control button to the left.
• To select reverse direction, depress the forward/reverse control button the opposite
direction.
• The center position of the control button locks the tool in the off position. When
changing the position of the control button, be sure the trigger is released.
TORQUE CONTROL (FIGURE G)
This tool is fitted with a 8 position collar 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 symbol .
• 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.
