INSTRUCTIONS 

Always wear safety goggles and gloves. 
1.  In other applications, be ready for parts shifting when the fastener is removed. 
2.  Install the correct impact socket on the tool. Only use impact rated sockets. 
3.  Select the correct rotation direction using the button above the trigger switch. 
4.  Slide the fully charged battery pack onto the base of the handle. The tool will 

operate at peak power with a fully charged battery pack. 

5.  Place the socket onto the fastener to be removed/tightened. 
6.  Hold the Impact Driver with both hands and squeeze the trigger to start the tool. 

The tool is variable speed so the harder you squeeze the higher the speed. 

7.  When removing nuts, always squeeze the trigger fully so the tool operates at its 

maximum speed to generate maximum torque. 

8.  If a fastener to be removed is “frozen” and will not loosen after 15 seconds of 

operation, reverse the Impact Driver rotation and tighten the fastener for 5 seconds to 

break it loose then change the rotation direction again to remove the fastener. 

9.  When tightening fasteners, DO NOT let the tool “rattle” for more than 2-3 seconds. 

This may overtighten the fastener.

10. Always check tightened fasteners with a torque wrench recommended by 

the manufacturer to ensure the correct torque has been applied.
