OPERATION

SCREWDRIVING

TORQUE ADJUSTMENT

(Driving power of your drill-driver)

When using your drill-driver for various driving applications, 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 10. The torque is greater when the torque adjustment 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 10.

■Rotate adjustment ring to the desired setting.

•1 - 4 For driving small screws.

•5 - 8 For driving screws into soft material.

•9 - 12 For driving screws into soft and hard materials.

•13 - 16 For driving screws in hard wood.

•17 - 20 For driving large screws.

•21 - For heavy drilling.

BIT STORAGE
