Operating Instructions
1. Power On/Off and Torque Adjustment:
- Rotate the ring at the top of the screwdriver to select one of the six torque levels (0.5 N·m to 6 N·m). The smart display will show the selected torque.
- To turn off the screwdriver, rotate the ring to the "OFF" position.

Figure 5: The smart display provides real-time feedback on torque and battery life.
2. Speed Control (Dual Speed):
- The screwdriver features a dual-speed trigger.
