REMOVING FASTENERS
– cont’d
3.
Insert the battery in the tool (Fig. 4).
4.
Grasp the impact wrench handle (1) with
one hand and the front housing of the
impact wrench (2) with the other hand
(Fig. 8).
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 firm grasp, squeeze the trigger
switch (4).
When removing fasteners, do not allow the
impact wrench to operate 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.
