Working with the machine

9.1 Switching on/off [1-2]
The tool is not started by pressing the
switch [1-2] alone – not a tool fault!
Once the screw is driven to the de­
sired depth, the tool switches off au­
tomatically.
There are numerous ways to switch the tool on:
a)
► Set the tool's rotational direction to clock­
wise using the right/left switch [1-3].
► Move the selector switch [1-4] to the MAN
position.
► To switch the tool on, actuate the
switch [1-2] and at the same time, press on
the screw with the drill bit.
By pressing on the switch [1-2], the speed can
be infinitely adjusted.
b)
► Set the tool's rotational direction to clock­
wise using the right/left switch [1-3].
► Move the selector switch [1-4] to the AUTO
position.
► To activate the tool, press on the screw with
the drill bit.
It is not necessary to press the switch [1-2].
The top speed is set automatically.
c)
► Set the tool's rotational direction to anti­
clockwise using the right/left switch [1-3].
► Switch the tool on using the switch [1-2].
The MAN/AUTO selector switch [1-4] is in
either position.
By pressing on the switch [1-2], the speed can
be infinitely adjusted.
The drywall screwdriver rotates anti­
clockwise by pressing on the
switch [1-2] only, without also having
to press on the bit.
To unscrew screws fully, the depth
stop does therefore not need to be re­
moved.

Depth stop

Turning on the depth stop [1-5] sets the screw­
ing depth, as shown in figure [4]. The setting is
accurate to approx. ± 0.1 mm.
Anticlockwise rota­
tion
Clockwise rotation
Once the depth setting is made, drive in a test
screw then, if necessary, correct the depth.
Attaching the depth stop
► Place the depth stop [3-1] on the transmis­
sion housing [3-5].
► Then, apply pressure until the depth stop
audibly clicks into place.
Removing the depth stop
► Take the depth stop out of the transmission
housing by pulling firmly.
9.3 Frame hook and belt clip
The belt clip [5-1] can be used to attach the tool
to working clothes temporarily – it can be af­
fixed to the left or right-hand side of the tool
using a screw [5-2], making it suitable for
right-handed and left-handed operators – see
figure [5].
The tool also has a hook [6-1], by which the tool
can be hung, as required. It can be affixed to the
left or right-hand side of the housing using the
screw [6-2] – see figure [6].

Magazine attachment

The magazine attachment enables the operator
to work continuously without unnecessary pau­
ses.
Fitting the magazine attachment
► Remove the depth stop [3-1] on the bit
holder [3-2] using the bit, as described in
section 8 .
► Move the selector switch [1-4] to the MAN
position.
► Push the long bit [7-1] into the tool hold­
er [3-4] until it clicks into place.
► Then affix the magazine attachment to the
transmission housing. The magazine at­
tachment must audibly click into place.
