,
and when installing or removing sockets.
LED LIGHTS
See Figure 4, page 9.
The LED lights near the collar illuminate when the switch
trigger is depressed.
If the tool is not in use, the time-out feature will cause the
light to start fading and then shut off.
The LED lights illuminate only when there is a charged bat-
tery pack in the tool.
INSTALLING AND REMOVING SOCKETS
See Figure 5, page 9.
Always select the correct size socket for nuts and bolts. Us-
ing the wrong size socket may damage the nut or bolt and
cause the fastening torque to be inaccurate or inconsistent.
 Lock the switch trigger and remove the battery pack.
 Push a 3/8 in. socket (not included) onto the anvil until
the detent pin locks it into place.
 To remove the socket (not included), pull it away from the
anvil.

OPERATING THE RATCHET
See Figure 6, page 8.
WARNING:
Do not drive a bolt where there is likely to be hidden
wiring behind the surface. Contact with a "live"
wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and shock the operator. If you must drive a
bolt where hidden wire could be present, always
hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces (handle)
when performing the operation to prevent a shock
to the operator.
NOTICE:
The ratchet is not designed to be used as a drill.
Proper fastening torque is determined by the kind of bolt,
the size of the bolt, or the material of the workpiece. This
tool is designed only to speed the installation and removal
process and is not intended to replace a torque wrench. For
applications where proper torque is important, always use
a torque wrench to verify that proper torque is achieved.
NOTE: Do not use this tool to install lug nuts on wheels.
 Install the desired socket.
 Adjust the dial on the back of the ratchet head to choose
the desired rotation direction of the socket.
 Hold the tool in front of the workpiece with the socket
over the nut or bolt.
 Depress the switch trigger and fasten or loosen as desired.
NOTE: After fastening, always check the torque with a
torque wrench.
NOTICE:
Do not turn the tool off and attempt to use the tool
manually to gain extra torque on the nut or bolt
being tightened. Doing so could cause damage
to the fastener and/or the tool.
