Screwdriving
Your tool has a clutch with adjustable torque for
driving and removing a wide array of fastener shapes
and sizes. The numbers on the mode selection collar
are used to set a torque range for screwdriving. The
higher the number on the collar, the higher the torque
and the larger the fastener which can be driven.
1. Turn the mode selection collar
position.
Refer to Mode Selection.
2. Pull the trigger switch applying pressure in a straight
line with the bit until the fastener is seated at the
desired depth in the workpiece.
Recommendations for screwdriving
• Start with lower torque settings, then advance to
higher torque settings to avoid damage to the
workpiece or fastener.
• Make some practice runs in scrap or on unseen
areas of the workpiece to determine the proper
position of the mode selection collar.
. Refer to Speed Selection.
