OPERATION
INSTALLING AND REMOVING SOCKETS
See Figure 5, page 8.
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 damage the
nut or bolt and cause the fastening torque to be
inaccurate or inconsistent.
Remove the battery pack.
Push the socket onto the anvil until the detent pin locks
it into place.
To remove the socket, pull it away from the anvil.
OPERATING THE IMPACT WRENCH
See Figures 6 - 7, page 8.
CAUTION:
The metal surface may become hot during use.
Avoid contact with it to avoid possible burn injury.
Proper fastening torque may be determined by the kind of
bolt, the size of the bolt or 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.
NOTE: Maintenance information begins on page 7 after French and
Spanish language sections. Figures (Illustrations) start on page 8.

Hold the tool pointed straight at the nut or bolt.
Depress the switch and fasten for the proper fastening
Remove the impact wrench from the nut or bolt.
Check the torque with a torque wrench.
IMPACT TIME
Many variables exist that will cause the available torque of
the fastener to vary considerably. The optimum impact time
is approximately 6 seconds.
NOTE: Using a universal joint or extension bar may reduce
the fastening force of the impact wrench and require longer
fastening time.
ELECTRIC BRAKE
The electric brake will stop the socket rotation after the
operator releases the switch trigger.

time.
NOTICE:
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.
NOTICE:
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.
