Setting the driving depth (fig. C)
The depth sensitive feature offers the following
advantages:
- the selected driving depth is repeatable for
structural integrity
- screws with sealing washers are driven correctly
so that no leaks occur
The driving depth is determined by the position of
the depth locator (5) in relation to the bit or socket.
The symbols on the collar indicate how to set the
driving depth.
• Turn the collar clockwise to increase the driving
depth.
• Turn the collar counterclockwise to decrease the
driving depth.
DW263K - When using a nutsetter
• For screws with sealing washers, turn the
adjustment collar until the end of the nutsetter is
flush with the end of the depth locator.
• If required, turn the collar until the nutsetter is
recessed approximately 2 mm into the depth
locator.
• Also refer to the screw manufacturer's
specifications for the proper sealing washer
settings in different applications.
• Drive a screw into a waste piece and check the
distance between the washer and the material.
