WARNING
!
Removing fasteners
One of the most common uses for the impact
wrench is to remove car wheel nuts for rotating
the tires. Car wheel nut removal is used for
illustrative purposes.
DANGER: Before attempting
to remove a car wheel, make sure all jacking,
wheel blocking and wheel removal safety
procedures illustrated in the Owner’s Manual
for your car are followed exactly. Failure to
follow those safety instructions could result in
serious injury or death.
!
1. Install the correct size of impact socket on
the impact wrench as outlined in Fig. 1.
2. Set the forward/reverse button to the RIGHT
for removing fasteners (Fig. 4).
3. Plug the impact wrench power cord into an
appropriate power source.
4. Grasp the impact wrench handle (1) with
one hand and the front housing of the
impact wrench (2) with the other hand
(Fig. 6).
5. Place impact socket (3) onto the wheel nut.
NOTE: Make sure the socket is fully
engaged with the nut to avoid potentially
damaging the socket or the wheel nut.
6. While holding the tool level with the ground
and with a rm grasp, squeeze the trigger
switch (4).
When removing fasteners, do not operate the
impact wrench for more than 15 seconds unless
the fastener begins to turn. If the fastener fails
to turn within 15 seconds, reverse the direction
of rotation and operate the impact wrench in
a forward direction on the fastener for a few
seconds. Now switch back to reverse direction
and remove the fastener. This procedure will
usually break loose seized or “frozen” fasteners.
WARNING: Operating the
impact wrench for more that 15 seconds at a time
on a seized or “frozen” fastener will place severe
stress on the impact wrench and cause damage. It
may also break the fastener.
