Adjusting the fastening torque
When you wish to drive machine screws, wood screws,
hex bolts, etc. with the predetermined torque, adjust the
fastening torque as follows.
Fig.7
The fastening torque may be adjusted by turning the
adjusting ring. The torque is increased by turning the
adjusting ring in the direction of the arrow and
decreased by turning it in the opposite direction. Align
the number 1 on the adjusting ring with the pointer on
the gear housing. Drive a trial screw into your material
or a piece of duplicate material. If the fastening torque is
not suitable for the screw, continue adjusting until the
proper torque is obtained.
CAUTION:
• The adjusting ring should be turned only within the
numbered range. It should not be forced beyond
this range.

fastened. Apply pressure to the tool and start it.
Withdraw the tool as soon as the clutch cuts in. Then
release the switch trigger.
CAUTION:
• When fitting the screw onto the point of the bit, be
careful not to push in on the screw. If the screw is
pushed in, the clutch will engage and the screw
will rotate suddenly. This could damage a
