SCREWDRIVING
TORQUE ADJUSTMENT
(Driving power of your drill-driver)
When using your drill-driver for various driving applications,
it becomes necessary to increase or decrease the torque in
order to help prevent the possibility of damaging screw
heads, threads, workpiece, etc. In general, torque should
correspond to the intensity of the screw diameter. If the
torque is too high or the screws too small, the screws may be
damaged or broken.
The torque is adjusted by rotating the torque adjustment ring.
See Figure 10.
The torque is greater when the torque
adjustment ring is set on a higher setting. The torque is less
when the torque adjustment ring is set on a lower setting.
The proper setting depends on the type of material and the
size of screw you are using.
TO ADJUST TORQUE
Identify the twenty four torque indicator settings located
on the front of your drill.
See Figure 10.
Rotate adjustment ring to the desired setting.
• 1 - 4 For driving small screws.
5 - 8 For driving screws into soft material.
9 - 12 For driving screws into soft and hard
materials.
13 - 16 For driving screws in hard wood.
17 - 20 For driving large screws.
21 - For heavy drilling.
