REMOVING FASTENERS – cont’d
When removing fasteners, do not allow the
impact wrench to operate more than 15 seconds
unless the fastener begins to turn. If the fastener
fails to turn within 15 seconds, reverse the
direction of rotation and operate the impact
wrench in a forward direction on the fastener for
a few seconds. Now switch back to reverse
direction and remove the fastener. This
procedure will usually break loose seized or
"frozen" fasteners.
WARNING: Operating the impact wrench for
more that 15 seconds at a time on a seized or
"frozen" fastener may break the fastener. It will
also place severe stress on the impact wrench
and possibly damage the tool.
