Tips: 

DO NOT USE OIL or GREASE

 on any parts. 

Blow dust and dirt from gliding piece regularly, once a day is recommended. This single action 
will do more to promote proper operation and reduce wear than any other preventive 
maintenance item. 

Correct bit size for 1”-2” attachment is 120mm and for 1”-3” is 140mm. This number can be 
found on one hex flat edge of the bit.  

To avoid jamming, be sure motor is running before down-stroke begins 

Set Up   

Bit Removal and Selection 

Use only PAM bits,

 every tool comes with one PAMDRIVE bit installed on tool (P13KDE & 

P13KUE).  Additional bits such as Phillips, Square and Torx may be purchased.  

P12K & P13K series tools will have one extra bit (Phillips). 

Bit should be approximately the same length as housing. 

To remove bit, loosen wing nut 

(Fig. 2)

 and remove attachment. 

Hold collar 

(Fig. 3)

 and pull down towards the motor then remove bit. 

Ensure bit type (Phillips, Square Drive or PAMDrive) matches screw recess 

Depth Control Adjustment

 (Nosepiece) (Fig. 1) 

Adjust the Depth Control for the length of screw (sizes stamped on Depth Control).  Screw 
should be in slot just in front of the appropriate number. 

Note

 that the screws holding the Depth Control/Nosepiece have collars so be sure that the 

collars of the screws sit down in the cutouts of the Depth Control. If they are not fully recessed, 
the gliding piece will not go back into the housing fully and screw will not countersink. 

Countersink Adjustment, inserting screws and Belt Guide: 

(Set the Depth Control to correct screw size, see Depth Control Adjustment above) then fully 
depress the Gliding Piece and adjust the countersink adjustment ring until the tip of the bit 
protrudes 3mm (1/8”) beyond the tip of the Depth Control. 

(Picture #1)

 

Insert screw strip into the belt guide. Feed the screws into the gear wheel by pushing forward 
until the screw is just below the Depth Control. (This tool feeds on the down stroke, so if the 
first screw is in the Depth Control, it will be wasted when the tool begins operation.) Ensure the 
tip of the screw sits approximately half way through the end of the Depth Control throat. 

If the strip falls forward out of the belt guide from the weight of the screws, adjust the orange 
belt tension knob 

(Fig.4) 

to just hold it in place. If it is necessary to remove screws from the 

attachment, pull strip forward, not backwards.   

Make sure the motor switch is set on forward!

 Lock the motor on full speed. Push the depth 

control against a piece of scrap material to drive the first screw. Use sufficient and continuous 
pressure to make sure screw is in contact with surface, but let the screw do the work. Make final 
countersink adjustments 

(Fig.5). 

 Repeat as necessary until you are comfortable with the 

countersink depth. Note that each click of the ring equals 1/64”.
