7. Tightening torque adjustment
(1) Tightening torque
Tightening torque should correspond in its intensity
to the screw diameter. When too strong power is
used, the screw head may be broken or be injured.
Be sure to adjust the clutch dial position according
to the screw diameter.
(2) Tightening torque indication (See Fig. 9)
The tightening torque differs depending on the type
of screw and the material being tightened.
The unit indicates the tightening torque with the
numbers "1, 3, 5 ... 21" on the clutch dial, and a dot.
The tightening torque at position "1" is the weakest
and the torque is strongest at the highest number.
