How do I set the torque on my Makita DHP448 or DHP458 Cordless Hammer Driver Drill?

[MaxMarie]

Adjusting the fastening torque on your Makita DHP448 or DHP458 Cordless Hammer Driver Drill is straightforward. Here's how: First, position the action mode change lever to the screwdriver symbol. Next, use the adjusting ring to set your desired torque level. The ring features 21 torque settings, allowing you to fine-tune the power. Align the graduations on the adjusting ring with the pointer on the tool body to select your torque. Setting number 1 delivers the minimum torque, while aligning the marking with the pointer provides the maximum torque. Before starting your project, it is highly recommended that you test the setting with a trial run into a piece of the same material. Note that the adjusting ring does not lock if the pointer is set halfway between graduations. Following these simple steps will ensure you can adjust the torque to perfectly match your task.
