Do not use with the clutch dial set at the line
between the number “22” and the drill mark “ ”.
Doing so may cause damage (See Fig. 21).
8. Tightening torque adjustment.
(1) Tightening torque
Tightening torque should correspond in its intensity to the screw diameter. When too
strong power is used, the screw head may be broken or be injured.
Be sure to adjust the clutch dial position according to the screw diameter.
(2) Tightening torque indication (See Fig. 20)
The tightening torque differs depending on the type of screw and the material being
tightened.
The unit indicates the tightening torque with the numbers “1, 3, 5 ... 22” on the clutch
dial, and a dot. The tightening torque at position “1” is the weakest and the torque is
strongest at the highest number.
(3) Adjusting the tightening torque (See Fig. 20)
Rotate the clutch dial and line up the numbers “1, 3, 5, ... 22” on the clutch dial, or the
dot, with the triangle mark on the outer body. Adjust the clutch dial in the weak or the
strong torque direction according to the torque you need.
