Spindle lock (fig. E)
This tool is fitted with a spindle lock collar (2) 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 (fig. F).
Hints for optimum use
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 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.
