Adjusting the Torque

ADJUSTMENTS

See Figure 4.

The hammer drill is equipped with an adjustable torque clutch for driving different types of screws into different materials. Adjust the torque as necessary. We recommend that you use carbide-tipped bits and select hammer mode when drilling in hard materials such as brick, tile, concrete, etc.

Follow these steps to adjust the torque.

■Identify the torque indicator settings located on the front of the hammer drill.

■Rotate the adjusting ring to the desired setting.
