Screwdriver Safety Warnings; Functional Description; Depth Adjustment - Makita FS2500 Instruction Manual

Power tool use and care
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
8.
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work gloves
which may be entangled. The entanglement of cloth work
gloves in the moving parts may result in personal injury.
Service
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
2. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.

Screwdriver safety warnings

Be sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.

Depth adjustment

1
► 1 . Locking ring
The depth can be adjusted by turning the lock ring. Turn
it in "B" direction for less depth and in "A" direction for
more depth. One full turn of the lock ring equals 1.5 mm
change in depth.
Adjust the lock ring so that the distance between the
tip of the locator and the screw head is approximately 1
mm as shown in the figures. Drive a trial screw into your
material or a piece of duplicate material. If the depth is
still not suitable for the screw, continue adjusting until
you obtain the proper depth setting.
