I got a heck of a deal on (think it was 18 volt) DeWalt with two batts and charger of course. No book. It is a hammer drill. So it has three settings on the drive. i can figure out the hammer and the setting for using the variable clutch. It has one more setting with an icon that looks like a screw with a common blade top. What the heck is that for.?

| Should be a series of numbers on the head as well, those denote when the Clutch disengages while driving screws. 1 is Weakest 20 0n my 1/2" 18 on the 3/8 for almost full power then a Drill emblem for steady full power to chuck. |

| That is a locked position. No clutch or hammer just for driving long screws like deck screws. |

You are correct Thad, Thanx. I had the torque set so high in the clutch position that I never reached the limit to make it clutch. A little messing around and I am right on the money. No more Black and Deckers for me.
