The impact force can be changed in three steps: hard,
medium and soft.
This allows a tightening suitable to the work.
Every time the button
grade changes in three steps.
For approximately one minute after releasing the switch
trigger, the impact force can be changed.
NOTE:
• During the operation of switch trigger, the impact force
grade cannot be changed.
Changing the torque setting (screwdriver
mode " ")
The fastening torque can be adjusted by pressing the
button in screwdriver mode.
The numbers on the LED display shows torque setting.
The fastening torque is minimum at the number 1 and
maximum at the number 9. The indication "P" is a special
mode for fastening self drilling screws.
Every time the button
changes from 1 to 9 and P, and then returns to 1.
The torque setting changes fast by keeping pressing the
button.
P mode is suitable for fastening self drilling screws into
steel plates in the following conditions.
• With speed change lever at "2" side, fastening max.
4 mm screw into total max. 3.2 mm steel plates.
• With speed change lever at "1" side, fastening max.
5 mm screw.
Before an actual operation, drive a trial screw into your
material or a piece of duplicate material to determine
which torque level is required for a particular application.
First, try to fasten the screw at "1". Then increase the
number to continue fastening. Hold the tool firmly during
operation.
CAUTION:
• Don't fasten the machine screw on P mode. It may
twist your wrist suddenly and result in personal injury.
