Adjusting the fastening torque (Fig. 6)

When you wish to drive machine screws, hex bolts, etc.

with the predetermined torque, adjust the fastening torque

as follows.

1. First remove the battery cartridge from the tool.

2. Loosen and remove the screw that secures the ring.

3. Rotate the ring in the front of the tool by hand so that a

hole can be seen below the ring.

4. Place the battery cartridge in place and pull the switch

trigger. Release it so that the adjust ring rotates and

the hole becomes visible as illustrated. And then

remove the battery cartridge. (Fig. 7)

5. Use an optional adjust grip to adjust the fastening

torque. Insert the pin of the adjust grip into the hole in

the front of the tool. And then, turn the adjust grip

clockwise to set a greater fastening torque, and

counterclockwise to set a smaller fastening torque.

6. Align the yellow line with your desired number on the

fastening torque scale.

7. Insert the battery cartridge and be sure that a

fastening torque has been set up by using a fastening

torque tester.

8. Rotate the ring in the front of the tool and then tighten

the screw to secure the ring.

NOTE:

• Numbers on the fastening torque scale are a guideline

to set up your desired fastening torque.
