Proper Hand Position (fi g. 6)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS use
proper hand position as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold
securely in anticipation of a sudden
reaction.
For best results, hold the screwdriver with the
hand directly in line with the fastener and press
the variable speed switch with the last one or
two fingers of the hand, as shown. This reduces
the chance of the screw slipping from the drive
accessory when pressure is applied.
To drive the screw, place it on the bit or into the

the screw into the workpiece with a smooth,
continuous motion. When the screw is seated, a
buzzing sound will come from the front of the tool to
indicate that the clutch has disengaged.
