User tips
When driving screws into wood, metal and other
materials:
• Before using the appliance check if the drill or
screw bit is properly fitted and centered inside
the drill chuck.
• Screw bits are available in several shapes and
dimensions. When unsure, always try if the bit
fits on the screw head without any free play
before using the machine.
• Make sure the machine is not running when
it contacts the screw. A rotating bit may slip.
This could result in damage to the work piece.
• Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a
straight line with the screw.
• If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a
small amount of washing liquid or soap as a
lubricant to the screws thread.
• Use the spindle lock feature to loosen very
tight screws or to firmly tighten screws.
• When screwing in wood, it is recommended
to drill a hole with a depth equal to almost the
length of the screw. A pilot hole guides the
screw and prevents splintering or distortion of
the work piece.
