How to Adjust an Impact Gun
An impact gun is an air tool that removes bolts and nuts quickly with the pressure of air from a compressor. Impact guns are very useful for working on vehicles to remove stubborn nuts and bolts. One of the most common uses of an impact gun is for removing and replacing lug nuts on wheels. An impact gun greatly reduces the amount of time on a project as opposed to using hand tools.
Instructions
- 1
Turn the air compressor on and let it achieve operating pressure. The air compressor will cycle off when it is ready for use.
2Hold the impact gun with the bottom quick connector facing up. Squirt two or three drops of pneumatic tool oil in the connector.
3Grasp the quick coupler on the impact gun at the rear. Pull the ring back and insert the air compressor hose onto the tool. Attach the other end of the hose to the air compressor in the same manner.
4Insert a socket into the impact gun by pressing it on the tip.
5Turn the airflow regulator on the impact gun to a higher number and setting for more power. If the socket is on a bolt and the bolt will not turn, adjust the tool for more torque to a higher number. Turn the airflow regulator to a lower number and setting for less torque.
