OPERATION

NOTE: The impact wrench will not run unless the direction

of rotation selector is pushed fully to the left or right.

Avoid running the impact wrench at low speeds for

extended periods of time. Running at low speeds un-

der constant usage may cause the product to become

overheated. If this occurs, cool the product by running it

without a load and at full speed.

INSTALLING AND REMOVING SOCKETS

See Figure 4, page i.

Use only sockets designed for impact wrenches. Always

select the correct size impact socket for nuts and bolts.

CAUTION: Using the wrong size socket may dam-

age the nut or bolt and cause the fastening torque to

be inaccurate or inconsistent.

 Remove the battery pack from the tool.

 Push the socket onto the anvil until it clicks into place.

 To remove the socket, pull it away from the anvil.

OPERATING THE IMPACT WRENCH

See Figure 5, page i.

Proper fastening torque may be determined by the kind

of bolt, the size of the bolt, the material, or the workpiece.

It is helpful to perform a test operation to determine the

proper fastening time for the nut or bolt you are using.

While performing the test, make note of the speed

selection.

 Slide the socket over the nut or bolt.

 Depress the switch and fasten for the proper fastening

time.

 Remove the impact wrench from the nut or bolt.

 Check the torque with a torque wrench.

CAUTION: Do not use this tool to install lug nuts

on wheels without a torque limiting device. Doing so

could result in galled or broken lugs.

IMPACT TIME

Many variables exist that will cause the available torque of

the fastener to vary considerably.

NOTE: Using a universal joint or extension bar may re-

duce the fastening force of the impact wrench and require

longer fastening time.

CAUTION: After the head of a nut or bolt has

seated, additional impacting will increase the chance

of shearing bolts, nuts, sockets or tearing into wood.

WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids,

gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating

oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts.

Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic

which may result in serious personal injury.

Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be

repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts

should be replaced at a Sears Service Center.

BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND PREPARATION

FOR RECYCLING

WARNING: Upon removal, cover the battery pack’s

terminals with heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not

attempt to destroy or disassemble battery pack or

remove any of its components. Lithium-ion and nick-

el-cadmium batteries must be recycled or disposed

of properly. Also, never touch both terminals with

metal objects and/or body parts as short circuit may

result. Keep away from children. Failure to comply

with these warnings could result in fire and/or seri-

ous injury.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: When servicing, use only identical

Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other part

could create a hazard or cause product damage.

WARNING: Always wear eye protection with side

shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to

do so could result in objects being thrown into your

eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury,

always remove the battery pack from the tool when

cleaning, performing any maintenance, or when

storing the tool.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most

plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of

commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.

Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
