Makita 6073D and 6073DW instruction manual Adjusting fastening torque

Adjusting fastening torque

The fastening torque can be adjusted in six stages by turning the adjusting ring so that the pointer on the adjusting ring points to a number on the tool body. The fastening torque is minimum when the pointer points to the number 1 and maximum when it points to the -8-marking. The clutch will slip at varying torque levels when the pointer is set at the numbers 1 to

5.\The- clutch is designed not to slip at the

marking...

Before actual operation, drive a trial screw into your material or a piece of duplicate material to determine which torque level is required for a particular application.

NOTE :

The adjusting ring cannot be locked with the pointer positioned half-way between the numbers.

Screwdriving operation

Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and apply pressure to the tool. Start the tool slowly and then increase the speed gradually. Release the trigger as soon as the clutch cuts in.
