Torque control (fig.C)
This tool is fitted with a torque adjustment collar (3) to select
the operating mode and to set the torque for tightening
screws. Large screws and hard workpiece materials require
a higher torque setting than small screws and soft workpiece
materials.
For drilling in wood, metal and plastics, set the collar to
u
the drilling position symbol
For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired setting. If you
u
do not yet know the appropriate setting, proceed as
follows:
Set the collar to the lowest torque setting.
u
Tighten the first screw.
u
If the clutch ratchets before the desired result is achieved,
u
increase the collar setting and continue tightening the
screw. Repeat until you reach the correct setting. Use this
setting for the remaining screws.
Keyless chuck (fig. D)
To insert a drill bit or other accessory:
Grasp the rear half of the chuck (4a) with one hand and
u

counterclockwise direction, as viewed from the chuck end.
Insert the bit or other accessory fully into the chuck, and
u
tighten securely by holding the rear half of the chuck and
rotating the front portion in the clockwise direction as
viewed from the chuck end.
Warning! Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other ac-
cessory) by gripping the front part of the chuck and turning the
tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury may occur
