the collar to the drilling position symbol
For screwdriving, set the collar to the
desired setting. If you de net yet know the
appropriate setting, proceed as follows:
Set the collar to the lowest torque setting.
Tighten the first screw.
If the clutch ratchets before the desired
result is achieved, increase the collar setting and continue tightening the screw.
Repeat until you reach the correct setting. Use this setting for the remaining screws.
