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.

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.
