Hints for optimum use
Screwdriving
u
Always use the correct type and size of screwdriver bit.
u
If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a small
amount of washing liquid or soap as a lubricant.
u
Use the spindle lock to loosen very tight screws or to
firmly tighten screws
u
Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line
with the screw.
u
When screwing in wood, it is recommended to drill a pilot
hole with a depth equal to the length of the screw. A pilot
hole guides the screw and prevents splintering or distor-
tion of the wood. For the optimum size of the pilot hole,
refer to the table below.
u
When screwing in hardwood, also drill a clearance hole
with a depth equal to half the length of the screw. For
the optimum size of the clearance hole, refer to the table
below.

Drilling pilot holes
u
Always apply a light pressure in a straight line with the drill
bit.

splinter.
u
Make an indentation using a centre punch at the centre of
the hole to be drilled in order to improve accuracy.
