trigger switch and depress the forward/
reverse control button to the left.
• To select reverse, depress the forward/
reverse control button the opposite
direction.

button, be sure the trigger is released.
TORqUE CONTROL (FIGURE E)
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 the drilling position symbol
• For screwdriving, set the collar to the
desired setting. If you do not 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.
