TIGHTEN AND LOOSEN NUTS AND BOLTS
To tighten nuts and bolts
Use the hex socket that matches the nut or bolt.
Select a proper working mode or "A" mode
depending on the type or size of the bolt and
nut. Before starting your job, always perform a
test operation to determine the proper fastening
time for your bolt or nut.
a. Set the direction-of-rotation selector to forward
setting.
b. Hold the tool firmly and place the socket over
the bolt or nut. Ensure that full length of the
bolt head or nut is fully engaged into socket.
c. Depress the variable-speed trigger switch
to turn the impact wrench on. Start slowly,
increasing the speed as the nut or bolt runs
downs. Set the nut or bolt snugly by slowing
the tool to a stop.
WARNING
a tendency to torque or twist in your hands.
d. Fasten the bolt or nut to the proper torque.
e. After fastening, always check the torque with
a torque wrench. If the fasteners are too tight,
reduce the impacting time. If they are not tight
enough, increase the impacting time.
NOTICE:
Hold the tool straight along the axis
of the bolt or nut.
NOTICE:
Excessive fastening torque may
damage the bolt/nut or socket.

To loosen nuts and bolts
Use either mode 1, 2, 3 or "A" mode to loosen
nuts and bolts depending on the application.
When working overhead or working on car
tires, to prevent the loosened fasteners from
falling to the ground or into a tight space, it is
recommended to use the "A" mode to do this
job.
a. Set the direction-of-rotation to reverse setting.
b. Hold the tool firmly and place the socket over
the bolt or nut. Ensure that full length of the
bolt head or nut is fully engaged into socket.
c. Depress the variable-speed trigger switch to
turn the impact wrench on. Once the fastener
is loose, the tool will stop running. This tool
also allows you to continue to depress the
trigger switch for removing the nut from the
long bolt, if necessary.
