Feature Purpose
Bolt mode Clockwise
This mode helps to repeat screwdriving continuously with
equal torque. This mode also helps to reduce the risk of
breakage of bolts/nuts due to overtightening.
Counterclockwise
This mode helps to prevent a bolt from falling off. When loosening a
bolt with the tool driving in counterclockwise rotation, the tool automat-
ically stops or slows down after the bolt/nut gets enough loosened.
NOTE:
The timing to stop the driving varies depending on the
type of the bolt/nut and material to be driven. Make a
test driving before using this mode.
