Which numbers on the side? If you're referring to the 1-15 on the black part, that's actually a clutch that will change how much torque the drills will put out before slipping. If you find a real drill with numbers like these (most good ones have them), try setting it to something like 1 and holding the end while you turn it on. It should start clicking and not really provide much force against your hand.

If you're referring to some other numbers, I'm sorry. Could you please explain as I would be quite interested.
