Drill (cont’d)
Torque adjustments
This feature allows you to set the torque
(tightening power) of your drill/driver
depending on your specific application and
amount of driving power required. Driving
large-diameter screws requires greater torque
power to properly seat the screw.
The chuck stops rotating when the selected
torque is reached.
There are 24 torque settings:
1-4:
For driving small screws.
4-8:
For driving screws into soft materials or plastics
9-12:
For driving screws into soft woods.
13-16:
For driving screws into medium/hard woods.
16-20:
For driving screws into hard woods.
21-24
: For powerful screw driving or drilling metal or using spade (hole) bits.
Note: Always start on the lowest setting. The drill symbol gives the
highest torque setting and is used when drilling larger holes and/or for
driving larger screws.
