Makita 6222DE instruction manual Adjusting the fastening torque, Screwdriving operation

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 If the tool can- not be withdrawn, hold the tool firmly when turning on the tool, to overcome a strong reaction.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	Pointer Drill marking
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 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.
