ADJUSTABLE TORQUE CLUTCH
See Figure 5.
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.
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.
■ 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 - 24 ( ) .... For heavy drilling.
