SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to screwdriver safety rules. If you use this power
tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious
personal injury.
1. Hold power
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the fastener may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord. Fasteners contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
2. Always be sure you have a firm footing.
Be sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
3. Hold the tool firmly.
4. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
5. Do not touch the bit or the workpiece
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in
this instruction manual may cause serious personal
injury.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on
the tool.
Depth adjustment
Fig.1
The depth can be adjusted by turning the locking sleeve.
GEA010-1
Turn it in "A" direction for less depth and in "B" direction
for more depth. One full turn of the locking sleeve equals
1.5 mm change in depth.
Adjust the locking sleeve so that the distance between
the tip of the locator and the screw head is
approximately 1 mm as shown in the figures. Drive a trial
screw into your material or a piece of duplicate material.
If the depth is still not suitable for the screw, continue
adjusting until you obtain the proper depth setting.

Reversing switch action

CAUTION:
Always check the direction of rotation before

rotation before the tool stops may damage the tool.
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction
of rotation. Move the reversing switch lever to
the position (A side) for clockwise rotation or
the position (B side) for counterclockwise rotation.
