Screwdriver safety warnings
1. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the fastener may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
Always be sure you have a firm footing.

Be sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
3. Hold the tool firmly.
4. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
5. Do not touch the bit or the workpiece immedi-
ately after operation; they may be extremely
hot and could burn your skin.
6. Always secure workpiece in a vise or similar
hold-down device.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

personal injury.
FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function
on the tool.
Depth adjustment
► Fig.1: 1. Locking sleeve
The depth can be adjusted by turning the locking
sleeve. Turn it in "A" direction for less depth and in "B"
direction for more depth. One full turn of the locking
sleeve equals 1.5 mm change in depth.
Adjust the locking sleeve so that the distance between
the tip of the locator and the screw head is approxi-
mately 1 mm (3/64") as shown in the figure. 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.

CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the "OFF" position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool
speed is increased by increasing pressure on the switch
trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and
then push in the lock button.
To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch
trigger fully, then release it.
NOTE:
• Even with the switch on and motor running, the
bit will not rotate until you fit the point of the bit
in the screw head and apply forward pressure to
engage the clutch.
Reversing switch action
► Fig.5: 1. Reversing switch lever
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direc-
tion of rotation. Move the reversing switch lever
to the position (A side) for clockwise rotation or
the position (B side) for counterclockwise rotation.
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before
operation.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool
comes to a complete stop. Changing the direc-
tion of rotation before the tool stops may dam-
age the tool.
