Adjustable torque
This drill is equipped with 16 torque settings plus one drill setting which are controlled by the torque collar (2). By rotating the collar behind the chuck, it is possible to adjust the torque.
This will allow better control when using the drill as a screwdriver as it prevents over- tightening of the screws.
For drilling, always use the use the Drill position by aligning the Drill symbol with the triangular indicator on the front face of the drill near the torque collar.
For setting the torque position,
select a low setting on the torque collar and align the selected number with the triangular indicator on the side face of the drill, next to the torque collar. Increase gradually to set the correct torque. It is better to use a scrap piece of material if possible to set the torque.
