Mode Selector (Fig. A, D)
Your tool is equipped with a mode selector
you to select one of three speeds or Precision Wrench™
mode. Select the mode based on the maximum speed/
torque needed and control the speed of the tool using the
variable speed trigger switch
Precision Wrench™ (Fig. D)
In addition to normal impacting modes, this tool features
the Precision Wrench™ mode which grants the user greater
control in both fastening and loosening applications. When
set in forward, the tool will fasten at 1200 RPM until impact
begins. The tool will then pause for 0.75 seconds before
continuing to impact at a rate of 1890 IPM (DCF961)/2015
IPM (DCF964), providing the user with greater control and
reducing the chance of overtightening or damaging material.
When set in reverse, the tool will impact at a normal speed
and rate of 1890 IPM (DCF961)/ 2015 IPM (DCF964). Upon
sensing that the fastener has broken free, the tool will cease
to impact and will reduce speed to help prevent "run‑off" of
loose hardware.
