OPERATION

SETTING DEPTH

See Figure 5.

The adjustable nosepiece of the 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:

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

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

Adjust 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.

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

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

Secure the workpiece. Use clamps if necessary.

Plug the screwdriver into power supply source.

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

Hold 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.

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