This tool is fitted with a torque adjustment collar (3)

to select the operating mode and to set the torque for

 

 

 

 

 

 

tightening screws. Large screws and hard workpiece

 

 

 

 

 

 

materials require a higher torque setting than small

 

 

 

screws and soft workpiece materials.

 

 

 

• For drilling in wood, metal and plastics, set the

 

 

 

collar to the drilling position symbol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired

 

 

 

setting. If you do not yet know the appropriate

 

 

 

setting, proceed as follows:

 

 

 

• Set the collar to the lowest torque setting.

 

 

 

• Tighten the first screw.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• If the clutch ratchets before the desired result is achieved, increase the collar setting

and continue tightening the screw. Repeat until you reach the correct setting. Use this

setting for the remaining screws.
