Safety Information

Always prioritize safety when operating power tools. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety goggles, hearing protection, and dust masks when necessary. Be aware that power tools can create sparks and dust containing harmful chemicals. Keep your work area clean, well-lit, and free of bystanders. Never operate the tool if you are tired or under the influence of substances. Always ensure the tool is in the locked or off position before inserting or removing the battery pack.

Operation

To install the battery, align it with the tool housing and push until it clicks into place. To remove, depress the tabs on both sides and pull downward. The tool is designed for removing and installing threaded fasteners. Use the simplest tool-to-socket connection possible to maximize power. Always ensure the tool is turned off and the battery is removed before performing any adjustments or maintenance.

Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance is essential for tool longevity. Inject 2 cc of high-quality moly grease into the grease port every 10 hours of actual runtime. Remove the 2mm hex screw to access the port. Keep the battery cool, dry, and away from direct sunlight. For storage, maintain a charge level of approximately 50%. Only use authorized Matco chargers and accessories to prevent damage and voiding the warranty.

Troubleshooting and Disposal

If the tool fails to operate, check the battery connection and charge status. Do not attempt to disassemble the tool or charger; all repairs must be performed by an authorized Matco service center. Dispose of batteries and tools according to local environmental regulations. Never incinerate batteries, as they may explode.
