You can change the impact force in five steps: max-
,hard, medium, soft, and T mode.
This allows a tightening suitable to the work.
Every time the button
blows changes in five steps.
"T" is a special mode for fastening self drilling screws.
In this mode, the tool starts to drive a screw with faster
rotation, which is suited for drilling with the self-drilling-
screw tip. Once the tool starts to tighten the screw, it
impacts in medium force grade.
For approximately one minute after releasing the switch
trigger, the impact force can be changed.
