TORQUE ADJUSTMENT

See Figure 12.

When using the drill-driver for various driving applications, it becomes necessary to increase or decrease the torque in order to help prevent the possibility of damaging screw heads, threads, workpiece, etc. In general, torque intensity should correspond to the screw diameter. If the torque is too high or the screws too small, the screws may be dam- aged or broken.

MODE

The torque is adjusted by rotating the torque adjustment ring.

The torque is greater when the torque adjustment ring is set on a higher setting. The torque is less when the torque adjustment ring is set on a lower setting.

The proper setting depends on the type of material and the size of screw you are using.

NOTE: The torque adjustment ring only functions in drive mode.
