depth. Remember that the insert bit and screw will not rotate
until you "punch" the tool against the work surface.
NOTE: Practice driving screws into pieces of scrap material to
familiarize yourself with the tool and the clutch action before
attempting to drive screws into your workpiece.
3. To remove screws, pop off the locator assembly and switch
the reverse lever to REV. Reattaching the Locator Assembly
will not change your depth setting.
Metal Studs
Your Drywall Driver can be used to attach drywall to 25
through 20-gauge metal studs. This tool is not recommended
for use with metals heavier than 20-gauge because it operates
at 4000 RPM and will dull the sharp tip on metal screws. When
working witty heavier sheet metal, MILWAUKEE recommends
using a drywall driver with a rated speed of 2540 RPM.
When working with light gauge sheet metal, follow the same
steps as you do when working with wood studs. Refer to the
depth guide on page 15 to help you set the proper depth.
You may notice that the screw hesitates slightly when it fin-
ishes breaking through the drywall and starts to penetrate the
sheet metal. This is normal. Just remember to use a "punching"
motion to drive the screw and keep firm pressure on the tool
until the screw is seated.

Correct Head of screw is
below surface, but does not
puncture facing.

Too Deep Head of screw
punches hole in drywall
face, making finishing diffi
cult and allowing moisture
beneath facing. Decrease
depth
3.
Too Shallow Head of
screw extends above dry
wall face and can not be fin
ished off. Increase depth.
