screw head are fully engaged. (figure H)

• At this time the screw is being held securely to the screw holder carrier by means of an

internal magnet. Note: Magnet will not work on non-ferrous screws.

• Ensure unit is set for driving screws in the forward position.

• While driving the screw, the screw holder carrier and arm will retract allowing the screw

head to be driven to its desired depth (figure I).

• After use, return screw holder arm back into its storage position to protect screw holder

from damage.

Screw driving Notes:

•Do not use double ended screwdriver bits.

•Do not use screwdriver as a pry bar in any position.

•To avoid screwdriver being turned on accidentally, do not carry in your pocket.

A light (5) is built-in to the screwdriver above the spindle (6). To use the light without the spindle turning, place the forward / reverse selector (2) in the neutral position.

DRILLING

•Insert the appropriate hex shank drill bit.

•Select the largest screw icon on the clutch collar for maximum torque.

•Select forward rotation.

NOTE: When drilling, the bit may become disconnected from the spindle upon withdrawing it from the material. Should this occur, the bit can be removed by re-inserting the hex shank into the spindle and running the tool in the reverse direction.

GENERAL DRILLING TIPS
