Rotation to Hammer changeover (DV18DSDL)
The "Rotation (Rotation only)" and "Hammer
(Hammer + Rotation)" can be switched by aligning
the drill mark " " or the hammer mark " " with
the triangle mark on the outer body.
To make holes in the metal, wood or plastic, switch
to "Rotation (Rotation only)".
To make holes in the bricks or concrete blocks,
switch to "Hammer (Hammer + Rotation)".
CAUTION
Do not use the Cordless hammer drill in the
"Hammer" setting if the material can be bored by
rotation only. Such action will not only reduce drill
efficiency, but may also damage the drill tip.
Tightening torque adjustment.
Tightening torque should correspond in its
intensity to the screw diameter. When too strong
power is used, the screw head may be broken or
be injured.
Be sure to adjust the clutch dial position according
to the screw diameter.
The tightening torque differs depending on the
type of screw and the material being tightened.
The unit indicates the tightening torque with the
numbers "1, 3, 5 ... 22" on the clutch dial, and a
dot. The tightening torque at position "1" is the
weakest and the torque is strongest at the highest
number.
Rotate the clutch dial and line up the numbers "1,
3, 5, ... 22" on the clutch dial, or the dot, with the
triangle mark on the outer body. Adjust the clutch
dial in the weak or the strong torque direction
according to the torque you need.
