When usingyour screwdriverfor various driving
applications,it becomes necessary to increase or
decrease the power and torque in order to help
prevent the possibilityof damaging screwheads,
threads, workpiece, etc. In general, power and torque
shouldcorrespond to the difficultyof the screw to be
ddven. If torque is too high the screws may be
damaged or broken.
Note: Your screwdriver has been shipped with the
adjustable torque clutch set at the lowest torque
setting.
TO ADJUST TORQUE
See Figure 7.
• Locate arrow on torque adjustmentcap.
• To increase torque, rotate torque adjustmentcap
in the directionof the arrow, When cap stops
rotating,you have reached the highest torque-
setting.To decrease torque, rotatetorque adjust-
ment cap in the oppositedirection of the arrow.
When cap stops rotating,you have reached the
lowest torque setting.
BATrERIES
Your scrowddver is equipped with 2 nickel-cadmium
rechargeable batteries. Length of servicefrom each
chargingwill depend on the type of work you are
doing.
The batteries in thistool have been designed to
provide maximum trouble free life, However, like all
batteries, they will eventually wear out. To remove
batteries, see page 11, Battery Removal. Handling of
these batteries, especially when wearing dngs and
jewelry, could result in a serious burn,
To obtain the longest possiblebattery life, we suggest
the following:
• Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.
Temperatures above normal room temperature
will shorten battery life.
• Never store batteries in a discharged condition.
Recharge them immediately after they are dis-
charged.
• All batteries gradually lose their charge. The
higher the temperature, the quicker they lose their
charge. If you store your toolfor long periods of
time without usingit, recharge the batteriesevery
month or two. This practice will prolong battery
life.
