CAUTION:
Always withdraw the tool from the workpiece before resuming operation. If the tool can-
not be withdrawn, hold the tool firmly when turning on the tool,
to
overcome a strong
reaction.
Adjusting the 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 .\-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
Pointer Drill marking
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.
\\\
NOTE:
*Make sure that the driver bit
is
inserted straight in the screw head, or the screw and/or
bit may be damaged
*When driving wood screws, predrill pilot
holes to make driving easier and to pre-
vent splitting of the workpiece. See the
chart.
