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 intensity should
correspond to 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 9. 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 9.
■ 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.
