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.
NOTE: See the following chart for the relation between the number of torque setting and fastening torque rate.
The fastening torque rate will be different depends on materials. Make a test fastening to get the desired torque
before operation.
