NOTE: If you leave the green light blinking for a while, it stops blinking and the value displayed in the indicator will
be set.
NOTE: You can set the fastening torque level in two patterns; high speed and low speed.
When the lever displays "1", the torque level in low speed can be set. When the lever displays "2", the torque level
in high speed can be set.
When you change the speed with the speed change lever, the indicator blinks three times. After that, drive a trial
screw to check the speed and torque level.
NOTE: If you pull the switch trigger while the green light is blinking, the green light turns off and you will not be
