Application
Tightening when force
and speed are desired.
Tightening when a good
finishing is needed.
Tightening when excessive
tightening need to be avoided
because of potentially clogged
female screw and broken or
damaged screw head.
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.
