REMOVING FASTENERS
– cont’d
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. 2).
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 (see Fig. 4).
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.
