The higher the torque setting,
the more force the drill produc-
es to turn an object in either LO
or HI rotation speed.
When using the Drill for different
driving applications, increase or
decrease the torque in order to
help prevent damaging screw
heads, threads, workpiece, etc.
Adjust the torque by rotating
the torque-adjustment ring.
ring
To decrease torque
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.
For operations such as drilling
into hardwood, use a higher
torque setting.
