Ryobi hammer drill query
Hi, here in the UK I recently bought a Ryobi CDI-1441
hammer drill/drill set. The hammer drill has a yellow torque ring with positions labelled 1-24, where 23 shows a drill symbol and 24 a hammer symbol. However I can't seem to turn the ring past 23 to get to the hammer setting! Is there a knack to this, or a button to depress or something? Any help appreciated. The manual is no use at all. -- ------------------------------------------------- Change red to blue in email address when replying ------------------------------------------------- |

Try turning the ring the other direction, past the zero or one, to 24. I
don't have that particular model, but i seem to recall using someone else's drill and having the same dilemma --dave wrote in message ...

My next port of call is to go to a big DIY store and fiddle with the ones on display! -- ------------------------------------------------- Change red to blue in email address when replying ------------------------------------------------- |
