You have it in mode 4/auto which is basically a nut spinner to seat the nut/bolt before tightening. Try it modes 1-3. Mode 3 I used for removing and 2 for fitting wheel nuts. First couple of chuggas would normally be enough to to finish with a torque wrench to 120nm

It’s an odd mode but makes sense. Fitting bolts it only just does them up but removing it gives max torque then slows right down to spin it off.
You did briefly flick to undo but I guess having a small battery wasn’t enough. They really need a 6ah or better still a 5ah HO

It will never get that bad to resort to that!
I don't read user manuals on the principal that I'm a man and that would be a frivolous waste of time.

Odd as my parkside behaved exactly the same today with it set on 400nm, and I dont think that has an auto mode (or 400nm!). After a minute or two, we tried the ratchet and very suprised it came off with, what felt like, 60nm or so. Somewhat disappinted and may be a good excuse to return it!

I am pretty much of the same mind but once in a while it bites you in the ass and this is such an occasion! I remember when Dan had my stapler and I was all for getting it packed up and returned under warranty, turns out he had used up the staples!
