OPERATION

SETTING DEPTH

See Figure 5.

The adjustable nosepiece of your tool will automatically drive screws to preset depths. It may be helpful to begin each new job by driving several test screws in scrap material to check and adjust the depth setting.

To make preset depth adjustments:

nRotate the adjusting sleeve until you obtain the desired depth for the bit holder or screwdriver bit.

nTest drive a screw in scrap material to determine if it is correct.

nAdjust as necessary to increase or decrease the desired depth.

DRIVING SCREWS

See Figures 6 - 7.

There are two two options for gripping the handle of the screwdriver, determined by operator comfort and working angle.

The screwdriver has a variable speed switch for operator control of speed and torque limits.

nBe sure the screwdriver is in the OFF position before connecting it to the power supply.

nCheck the direction of rotation lever for correct setting (forward or reverse).

nSecure the workpiece. Use clamps if necessary.

nPlug the screwdriver into power supply source.

nDepress the switch trigger to start the screwdriver. Do not lock the switch ON for jobs where the screwdriver may need to be stopped suddenly.

nHold the screwdriver firmly and place the bit and screw at the point to be driven.

NOTE: The bit holder is magnetized and will hold most commercial drywall screws.

nApply quick, snap action type pressure to the bit. The pressure applied will engage the clutch and drive the screw.
