Screwdriving operation

Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and apply
pressure to the tool. Start the tool slowly and then increase
the speed gradually. Release the trigger just as the screw
bottoms out. If the trigger is not released, the screw may strip
out the hole or the screw and/or bit may be damaged.
NOTE:
• Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in the
screw head, or the screw and/or bit may be damaged.
• When driving wood screws, predrill pilot holes to make
driving easier and to prevent splitting of the workpiece.
