Care And Maintenance - Kobalt KXHD 124B-03 Manual

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
13. Screw Driving
a. Try to use modern screws for easy driving and improved grip.
b. Set the mode selector (D) to driving mode
adjustment to the most suitable setting. If in doubt, start with a low setting and gradually
increase the setting until the most. Do not change the torque setting when the tool is
running.
c. It is advisable to drill a pilot hole first. The pilot hole will act as a guide for the screw and
will also make tightening the screw less difficult.
d. Keep sufficient pressure on the drill to prevent the bit turning out of the screw head. The
screw head can easily become damaged, making it difficult to drive it home or remove it.
