You can change the impact force in three steps: hard,
soft, and Reverse rotation auto stop mode.
This allows a tightening suitable to the work.
Every time the button is pressed, the number of blows
changes in three steps.
The function of Reverse rotation auto stop mode works only with pulling the trigger fully in counterclockwise tool

For approximately one minute after releasing the switch trigger, the impact force can be changed.
