WEN 5182 18 Volt Cordless Drill/Drive Kit - Manual (Page 12)

ADJUSTABLE TORQUE CLUTCH
The torque clutch can be adjusted to 19+1 different settings. The higher the torque setting, the
more force the drill produces.
When using the drill for different driving applications, it is necessary to increase or decrease the
torque in order to help prevent the possibility of damaging screw heads, threads, workpiece, etc.
Adjust the torque by rotating the torque-adjustment ring.
The proper setting depends on the job and the type of bit, fastener, and material you will be using.
In general, use greater torque for larger screwed, but if the torque is too high, the screws may be
damaged or broken.
For delicate operations, such as removing a partially stripped screw, use a low torque setting. For
operations such as drilling into hardwood, use a higher torque setting.
CAUTION: do not change the torque setting when the tool is running.
DRILL MODE
Select drill mode for drilling and other heavy duty applications.
To select drill mode, rotate the torque adjustment ring until the icon aligns with the torque
indicator and clicks into position.
LED WORKLIGHT
The LED worklight, located on the front of the Drill/Driver, will illuminate when the trigger
switch is depressed. This provides additional light on the surface of the workpiece for operation
in lower-light areas. The LED worklight will turn off when the trigger switch is released.
