OPERATION
INSTALLING AND REMOVING
SOCKET (FIG. 5)
1. Lock the trigger switch by placing
the direction-of-rotation Selector in
the OFF (center) position.
2. To install a 1/2" socket, simply push
it completely onto the output drive.
To remove, pull it off the output drive.
FIG. 5
WARNING:
Only use sockets
designed for impact wrenches. Sockets
not designed for impact wrenches could
break and result in user injury. Inspect
sockets prior to use to ensure that they
have no cracks or other visible damage.
TIGHTENING AND
LOOSENING BOLTS
A hex socket matching the bolt or nut must
first be selected. Then mount the socket
on the output drive, and grip the nut to be
tightened with the hex socket. Hold the
wrench in line with the bolt; press the trigger
switch to impact the nut for several seconds.
If the nut is only loosely fitted to the bolt, the
bolt may turn with nut, therefore mistaking
proper tightening. In this case, stop impact
on the nut and hold the bolt head with a
wrench before restarting impact, or
manually tighten the bolt and nut to
prevent them slipping.
TIGHTENING TORQUE
The tightening torque depends on the
duration of the impacting/tightening action.
The greatest tightening torque is achieved
after approximately 3-5 seconds of
impacting /tightening action.
The torque build-up depends on the
following factors:
1. Hardness of the bolts/nuts.
2. Type of washer (disk washer, spring
washer, seal).
3. Hardness of the material to be joined.
4. Lubricating effect at the surface of the
junction.
For example:
A relatively short interval of impacting/
tightening action is required when joining
metal to metal with a disk washer.
A moderate interval of impacting/tightening
action is required when joining metal to
metal where a spring-ring washer,
disk-spring washer, stud bolt, or bolt/ nut
with conical seats are used.
A longer interval of impacting/ tightening
action is necessary to arrive at the
maximum tightening torque when joining
metal to wood or insulation material.
