3. Tightening and loosening bolts
A hex socket matching the bolt or nut must firest be selected. Then mount the
socket on the anvil, and grip the nut to be tightened with the hex socket. Holding
the wrench in line with the bolt, press the power switch to impact the nut for
several second.
If the nut is only loosely fitted to the bolt, the bolt may turn with the nut, therefore
preventing proper tightening. In this case, stop impact on the nut and hold the
bolt head with a wrench before restarting impact, or manually tighten the bolt
and nut to prevent them slipping.
