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 rota-

medium force grade.
For approximately one minute after releasing the switch trigger, the impact force can be changed.
