enables you to give an extra twist to firmly tighten
screws or to loosen extra tight screws.
Note: Some of the larger sizes are difficult to seat fully
in hardwoods due to variables such as grain
irregularity, the moisture content of wood and the
amount of charge of your screwdriver. The automatic

with your screwdriver reaches the preselected setting,
the clutch slips, thereby limiting the tightness of the screw.
Note: The motor of your screwdriver continues to turn
as long as the switch is depressed even though the
spindle stops rotating as the clutch slips. If the clutch
setting is too high for the application, the clutch will not
slip; reduce the clutch setting or you will overtighten
the screw.
To select the required clutch setting, rotate the
adjusting collar clockwise to increase, or
anticlockwise to decrease the clutch setting.
There are 23 possible settings, 6 of which are marked
on the collar. As the adjusting collar is rotated, a click
is heard as the collar locks into the various settings.
As a general rule, the longer the screw, the higher the
clutch setting needed to drive it; the smaller the screw,
the lower the clutch setting required. It is best to start
to screw at a low setting and adjust to higher settings
until the screw is properly seated.

screw to follow and prevents distortion or splitting of
the wood. You should drill pilot holes to a depth equal
to or greater than the length of the screw you will use.
When working in hardwood, in addition to a pilot hole it
is also necessary to drill a clearance hole. The sizes of
holes necessary are as follows:
