OPERATION

Driving operation

Fig.15

Switch on the tool by pulling the switch trigger. Hold the
tool squarely and firmly up against the driving surface. A
screw will be automatically carried to the driving position
and fastened.

CAUTION:

•

Always check the bit carefully for wear before
driving operations. Replace a worn bit or poor
fastening may result.

•

Always hold the tool squarely against the driving
surface. Holding it at an angle may damage the
screw heads and cause wear on the bit. This may
also lead to poor fastening.

•

Always keep the tool firmly against the driving
surface until the driving is over. Failure to do so
may cause insufficient fastening of screws.

•

Be careful not to drive a screw onto another screw
already fastened.

•

Do not operate the tool without screws. It will
damage the driving surface.

•

Do not apply oil or grease on the sliding surface of
the feeder box.

Driving in corner

Fig.16

This tool can be used to drive at a position 15 mm away
from the wall as shown in the figure.

CAUTION:

•

Driving at a position closer than 15 mm to the
wall or driving with the stopper base in contact
with the wall may damage the screw heads and
cause wear on the bit. This may also lead to poor
fastening of screws and malfunction of the tool.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

•

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.

•

Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or
the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.

Replacing carbon brushes
