REMOVING NUTS
1. Press the forward/reverse button to the RIGHT for removing nuts (Fig. 5).
2. Place the socket fully onto the nut.
3. Hold the nut driver socket and impact driver firmly against the nut with both hands.
With the nut driver aligned with the nut, squeeze the trigger switch to start the impact
driver and remove the nut.
NOTE:
When removing fasteners, do not allow the impact driver to operate more than 5
seconds unless the fastener begins to turn. If the fastener fails to turn within 5 seconds,
reverse the direction of rotation and operate the impact driver 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 driver for more than 5 seconds at a time on a
seized or "frozen" fastener will place severe stress on the impact driver and cause
damage. It may also break the fastener.
