General Guidelines
Use sockets designed for impact wrench use.
Do not use sockets with drives smaller than
1
/
2

use impact sockets with drives greater than
1
/
2
”.
Only use socket extensions designed for
impact use.
Pressing the top of the ROCKER SWITCH
(6) up will cause the ANVIL (16) to move in
a counterclockwise direction. This will com-
monly loosen the fastener.
Pressing the bottom of the ROCKER SWITCH down will cause the ANVIL to move in a
clockwise direction. This will commonly tighten the fastener.
“Breaking Loose” Fasteners
Note: This procedure is used when a fastener becomes “frozen”, typically due to corrosion.
This procedure assumes that the threads are standard (clockwise to tighten, counter
clockwise to loosen). If the threads are reversed, you must reverse the switch directions
contained herein.
Spray silicon or another appropriate lubricant on the fastener and allow it to sit for 15-30
minutes.
Rapidly press the ROCKER SWITCH (6) up and then down. This will cause the ANVIL
(16) change direction rapidly and loosen the bolt.
