The work light will still operate when the tool  is in the 

centre (lock off position).

Hints for optimum use 

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.

Use the forward/reverse/lock off collar in the center posi

-

tion 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 

distortion 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.
