Tighten and loosen nuts and
bolts (see figure K)
To tighten nuts and bolts
Use the hex socket that matches the nut
or bolt. Select a proper working mode
depending on the type or size of the bolt
and nut. Before starting your job, always
perform a test operation to determine the
proper fastening time for your bolt or nut.
It is advisable to perform a trial run on a
scrap material to determine the best mode
selection.
■ Set the direction preselector switch 5 to
forward setting.
■ Hold the tool firmly and place the socket
over the bolt or nut. Ensure that full length
of the bolt head or nut is fully engaged into
socket.
■ Depress the variable-speed trigger switch
2 to turn the impact wrench on. Start slowly,
increasing the speed as the nut or bolt runs
downs. Set the nut or bolt snugly by slowing
the tool to a stop. If this procedure is not
followed, the tool will have a tendency to
torque or twist in your hand when the nut or
bolt seats.
■ Fasten the bolt or nut to the proper torque.
■ After fastening, always check the torque
with a torque wrench. If the fasteners are
too tight, reduce the impacting time.
NOTICE:
■ Hold the tool straight along the axis of the
bolt or nut.
■ Excessive fastening torque may damage
the bolt/nut or socket.
To loosen nuts and bolts
Use either mode 1, 2, 3 or "A" mode to loosen
nuts and bolts depending on the application.
When working overhead or working on car
tires, to prevent the loosened fasteners from
falling to the ground or into a tight space, it is
recommended to use the "A" mode to do this
job.
■ Set the direction preselector switch 5 to
reverse setting.
■ Hold the tool firmly and place the socket
over the bolt or nut. Ensure that full length
of the bolt head or nut is fully engaged into
socket.

■ Depress the variable-speed trigger switch
2 to turn the impact wrench on. Once the
fastener is loose, the tool will stop running.
This tool also allows you to continue to
depress the trigger switch for removing the
nut from the long bolt, if necessary.
