OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Selecting correct socket
Always use the correct size socket for bolts and nuts. An
incorrect size socket will result in inaccurate and incon-
sistent fastening torque and/or damage to the bolt or nut.
Installing or removing socket
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the socket.
1. For socket without O-ring and pin (Fig. 1)
To install the socket, push it onto the anvil of the tool
until it locks into place.
To remove the socket, simply pull it off.
2. For socket with O-ring and pin (Fig. 2)
Move the O-ring out of the groove in the socket and
remove the pin from the socket. Fit the socket onto
the anvil of the tool so that the hole in the socket is
aligned with the hole in the anvil. Insert the pin
through the hole in the socket and anvil. Then return
the O-ring to the original position in the socket
groove to retain the pin. To remove the socket, follow
the installation procedures in reverse.
Switch action (Fig. 3)
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF"
position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool speed
is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger.
Release the swithch trigger to stop.
Holding the tool (Fig. 3)
Hold the tool only by the handle when performing an
operation.
Do not touch the metal part.
Reversing switch action (Fig. 4)
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a
ENB003-1
complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation
before the tool stops may damage the tool.
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of
rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the A
side for clockwise rotation or from the B side for counter-
clockwise rotation.
Hook
The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.
This can be removed without using a tool. This can be
installed on either side of the tool.
Installing and removing hook (Fig. 5)
Expand the upper part of the hook in both directions and
remove it. To install the hook, follow the removal proce-
dure in reverse.
