position. This locks the spindle in place, Insert the
screwdriver bit directly into the tool holder
Hints for Optimum Use
• Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
• Always use the correct type and size of screwdriver bit.
• If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a small
amount of washing liquid or soap as a lubricant.
• Use the auto spindle lock to loosen very tight screws or to
firmly tighten screws.
• Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line
with the screw.
• 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.
• 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.
