SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to screwdriver safety rules. If you use this power
tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious
personal injury.
1. Hold power
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the fastener may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
2. Always be sure you have a firm footing.
Be sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
3. Hold the tool firmly.
4. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
5. Do not touch the bit or the workpiece
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in
this instruction manual may cause serious personal
injury.

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 lock ring. Turn
it in "B" direction for less depth and in "A" direction for
more depth. One full turn of the lock ring equals 1.5 mm
change in depth.
Adjust the lock ring 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
you obtain the proper depth setting.
