  1.   Select the desired speed/torque range using the three-speed gear shifter (E) on 

the top of tool to match the speed and torque to the planned application. To set 

the torque level to the proper setting on the clutch collar, initially set the clutch 

collar at a lower setting to ensure the fastener to be set to your specification. 

  NOTE:

depth. The lower the number, the lower the torque output.

  2.  Rotate the mode control collar (C) so the screw symbol is aligned with the arrow. 
  3.  Set the torque adjustment collar (D) to the appropriate number setting for the 

torque desired.
