INSTALLING IMPACT SOCKETS
WARNING:
Use only impact sockets
and accessories that are designed for use
with an impact wrench.
Do not use chrome
plated sockets and accessories. Chrome plated
sockets and accessories are designed for hand
use only and MUST NOT be used with an
impact wrench. They may shatter and possibly
cause serious injury.
WARNING:
Always remove the plug from
the power source before changing any sockets
or accessories. You may injure your hand if the
tool is started accidentally.
To install a socket, press the square portion of
the socket (1) onto the square drive (2) of the
impact wrench (Fig. 1).
NOTE:
Slide the socket fully onto the square
drive so the socket is held firmly in place.
