Screwdriving operation

Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and apply pressure to the tool. Start the tool slowly and then increase the speed gradually. Release the switch trigger just as the screw bottoms out. The electric brake will then stop the tool immediately, preventing the screw and/or bit from being damaged.

When driving wood screws, predrill pilot holes to make driving easier and to prevent

splitting of the workpiece. See the chart.

NOTE :

3 5 19/64")

Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in the screw head, or the screw and/or bit may be damaged.
