6. Rotation to Hammer changeover (DV14DSL,
DV18DSL)
The "Rotation (Rotation only)" and "Hammer
(Hammer + Rotation)" can be switched by aligning
the drill mark " " or the hammer mark " " with
the triangle mark on the outer body.
To make holes in the metal, wood or plastic, switch
to "Rotation (Rotation only)".
To make holes in the bricks or concrete blocks,
switch to "Hammer (Hammer + Rotation)".
CAUTION
●
Do not use the Cordless hammer drill in the
"Hammer" setting if the material can be bored by
rotation only. Such action will not only reduce
drill efficiency, but may also damage the drill tip.
7. Tightening torque adjustment
(1) Tightening torque
Tightening torque should correspond in its intensity
to the screw diameter. When too strong torque 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. 7)
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 ... 22" on the clutch dial , and the
dots. The tightening toque at position "1" is the
weakest and the torque is strongest at the highest
number.
(3) Adjusting the tightening torque (See Fig. 7)
Rotate the clutch dial and line up the numbers "1,
3, 5, ... 22" on the clutch dial, or the dots, with the
triangle mark on the outer body. Adjust the clutch
dial in the weak or the strong torque direction
according to the torque you need.
CAUTION
●
The motor rotation may be locked to cease while
the unit is used as drill. While operating the driver
drill, take care not to lock the motor.
