HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE
Screwdriving
￿	Always use the correct type and size of screwdriver bit.
￿	If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a small
	amount of washing liquid or soap as a lubricant.
￿ Use the spindle lock to loosen very tight screws or to
	firmly tighten screws.
￿ Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line
	with the screw.
￿ When screwing in wood, it is recommended to drill a pilot
	hole with a depth equal to the length of the screw. A pilot
	hole guides the screw and prevents splintering or
	distortion of the wood. For the optimum size of the pilot
	hole, refer to the table below.
￿ When screwing in hardwood, also drill a clearance hole
	with a depth equal to half the length of the screw. For the
	optimum size of the clearance hole, refer to the table below.
Screw size		Pilot hole ø	Pilot hole ø	Clearance hole
		(softwood)	(hardwood)
Nº 6 (3,5 mm)		2,0 mm	2,5 mm	3,6 mm
Nº 8 (4 mm)		2,5 mm	3,0 mm	4,5 mm
Nº 10 (5 mm)		3,0 mm	3,5 mm	5,0 mm

Drilling

￿ Always apply a light pressure in a straight line with the drill bit.

￿ Just before the drill tip breaks through the other side of the workpiece, decrease pressure on the tool.

￿ Use a block of wood to back up workpieces that may splinter.

￿ Make an indentation using a centre punch at the centre of the hole to be drilled in order to improve accuracy.
