• To run the tool, press the variable speed switch (1).
The pressure exerted on the variable speed switch
determines the tool speed.
• If necessary, press the lock-on button (2) for
continuous operation and release the variable
speed switch. The lock-on button works only in
fullspeed, forward and reverse rotation.
• To stop the tool, release the switch.
• To stop the tool in continuous operation,
press the switch briefly and release it. Always
switch OFF the tool when work is finished and
before unplugging.
Holding the tool (fig. F)
• For best results, hold the screwdriver with the
hand directly in line with the fastener and press
the variable speed switch with the last one or two
fingers of the hand, as shown. This reduces the
chance of the screw slipping from the drive
accessory when pressure is applied.
• To drive the screw, place it on the bit or into the
socket, press the variable speed switch and
push the screw into the workpiece with a
smooth, continuous motion. When the screw is
seated, a buzzing sound will come from the front
of the tool to indicate that the clutch has
disengaged.
Various types of 1/4" hex. bits, holders, sockets and
adaptors are available as an option.
Consult your dealer for further information on the
appropriate accessories.
