The icon is a little different to what I've seen on others and I don't know how to tell otherwise.
Thanks!

Yes that is the hammer setting on your drill. The next setting is for screwing things in with no clutch release (it will keep rotating while the button is depressed), and it appears you have a series of numbers next which are the clutch settings. These will apply different amounts of screwing pressure before the clutch disengages. Good for when you don't want to over tighten it strip screws.
For anyone new to drills:
Please do not use the drill setting for screws, you're gonna strip the head and regret it. Even with years of experience, being too lazy to turn the dial has burned me countless times
Thanks for this add 100% correct, it's for drilling not screwing!
