SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated
adherence to screwdriver safety rules. If you use
this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer
serious personal injury.
1. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces

tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

no one is below when using the tool in high loca-
tions.
3. Hold the tool firmly.
4. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
5. Do not touch the bit or the workpiece immedi-
ately after operation; they may be extremely hot
and could burn your skin.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Removing or installing the bit (Fig. 1 & 2)
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before removing or installing the bit.
Pull the locator out of the locking sleeve while turning the
locator slightly. Then grasp the bit with a pair of pliers and
pull the bit out of the magnetic bit holder. Sometimes, it
helps to wiggle the bit with the plires as you pull.
To install the bit, push the bit firmly into the magnetic bit
holder. Then install the locator by pushing it firmly onto
the locking sleeve while turning the locator slightly.
Depth adjustment (Fig. 3, 4 & 5)
Adjust the locator by turning the locking sleeve. One full
turn of the locking sleeve moves the locator 2 mm.
Initially, adjust the locator so that the tip of the locator is
flush with the base of the screw head. Drive a trial screw
into your material or a piece of duplicate material. If the
depth is not suitable for the screw, continue adjusting
until the proper depth setting is obtained.

CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF"
position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Tool speed is
increased by increasing pressure on the trigger. Release
the trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the trigger and then push
in the lock button. To stop the tool from the locked posi-
tion, pull the trigger fully, then release it.

CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before opration.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a
complete stop. Charging the direction of rotation before
the tool stops may damage the tool.
