ADJUSTABLE-TORQUE
CLUTCH
(Fig. 7)
The higher the torque setting,
the more force the drill/driver
produces
to turn an object in
either LO or HI rotation speed.
When using the drill/driver
for
different
driving applications,
increase or decrease the torque
in order to do the job and help
prevent damage to screw heads,
threads,
workpiece,
etc.

To increase torq_ue_J_
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.
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.
NOTICE:
When adjusting
the torque clutch, make sure that the speed switch
is
either completely
in the LO or HI position.
NOTICE:
Do not change the torque setting when the tool is running.
DRILL MODE (Fig. 8)
Select the drill mode
for drilling and other
heavy-duty
applications.
To select drill mode, rotate the
torque-adjustment
ring until the
drill icon aligns with the torque
indicator
and the ring clicks
into position.
