ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTABLE TORQUE CLUTCH
See Figure 6.
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 ad-
justment 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 the drill.
■ Rotate 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 - 24 ( ) .... For heavy drilling.
