Common Wear Parts 

Nose Piece or Depth Control

: 

(Picture #1 Fig. 8) 

•

Nose Piece or Depth Control naturally wears over time due to constant abrasion of the screws 
and contact with the surface being screwed down. A good rule of thumb is if the nibs on the 
front of the nose piece are worn down, it is time to replace the Depth Control or nose piece. 
Another sign is if the channel for the screw is elliptical rather than somewhat circular, replace 
the nose piece. As this channel expands, the screw will have a much greater chance of going into 
the material off vertical, causing countersink problems, jamming problems and excessive bit 
wear. 

Gear Wheel: (Picture #3 Fig. 5)

The gear wheel will wear out with use. Mode of failure will likely be freezing in place or the wheel will 
spin freely. In either case the belt does not advance. Replacement requires removal of the gliding piece from 
the housing by unscrewing the roller screw (3mm Allen key), removal of the spacer (Phillips screw) at the 
bottom of the gliding piece, and removal of the friction pin holding the wheel in place. 

•

Gear wheel must turn free and lock at each position. Roll wheel forward until it clicks then put 
pressure backwards with your thumb. Gear wheel must lock in all positions. If it does not lock, 
Gear Wheel is likely damaged and needs to be replaced.  The purpose of the wheel is to allow 
the belt to advance and not allow it to roll back during or after the advancing movement.  

Spring for the Gliding Piece: (Picture #3 Fig. 2) 

The spring for the gliding piece will eventually become fatigued and the tool will move sluggishly or more 
likely will not move back to the fully extended position completely. Simple remedy is just to replace spring.
