ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING
WARNING: For safety reasons, the operator must read the sections of this Owner's
Manual entitled "General safety warnings", "Power tool safety", "Specific safety rules",
"Extension cord safety" and "Symbols" before using this impact wrench.
Verify the following every time the impact wrench is used:
1. Safety glasses and hearing protection are being worn.
2. Socket or accessory is "impact wrench" rated.
3. Socket or accessory is in good condition.
Failure to observe these safety rules will significantly increase the risk of injury.
REMOVING WHEEL NUTS
One of the most common uses for the impact wrench is
to remove car wheel nuts for rotating the tires. Car wheel
nut removal is used for illustrative purposes.
DANGER: Before attempting to remove a car
wheel, make sure all jacking, wheel blocking and
wheel removal safety procedures illustrated in the
Owner’s Manual for your car are followed exactly.
Failure to follow those safety instructions could
result in serious injury or death.
1. Install the correct size of impact socket on the
impact wrench as outlined in Fig. 1.
2. Plug the impact wrench power cord into an
appropriate power source.
3. Grasp the impact wrench handle (1) with one hand
and the front housing of the impact wrench (2) with
the other hand (Fig. 3).
4. Place the impact socket (3) onto the wheel nut.
NOTES
:
a) Make sure the socket is fully engaged with the
nut to avoid potentially damaging the socket or the
wheel nut.
b) Maximum torque will be applied to the socket
when the impact wrench is used in the
“reverse” direction.
5. While holding the tool level with the ground and
with a firm grasp, squeeze the upper portion of the
trigger switch (4).
NOTE
: Once the nut has been removed, release the
trigger. The tool will turn OFF.
