Adjustable torque
This drill is equipped with 16
torque settings plus one drill
setting which are controlled by
the torque collar (2). By rotating
the collar behind the chuck, it is
possible to adjust the torque.
This will allow better control
when using the drill as a
screwdriver as it prevents over-
tightening of the screws.
For drilling, always use the use
the Drill position by aligning the
Drill symbol with the triangular
indicator on the front face of the
drill near the torque collar.
For setting the torque position,
select a low setting on the torque collar and align the
selected number with the triangular indicator on the side
face of the drill, next to the torque collar. Increase gradually
to set the correct torque. It is better to use a scrap piece of
material if possible to set the torque.
