Ryobi R10520 manual Screwdriving Torque Adjustment, To Adjust Torque, BIT Storage, Screwdriver BIT

OPERATION

WARNING:

Be prepared for binding or breakthrough. When these situations occur, the drill has a tendency to grab and kick in the opposite direction, and could cause loss of control when breaking through material. If you are not prepared, this loss of control can result in possible serious injury.

When drilling metals, use a light oil on the drill bit to keep it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the bit and increase the drilling action.

If the bit jams in workpiece or if the drill stalls, release switch trigger immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece and determine the reason for jamming.

SCREWDRIVING

TORQUE ADJUSTMENT

(Driving power of your drill-driver)

When using your 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 should correspond to the intensity of the screw diameter. If the torque is too high or the screws too small, the screws may be damaged or broken.

The torque is adjusted by rotating the torque adjustment ring. See Figure 11. 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.

TO ADJUST TORQUE

■Identify the twenty four torque indicator settings located on the front of your drill. See Figure 11.

■Rotate adjustment ring to the desired setting.

•1 For driving small screws.

•1 - 3 For driving screws into soft material.

•3 - 5 For driving screws into soft and hard materials.

•5 - 6 For driving screws in hard wood.

•6 - 7 For driving large screws.

•Drill For heavy drilling.
