ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING THE TORQUE
See Figure 4.
The hammer drill is equipped with an adjustable torque
clutch for driving different types of screws into different
materials. Adjust the torque as necessary. We recommend
that you use carbide-tipped bits and select hammer mode
when drilling in hard materials such as brick, tile, concrete,
etc.
Follow these steps to adjust the torque.
■ Identify the torque indicator settings located on the
front of the hammer drill.
■ Rotate the adjusting 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.
• For hammer drilling.
CAUTION:
The hammer drill is not designed for reverse hammer-
ing. Failure to obey this caution may result in property
damage.
