ADJUSTING THE TORQUE

See Figure 5.

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.

1 - 4 For driving small screws.

5 - 8 For driving screws into soft material.

9 - 12 For driving screws into soft and hard materials.

13 - 16 For driving screws in hard wood.

17 - 20 For driving large screws.

21 - For heavy drilling.

For hammer drilling.

CHANGING THE BIT ROTATION

See Figure 6.

The direction of the chuck is controlled by the rotation selector located above the trigger switch.

Follow these steps to change the bit rotation.

For forward rotation: Move the rotation selector to the left.

For reverse rotation: Move the rotation selector to the right.

Note: The hammer drill will not run unless the selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
