OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TIGHTENING SCREWS OR NUTS
(fig 9/fig 10)
1. Install the correct bit/socket.
2. Apply just enough pressure to keep the bit/
socket engaged on the screw or nut.
3. Position the direction-of-rotation selector to the
left of the tool for forward rotation.
4. Apply minimal pressure to the variable-speed
trigger switch initially. Increase the speed only
when full control can be maintained.
LOOSENING SCREWS AND NUTS
(fig 9/fig 10)
1. Install the correct bit/socket.
2. Apply just enough pressure to keep the bit/socket
engaged on the screw or nut.
3. Position the direction-of-rotation selector to the
right of the tool for reverse rotation.
4. Apply minimal pressure to the variable-speed
trigger switch initially. Increase the speed only
when full control can be maintained.
TIGHTENING TORQUE
The fastening torque is affected by a wide variety of factors including the those listed below. After
fastening, always check the torque with a torque wrench.
Voltage: Low voltage, due to a nearly discharged battery, will reduce fastening torque.
Socket size: Failure to use the correct socket size will cause a reduction in fastening torque.
Bolt size: Larger bolt diameters generally require higher fastening torque. Fastening torque will also
vary according to length, grade, and torque coefficient.
Bolt: Ensure that all threads are free of rust and other debris to allow proper fastening torque.
Material: The type of material and surface finish of the material will affect fastening torque.

NOTICE: Before starting your job, always perform a test operation to determine the proper fastening time.
WARNING!
• Do not over-tighten, because the force of the impact driver can break the fastener. Keep the impact driver
pointed straight at the fastener to avoid damaging the fastener head.
