RUNNING NUTS AND BOLTS
Variable speed control must be used with caution for driving nuts and bolts with socket set attach ments. The technique is to start slowly, increasing speed as the nut or bolt runs
down. Set the nut or bolt snugly by slowing the drill to a stop. If this procedure is not followed, the tool will have a tendency to torque or twist in your hands when the nut or bolt seats.
