GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

Warning! Wear a dust mask that is designed to be used
when operating a power tool in a dusty environment.
Warning! Dust that is created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities may contain
chemicals that are known to cause cancer, birth defects,
or other genetic abnormalities. These chemicals include:
f Lead from lead-based paints
f Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other
masonry products
f Arsenic and chromium from chemically treate lumber
The level of risk from exposure to these chemicals varies,
according to how often this type of work is performed. In
order to reduce exposure to these chemicals, work in a
well-ventilated area, and use approved safety equipment,
such as a dust mask that is specifically designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
SEGURIDAD DEL CABLE DE EXTENSIÓN
Warning! Keep the extension cord clear of the working
area. Position the cord so it will not get caught on the
workpiece, tools or any other obstructions while you are
working with the power tool.
Make sure any extension cord used with this tool is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
of heavy enough gauge to carry the current the tool will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good
condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have
it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it. Protect
your extension cord from sharp objects, excessive heat and
damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your power tools. This
circuit must not be less than 14 gauge wire and should be
protected with either a 15 A time delayed fuse or circuit
breaker. Before connecting the power tool to the power
source, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the
power source is the same as indicated on the nameplate.
Running at lower voltage will damage the motor.
CONTENTS
Carefully unpack the drywall screwdriver. Compare the
contents against the "Drywall screwdriver components"
chart below.

ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING

Warning! To avoid fire or toxic reaction, never use
gasoline, naphtha, acetone, lacquer thinner or similar
highly volatile solvents to clean the tool.
Forward/Reverse switch (Fig. B)
The forward/reverse switch (4) is conveniently mounted
in front of the variable speed trigger switch (5). To make
the screwdriver rotate clockwise for driving screws, push
the forward/reverse switch (4) to the left. To make the
screwdriver rotate counter-clockwise to remove screws,
push the forward/reverse switch (4) to the right.
Notes:
a. Never change the position of the forward/reverse
switch (4) while the screwdriver bit is turning.
b. The variable speed trigger switch (5) will NOT function
with the forward/reverse switch (4) in the middle position.
Variable speed trigger switch (Fig. C)
This screwdriver is equipped with a variable speed
On/Off trigger switch.
1. To start screwdriver, gently squeeze the variable
speed trigger switch (5).
Note: The screwdriver will turn at its slowest speed
when the variable speed trigger switch is depressed
slightly. The screwdriver will turn at its fastest speed
when the variable speed trigger switch is fully depressed.
2. To stop the screwdriver, release the variable speed
trigger switch (5).
Lock-on button (Fig. D)
The lock-on button feature allows the trigger switch to be
locked in the ON position at full speed when continuous
operation for extended periods of time is required.
To lock the lock-on button in the ON position, pull back on
the variable speed trigger switch (5) to start the screwdriver
and push the lock-on button (6) into the screwdriver handle.
Release the variable speed trigger switch while holding the
lock-on button into the screwdriver handle. The screwdriver
will continue to run. To release the lock-on button, pull variable
speed trigger switch back (5) and then release the trigger.
Note: Operating the screwdriver with the variable speed
trigger switch for an extended period of time may cause the
screwdriver motor to overheat. If the screwdriver gets hot,
stop driving screws and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes.
Inserting a screwdriver bit (Fig. E)
This tool has a magnetic bit holder that provides convenient
bit changes. To install a bit, simply insert the hex bit shank
(7) into the magnetic bit holder (8) that is located inside
the depth stop (1). Push the bit into the magnetic bit holder
until the magnet holds the bit in place.
