OPERATION
012704
Screwdriving operation
First, slide the action mode change lever so that it points
to the marking. Adjust the adjusting ring to the proper
torque level for your work. Then proceed as follows.
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
as soon as the clutch cuts in.
NOTE:
Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in
•
the screw head, or the screw and/or bit may be
damaged.
When driving wood screw, predrill a pilot hole 2/3
•
the diameter of the screw. It makes driving easier
and prevents splitting of the workpiece.
If the tool is operated continuously until the battery
•
cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for
15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.
Drilling operation
Drilling in wood
When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained with
wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide
screw makes drilling easier by pulling the bit into the
workpiece.
