ADJUSTING THE TORQUE
Your drill/driver is equipped with an adjustable
torque clutch for driving different types of screws
into different types of materials. It also has a
setting for "drilling".
The proper setting depends upon the type of
material, the size of screw being used and the
function required.
Adjust the torque setting as follows:
1. Identify the torque settings located on the
torque adjustment ring (1) (Fig. 4).
2. Rotate adjustment ring to align the correct
torque setting number with the torque
indicator arrow (2). See the chart below for
the correct torque settings.
1–4 For driving small screws
5–8 For driving medium sized screws into
soft materials
9–12 For driving screws into soft &
medium-density materials
13–14 For driving screws into hardwood
15 For driving large screws
For drilling. This position is marked
with a drill bit icon (3) on the torque
adjustment ring (Fig. 5).
