Lara automatically shoots a rope arrow into the socket and anchors it to the rope coil wrapped around the winch.

Use your axe as a handle to crank the winch, raising the socket out of the pool. When you've cranked as far as you can, the socket will remain elevated...

This triggers a cutscene in which Lara repels a Trinity soldier and steals his ASSAULT RIFLE.

When you regain control, immediately shoot the man lunging toward you.
