Adjusting the driving depth
► Fig.7: 1. Stopper base 2. Casing 3. Adjusting knob
Depress the stopper base as far as it will go. While
keeping it in this position, turn the adjusting knob until
the bit tip projects approx. 5 mm from the stopper base.
Drive a trial screw. If the screw head projects above the
surface of the workpiece, turn the adjusting knob in the
"A" direction; if the screw head is counter-sunk, turn the
adjusting knob in the "B" direction.
Installing screw strip
Insert the screw strip through the screw guide. Then
insert it through the feeder box until the first screw
reaches the position next to the driving position.

MAINTENANCE

7 ENGLISH
CAUTION:
Always hold the tool squarely against the driving
surface. Holding it at an angle may damage the
screw heads and cause wear on the bit. This
may also lead to poor fastening.
Always keep the tool firmly against the driving
surface until the driving is over. Failure to do so
may cause insufficient fastening of screws.
Be careful not to drive a screw onto another
screw already fastened.
Do not operate the tool without screws. It will
damage the driving surface.
CAUTION:
Driving at a position closer than 15 mm to the
wall or driving with the stopper base in contact
with the wall may damage the screw heads and
cause wear on the bit. This may also lead to
poor fastening of screws and malfunction of the
tool.
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspec-
tion or maintenance.
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol
or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks
may result.
