4. Arahan Operasi

Follow these guidelines for safe and effective use of your DURATECH Impact Socket Set.

4.1 Selecting the Correct Socket

1. Identify the correct size and type of socket (standard or deep) that precisely fits the fastener. A snug fit prevents rounding of the fastener head.
2. For recessed fasteners or those with long threads, select a deep impact socket.
3. Use extension bars for increased reach in confined spaces.

4.2 Attaching to an Impact Wrench

• Align the square drive of the socket (or extension/adapter) with the anvil of your 1/2-inch impact wrench.
• Push the socket firmly onto the anvil until it locks into place. Ensure it is fully seated to prevent it from detaching during operation.

4.3 Fastening and Loosening

• Position the socket squarely onto the fastener head.
• Apply steady pressure and activate the impact wrench.
• For loosening, ensure the impact wrench is set to the counter-clockwise (reverse) direction.
• For tightening, ensure the impact wrench is set to the clockwise (forward) direction. Avoid overtightening, which can damage fasteners or components. Always refer to manufacturer torque specifications when available.
• After use, remove the socket from the impact wrench by pulling it off the anvil.
