SCREW'DRIVING

TORQUE ADJUSTMENT

(Driving power of your drill-driver)

When using your drill-driverfor varlous driving applica- tions, it becomes necessary to increase or decrease the torque in order to help prevent the possibilityof damaging screw heads, threads, workplace, etc. In general, torque shouldcorrespondto the intensityof the screw diameter. If the torque is too high or the screws too small,the screws may be damaged or broken.

The torque "isadjusted by rotatingthe torque adjustment ring. See Figure7. The torque is greater when the torque adjustment ring is set on a higher setting. The torque is less when the torque adjustmentdng Is set on a lower setting.

The propersettingdepends on the type of materialand the size of screw you are using.
