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.
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
