ADJUSTABLE-TORQUE
CLUTCH (Fig. 7)
The higher the torque setting,
the more force the drill/driver
produces to turn an object in
either LO or HI rotation speed.
When using the drill/driver for
different driving applications,
increase or decrease the torque
in order to do the job and help
prevent damage to screw heads,
threads, workpiece, etc.
Adjust the torque by rotating the torque-adjustment ring. 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.
NOTICE: When adjusting the torque clutch, make sure that the speed switch is
either completely in the LO or HI position.
NOTICE: Do not change the torque setting when the tool is running.
DRILL MODE (Fig. 8)
Select the drill mode
for drilling and other
heavy-duty applications.
To select drill mode, rotate the
torque-adjustment ring until the
drill icon aligns with the torque
indicator and the ring clicks
into position.
