FUNCTION-SELECTION RING (MODEL
FX1271T ONLY) AND TORQUE-
ADJUSTMENT RING (FIG. 12 AND 13)
CAUTION
Do not adjust the torque
or function-selection ring
when the tool is running.
Your tool is equipped with a function-selection
ring (FX1271T only) and torque–adjustment
ring for various applications. Move the ring
depending on the requirements of your task.
The proper setting depends on the job and the
type of bit, fastener, and the material you will
be working on. In general, use greater torque
for larger screws. If the torque is too high, the
screws may be damaged or broken.
Model FX1171T (Fig. 12):
Your tool features 23 torque settings and 1
driving setting. Output torque will increase as
the ring is rotated from 1 to 23 and vice-versa.
Adjust the torque by rotating the torque-
adjustment ring. The higher the torque setting,
the more force the tool produces to turn an
object.
The Drill setting
will lock the clutch
to permit drilling and other heavy-duty
applications.
Model FX1271T (See Fig. 13):
Your tool features 23 torque settings, 1 drilling
setting and 1 hammer drilling setting. Output
torque will increase as the ring is rotated from 1
to 24 and vice-versa.
The Drill setting
will lock the clutch to
permit (non-hammer) drilling and other heavy-
duty applications.
The Hammer Drilling setting
will lock the
clutch to permit hammer drilling only.
NOTICE:
Do not use the hammer drilling
setting for drilling in wood, metal, ceramic, and
plastic to prevent the drill/screw bit from being
damaged.
