SEGURIDAD DEL CABLE DE
EXTENSIÓN
Warning! Keep the extension cord clear of
the working area. Position the cord so it will not
get caught on the workpiece, tools or any other
obstructions while you are working with the power
tool.
Make sure any extension cord used with this tool is
in good condition. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one of heavy enough gauge to carry
the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and
in good condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualifi ed
electrician before using it. Protect your extension
cord from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp
or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your power
tools. This circuit must not be less than 14 gauge
wire and should be protected with either a 15
A time delayed fuse or circuit breaker. Before
connecting the power tool to the power source,
make sure the switch is in the OFF position and
the power source is the same as indicated on the
nameplate. Running at lower voltage will damage
the motor.

The lock-on button feature allows the trigger switch
to be locked in the ON position at full speed when
continuous operation for extended periods of time
is required.
To lock the lock-on button in the ON position,
pull back on the variable speed trigger switch
(5) to start the screwdriver and push the lock-on
button (6) into the screwdriver handle. Release
the variable speed trigger switch while holding the
lock-on button into the screwdriver handle. The
screwdriver will continue to run. To release the
lock-on button, pull variable speed trigger switch
back (5) and then release the trigger.
Note: Operating the screwdriver with the variable
speed trigger switch for an extended period of time
may cause the screwdriver motor to overheat. If
the screwdriver gets hot, stop driving screws and
allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes.
Inserting a screwdriver bit (Fig. E)
This tool has a magnetic bit holder that provides
convenient bit changes. To install a bit, simply
insert the hex bit shank (7) into the magnetic bit
holder (8) that is located inside the depth stop (1).
Push the bit into the magnetic bit holder until the
magnet holds the bit in place.
Notes:
a. Use only 1" (25 mm) long bits that are
designed for use in driving drywall screws.
b. Make sure the bit size is correct for the drywall
screws being driven. This will usually be a #2
size.
