Hi there, The number settings on a drill refer to the torque which is the turning power or force needed for the screw / fixing. 5 is the setting I've used for the brickwork the general rule is to start on a lower number and then work your way up until you hear a ratcheting sound. Hope this helps.
What does changing the setting to 5 do?
What number should it be when drilling into brick?
