OPERATION
SCREWDRIVING
TORQUE ADJUSTMENT
(Driving power of your drill-driver)
When using your drill-driver for various driving applica-
tions, it becomes necessary to increase or decrease the
torque in order to help prevent the possibility of damaging
screw heads, threads, workpiece, etc. In general, torque
should correspond to the intensity of the screw diameter.
If the torque is too high or the screws too small, the
screws may be damaged or broken.
The torque is adjusted by rotating the torque adjustment
ring.
See Figure 7.
The torque is greater when the torque
adjustment ring is set on a higher setting. The torque is
less when the torque adjustment ring is set on a lower
setting.
The proper setting depends on the type of material and the
size of screw you are using.

the front of your drill.
