			Selecting the level of torque you need is done using the adjustable torque control ring, position on the end of the cordless screwdriver, near the chuck. The higher the level of torque you select, the more turning force the screwdriver will deliver, and the more resistance it can overcome before stopping.

			The adjustable torque ring is numbered, depending on how many torque levels the tool has. More torque levels does not necessarily mean the tool has a higher overall level of torque, it simply refers to how the overall level is broken down.

			Being able to adjust the torque level gives you greater control when driving screws. If in doubt, always start with a low level of torque, and gradually increase if necessary. This may mean working slowly at first, but gradually you will gain confidence and a thorough understanding of the different levels.
