The fasteningtorque is minimum when the number 1 is aligned with thepointer, and maximum when the marking is alignedwith the pointer.The clutch will slip at various torque levels when set atthe number 1 to 18. The clutch is designed not to slip atthe marking.Before actual operation, drive a trial screw into yourmaterial or a piece of duplicate material to determinewhich torque level is required for a particular application.ASSEMBLYCAUTION:• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and thebattery cartridge is removed before carrying outany work on the tool.Installing or removing driver bit or drill bit1009331Turn the sleeve counterclockwise to open the chuck jaws.Place the bit in the chuck as far as it will go.
