INSERTING COLLATED SCREW STRIP
NOTICE: Use only screw strips with screw sizes
#6, #7, and #8 with this magazine. Only insert
screw strips when the screwdriver is turned off
and the trigger switch is locked.
Proper use of collated strips will reduce the risk
of injury, reduce jams and prevent screws from
damaging the workpiece. For best performance
use new, undamaged strips free of debris.
a. Take a collated strip, holding the plastic
portion, and feed from the bottom of the screw
guide and into the bottom of the advancing
mechanism
b. Continue feeding the strip until the first screw
is one slot below the driver bit.

NOTICE: Do not remove the screw strip by
forcibly pulling the screw strip downwards to
avoid damaging the product or even causing
personal injury.
