length while a screw strip
is in the magazine. Remove the screw strip
prior to making adjustments.
This magazine is designed for screws that are
1 – 2 inches (25 – 51 mm) long. Failure to set
the correct screw length can cause screws to
not be driven accurately which can result in the
failure to advance the next screw or screws
not being screwed-in properly. The shoe has
the specific length marks for the most common
screw lengths. The arrow points at the length
mark indicating the current screw length
(Fig. 6a).
a. Slide the screw length adjustment tab to the
left (Fig. 6a).
b. While holding the screw length adjustment tab
in place, adjust the shoe to the desired length
by pulling the shoe out or pushing it into the
magazine until the arrow is aligned with the
desired length mark (Fig. 6a).
c. Release the screw length adjustment tab.
Make sure that the locking pin on the other
side of the magazine has fully returned and is
in the desired marked depth position (Fig. 6b).
SETTING SCREW-IN DEPTH (FIG. 7)
Use the dial for screw-in depth to set the
desired screw-in depth.
Turn the dial up (or clockwise) for driving
the screws deeper into the workpiece, or
down (counterclockwise) to allow more of the
screwhead to stick out from the workpiece. The
actual setting position is shown on the screw-in
depth indicator.
Upon setting, drive some screws for testing and
use the dial to adjust the depth, if required.
