The depth can be adjusted by turning the locator. Turn it
in "B" direction for less depth and in "A" direction for more
depth. One full turn of the locator equals 1.5 mm
(1/16")change in depth.
Adjust the locator so that the distance between the tip of
the locator and the screw head is approximately 1 mm
(0.04") 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
you obtain the proper depth setting.
