black in color, specially hardened, and designed to not strip the corners off the
nuts and bolts you will be driving. Sockets not designed for impact wrenches
could break and result in personal injury. Inspect sockets prior to use to ensure
that they have no cracks or other visible damage.
iNSTALLiNG FASTENERS
To fasten:
1. Start 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 Impact Wrench, slide
the impact socket onto the nut or bolt head.
3. Hold the tool securely with both hands and squeeze the trigger switch. The
impact socket will turn the fastener and the impact action will begin when
the fastener encounters resistance.
To loosen:
1. With proper impact socket securely mounted to the Impact Wrench, slide
the impact socket onto the bolt head (be sure the rotational direction is
"reverse").
2. Hold the tool securely with both hands and squeeze 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
the other threaded part, as it may be thrown out of the socket.
WARNING: Do not over tighten, as the force of the Impact Wrench can
break the fastener. Keep the Impact Wrench at a right angle to the fastener to
avoid damaging the fastener head.
