5. When driving wood screws (Fig. 21)
(1) Selecting a suitable driver bit
Employ plus-head screws, if possible, since the driver bit easily slips off the heads of
minus-head screws.
(2) Driving in wood screws.
○ Prior to driving in wood screws, make pilot holes suitable for them in the wooden board.
Apply the bit to the screw head grooves and gently drive the screws into the holes.
○ After rotating the rotary hammer at low speed for a while until the wood screw is partly
driven into the wood, squeeze the trigger more strongly to obtain the optimum driving force.
CAUTION
○ Exercise care in preparing a pilot hole suitable for
the wood screw taking the hardness of the wood into
consideration. Should the hole be excessively small
or shallow, requiring much power to drive the screw
into it, the thread of the wood screw may sometimes be
damaged.
○ Be sure to remove the dust extraction unit before use.
