Well the trouble is, there isn't a FM.
The instruction sheet is full of useful stuff like long hair must be tied back (no longer a problem in my case ) but nothing on the wrench itself apart from how it's important to lubricate it.

Aside from the actual wrench, there is a transparent cylinder which can be screwed into where I think the air line should go. Am I supposed to fill it with oil and blow said oil into the gun? Or what does it do?

The cylinder is an inline oiler. You should fill it with light machine oil and put it inline between the compressor and the tool.
I'd recommend you pick up a WHIP & fix that to the handle of the gun.
Makes it easer to handle. I've put a quick release fitting on mine to swap it between tools.

Anyway thanks for that. Does the oiler stay inline all the time, or do you just use it to load the gun with oil at the start and then take it off ?

leave it in all the time. you cant really over oil them better too much oil than too little.

Ps got the hang of the picks bit.

regards agriv8

And do I also have to stick oil in the hole on the side ?

or maybe that's just a reminder.

On the bottom of the handle there is a 4 position knob labelled 1 to 4. Presumably that's adjustment of force. Sorry to go on about this but if they don't include some kind of instructions ....



Thanks for help so far anyway

might be worth it as its new ( but they are usually oiled when they are built) the oil is there to stop the moisture in the compressed air rusting up the vaines in the air pump

but if you are always using it with the inline oiler you should not need to fill the oil grub screw.

Thanks again

oh didd#nt see the adjustment question yes that is how much 'impact ' the gun gives. leave it on 4 for most big stuff ( 13mm sockets and above ) smaller sockets you might want to adjust it down.

oh word of caution ALWAYS ( yes i meant to shout ) start nut and bolts off by hand. the gun wont mind if bolts are cross treaded !!!!!! you have been warned. hear speaks the voice of experience !!!!

oh safty bit alloy wheels don't go mad and back off and tighten with a correctly set tourque wrench.

Points noted ty.

It's really intended for stripping the donor Sierra, but useful to know anyway

You can over oil these! if toomuch oil gets in the vanes can stick to the drum I managed this on mine with proper air tool oil The result is no rotary motion and a strip down to wipe the vanes and block clean. Mine was all tufnol inside i think more expensive ones have metal drum and tufnol vanes so might not stick so quickly! Oiling is now little and often!

3 drops of 3 in 1 was all the one at work got when anybody thought about it and it was still going strong after 18 years and it wasn't a particularly expensive brand.

I bought one of these new of ebay a couple of years ago and quite honestly it is crap! I've spoken to others with them and they say the same too. Can't undo tightened nuts, and can't tighten them either!
If you do put nuts on with this tool, just don't trust them to be tight, always check manually.
Quality impact wrenches cost several hundreds of pounds and there is a very good reason for that!

I just upped the pressure on my cheapy one till it did the job, 150psi seems to do everything

Mine was crap too. . . until I bought some decent hose! if you are trying to use the nasty recoil stuff it really saps pressure, go buy some decent rubber stuff and let your system get up to pressure before you use the gun and stop when the compressor kicks back in.

Caber

i just dribble oil in by hand before each use, since it gets stored open in a wet garage. Ditto its (clark one) no good on an 8mm hose, cant undo wheel nuts etc. I have two compressors and two hoses, combined with a tee, for hard use. Makes the die grinder a lot better too.
