Function Selector and Torque-Adjustment Ring (Fig. 7)
Your tool is equipped with a function selector for various applications. Move the selector
depending on the requirements of your task..
Your tool also features 17 clutch settings for the screw-driving position. Output torque will
increase as the clutch ring is rotated from 1 to 17. When driving a screw, first try torque
position 1 and increase until the desired torque is reached.
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 screws. 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.
The Drill setting will lock the clutch to permit (non-hammer) drilling or driving for heavy-duty
work
The Hammer Drilling setting will lock the clutch to permit hammer drilling only
NOTICE:
Do not use the hammer drilling setting for drilling in wood, metal, ceramic, and
plastic to prevent the drill/screw bit from being damaged.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the torque or switch functions when the tool is
running .
