SCREWDRIVER BITS

When using your drill-driver for various driving aplications, it becomes necessary to increase or decrease the torque in order to help prevent the possibility of damaging screw heads, threads, workpiece, etc. In general, torque should correspond to the intensity of the screw diameter. If the torque is too high or the screws too small, the screws may be damaged or broken.

The torque is adjusted by rotating the torque adjustment ring. See Figure 7. The torque is greater when the torque adjust- ment ring is set on a higher setting. The torque is less when the torque adjustment ring is set on a lower setting.

The proper setting depends on the type of material and the size of screw you are using.

TO ADJUST TORQUE

Identify the twenty four torque indicator settings located

on the front of your drill. See Figure 7.

Rotate adjustment ring to the desired setting.
