OPERATION
Fit the screw on the point of the bit and place the point of
the screw on the surface of the workpiece to be fastened.
Apply pressure to the tool and start it. Withdraw the tool as
soon as the clutch cuts in. Then release the switch trigger.
CAUTION:
• When fitting the screw onto the point of the bit, be careful
not to push in on the screw. If the screw is pushed in, the
clutch will engage and the screw will rotate suddenly.
This could damage a workpiece or cause an injury.
• Make sure that the bit is inserted straight in the screw
head, or the screw and/or bit may be damaged.
• Do not continue unnecessary clutching operation.
