Torque Settings
(Tightening Power of Your Cordless Drill)
When using your drill for various driving applications, it becomes necessary
to increase and decrease the power and torque in order to prevent the
possibility of damaging screw heads, threads, work piece, etc.
In general, power and torque should correspond to the difficulty of the screw to
be driven. If torque is too high the screws may be damaged or broken.
To Adjust Torque
•
Locate the arrow on the front of the housing.
•
Identify the torque settings and 1 drill setting on the torque adjustment ring.
•
Rotate the adjustment ring to the desired setting aligning the number on
the adjustment ring with the arrow on the housing.
•
To increase or decrease torque, rotate torque adjustment ring. The lower
the number, the lower the torque setting. The higher the number, the
higher the torque setting.
Hammer Drill
Soft materials such as brick are relatively easy to drill. Concrete however, will
require much more pressure to keep the bit from spinning. Do not place
excessive pressure on the drill as this will over load it and drain the charge
from the battery. Using excessive pressure may also result in a breakdown
(such breakdowns are not covered under warranty).
Hammer Mode
To select hammer mode turn the front collar of the drill so the hammer icon
is in line with the indicator arrow on the body of the drill.
Note: When using the drill in hammer mode ensure the torque adjustment
ring has the drill bit icon in line with the arrow on the body of the drill.
The tool must be in drill/hammer mode when drilling masonry materials
Be sure to use carbide tip bits for all masonry work.
State of Charge Indicator
Your cordless drill is designed with a state of charge indicator, this allows you
to ascertain the amount of charge left in the battery.
To obtain a reading, insert the battery into the drill and fully depress the
switch. Once the drill has reached full speed, depress the button below the
state of charge indicator. A level of charge will be displayed.
Note: The drill must be running at full speed to get an accurate reading.
