TIGHTENING A NUT
1 Start the nut by hand, ensuring it is not cross threaded, then with the appropriate socket installed
on the wrench, place it on the nut.
2. With the FORWARD/NEUTRAL/REVERSE switch-bar in the clockwise (FORWARD) running
position, and holding the wrench firmly in BOTH HANDS, pull the trigger.
3. Run each nut up in turn until it is ‘nipped’ up only - do not tighten. When all nuts are nipped up,
tighten progressively by pulling the trigger fully and allowing the action to operate for 3 to 4 impacts
only to prevent overtightening.
4. ALWAYS finish tightening with a torque wrench. The weight of the vehicle will need to be placed
on the wheel to prevent it from rotating while the nuts are tightened. Ensure the final torque applied
to the nuts meets the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations.
VARIABLE SPEED
You can vary the spindle rotation speed by modulating finger pressure on the trigger.
