INSTALLING AND REMOVING
THE SOCKET (FIG.8)
FIG. 8
Always use the correct size socket for bolts
and nuts. An incorrect socket will result
in inaccurate and inconsistent fastening
torque and/or damage to the bolt or nut.
1. Lock the trigger switch by placing the
direction-of-rotation selector in the OFF
(center) position.
2. To install the socket, push it onto the
output drive of the tool until it locks into
place.
3. To remove the socket, simply pull it off.
INSTALLING FASTENERS
NOTICE: Always keep the Impact Wrench
at a right angle to the fastener to avoid
damaging the fastener head.
To fasten:
1. Start threading the fastener by hand
onto or into its threaded counterpart
(e.g. nut onto bolt, or bolt into nut or
threaded hole).
2. With the proper impact socket securely
mounted to the wrench, slide the impact
socket onto the nut or bolt head.
OPERATION
3. Place the direction-of-rotation selector
in the FORWARD position. Hold the
tool firmly while depressing the trigger
switch. The impact socket will turn the
fastener and impacting will begin once
the fastener encounters resistance.
WARNING:
Do not over-tighten, as
the force of the Impact Wrench can break
the fastener.
To loosen:
1. With the proper impact socket securely
mounted to the wrench, slide the impact
socket onto the bolt head.
2. Place the direction-of-rotation selector
in the REVERSE position. Hold the tool
firmly while depressing the trigger
switch. The tool will start to impact
immediately.
3. Once the fastener has “broken loose,”
it will start to unthread. Be careful that
you do not allow a fastener to spin
freely once it is no longer engaged with
its threaded counterpart, as it may be
thrown out of the socket.
Impacting tips
The proper fastening torque may differ
depending on the type or size of the bolt, the
material of the workpiece to be fastened,
etc.
NOTICE: Hold the tool straight along the
axis of the bolt or nut.
NOTICE: Excessive fastening torque may
damage the bolt/nut or socket. Before
starting your job, always perform a
test operation to determine the proper
fastening time for your bolt or nut.
