The clutch will slip at various torque levels when set at the number 1 to 21. The clutch does not work at
the marking.
Before actual operation, drive a trial screw into your material or a piece of duplicate material to determine which
torque level is required for a particular application.
The following shows the rough guide of the relationship between the screw size and graduation.
