You can change the impact force in four steps: hard, medium, soft, and T mode.
This allows a tightening suitable to the work.
Every time the button
"T" is a special mode for fastening self drilling screws. In this mode, the tool starts to drive a screw with faster rotation, which
is suited for drilling with the self-drilling-screw tip. Once the tool starts to tighten the screw, it impacts in medium force grade.
For approximately one minute after releasing the switch trigger, the impact force can be changed.
