Spindle lock

This tool is fitted with a spindle lock so that it can be used as a
normal screwdriver. Use the tool this way to loosen very tight
screws or to firmly tighten screws.
Rotating the gearbox (fig. C, D & E)
The tool is fitted with a rotating gearbox to facilitate various
screwdriving applications, such as reaching screws in tight
corners and close to ceilings and floors. The bitholder can be
set to a centre position and 3 off-centre positions: top, left and
right. The gearbox and the spindle can be rotated to set the
various bitholder positions.
To rotate the gearbox (9) push the pivot release slider (5)
◆
forward and turn the gearbox 90° to the left or to the right
(fig. C & D). Note: The gearbox will only turn 90° left and
right. Do not attempt to turn any further.
To rotate the spindle (10) push the pivot release slider (5)
◆
backward and turn the spindle head 180° left or right (fig. E).
Warning! Ensure the gearbox and spindle are locked into
place before use.
LED light
The LED light is activated automatically when the trigger is
depressed. The LED will illuminate when the trigger is
depressed and the forward/reverse slider (2) is in the locked
off position (central position).
Hints for optimum use
Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
◆
Always use the correct type and size of screwdriver bit.
◆
If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a small
◆
amount of washing liquid or soap as a lubricant.
Use the auto spindle lock to loosen very tight screws or to
◆
firmly tighten screws.
Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line
◆
with the screw.

When screwing in wood, it is recommended to drill a pilot
◆
hole with a depth equal to the length of the screw.
A pilot hole guides the screw and prevents splintering or
distortion of the wood. For the optimum size of the pilot
hole, refer to the table below.
When screwing in hardwood, also drill a clearance hole
◆
with a depth equal to half the length of the screw.
For the optimum size of the clearance hole, refer to the
table below.
