How to use

Select the correct 1/2" impact socket and attach it securely to the square drive. Insert a charged 18 V battery and set the speed according to the task; start at a lower speed for initial tightening or delicate components, then increase as needed for high-torque applications. Position the tool square to the fastener and apply steady pressure while operating to maintain socket engagement. After use, remove the battery and store both tool and accessories in a dry place. Observe manufacturer guidance for battery charging and care.

Recommendations

Use impact-rated sockets and fastener-specific accessories to avoid damage. For wheel work or large fasteners, verify torque settings with a calibrated torque wrench when exact tightening values are required. Wear appropriate eye and hand protection and follow general safety practices for battery-powered impact tools.
