TORQUE CONTROL (FIGURE D)
This tool is fitted with a torque adjustment
collar (3) to select the operating mode and
to set the torque for tightening screws.
Large screws and hard workpiece materials
require a higher torque setting than small
screws and soft workpiece materials.
• For drilling in wood, metal and plastics,
set the collar to the drilling position

• For screwdriving, set the collar to the
desired setting. If you do not yet know the
appropriate setting, proceed as follows:
• Set the collar to the lowest torque setting.
• Tighten the first screw.
• If the clutch ratchets before the desired
result is achieved, increase the collar
setting and continue tightening the screw.
Repeat until you reach the correct setting.
Use this setting for the remaining screws.
