Adjusting fastening torque
The fastening torque can be adjusted in six
stages
by turning the adjusting ring
so
that
the pointer on the adjusting ring points to
a
number on the tool body. The fastening
torque
is
minimum when the pointer points
to the number
1
and maximum when
it
points to the
a\-
marking. The clutch
will slip
at
varying torque
levels
when the
pointer
is
set
at
the numbers
1
to
5.
The
clutch
is
designed not to slip
at
the
-8-
marking.
