High-torque button
You can use the tool in the high-torque mode. In the
high-torque mode, the tool speed is less likely to
decrease than in the normal mode when the load of the
tool is large.
To use the tool in the high-torque mode, press and hold
the reverse / high-torque button. The high-torque lamp
lights up. To return to the normal mode, press and hold
the reverse / high-torque button again.
