To remove the driver bit, pull the sleeve in the direction
of the arrow and pull the driver bit out.
NOTE: If the driver bit is not inserted deep enough into
the sleeve, the sleeve will not return to its original posi-

the pistol shape or straightening to use in the
straight shape, do not hold the bendable part of
the tool. Failure to do so may cause your hand and
fingers to be pinched and injured by this part.
The tool can be used in two ways; a straight shape and
a pistol shape which are selectable according to the
conditions of workplace and screwdriving.

Screwdriving operation

CAUTION:
proper torque level for your work.
CAUTION:
inserted straight in the screw head, or the screw
and/or driver bit may be damaged.
Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and apply pres-

NOTE: When driving wood screw, pre-drill a pilot hole
2/3 the diameter of the screw. It makes driving easier
and prevents splitting of the workpiece.

Drilling operation

First, turn the adjusting ring so that the arrow points to
the marking. Then proceed as follows.
Drilling in wood
When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained
with wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide
screw makes drilling easier by pulling the drill bit into
the workpiece.
