Step 3: With the correct socket attached to the Impact Wrench, slide the socket over the nut or bolt.

Step 4: Grip the Impact Wrench with both hands, especially with higher power settings. Make sure you are in a stable position and spread your feet shoulder-width apart.

Step 5: Press the TRIGGER (#38) to loosen the bolt.

Step 6: If the bolt will not loosen, and you are on a low power setting for Loosening, try increasing the power setting and attempt again.

Step 7: If the bolt will not loosen with the Impact Wrench on a higher power setting, do not repeat attempts to loosen. You may snap the bolt or strip the threads of the stud or nut. Try another method to loosen the bolt or nut.
