SCREWDRIVING/DRILLING/HAMMER DRILLING MODE SELECTION (Fig. 8)
To select the mode, rotate the mode
selection ring until the appropriate icon
aligns with the arrow and clicks into
position.
Screwdriving
Rotate the mode selection ring so the
screw symbol is aligned with the arrow.
Set the torque adjustment ring to the
appropriate number setting for the torque
desired.
NOTICE:
The torque adjustment ring may be set on any number; change
between screwdriving and drilling modes using the mode selection ring.
Drilling
CAUTION!
When the mode selection ring is in the drill/ hammer drill mode, the
drill will not clutch out regardless of the position of the torque adjustment ring.
Rotate the mode selection ring so the drill symbol is aligned with the arrow.
NOTICE:
The torque adjustment ring may be set on any number.
Hammer drilling
Rotate the mode selection ring so the hammer symbol is aligned with the arrow.
ADJUSTABLE TORQUE CLUTCH (Fig. 9)
The torque clutch can be adjusted to 24
different settings. The higher the torque
setting, the more force the drill produces
to turn an object in either LO or HI rotation
speed.
When using the drill for different driving
applications, it is necessary to increase
or decrease the torque in order to help
prevent the possibility of damaging screw
heads, threads, workpiece, etc.
Adjust the torque by rotating the torque-adjustment ring.
The proper setting depends on the job and the type of bit, fastener, and material
you will be using. In general, use greater torque for larger screws, but if the
torque is too high, the screws may be damaged or broken.
For delicate operations, such as removing a partially stripped screw, use a
low torque setting. For operations such as drilling into hardwood, use a higher
torque setting.
