DRIVING SCREWS
When driving screws, care must be taken to
use the bit that correctly fits the screw being
driven. Make sure you use the largest bit
size that will properly fit into the head of the
screw.
1. Select the correct screwdriver bit for the
screw being driven.
2. Fasten the screwdriver bit into the
chuck, making sure the flats of the bit
are gripped by the chuck jaws.
3. Set the torque clutch to the appropriate
setting based on the chart shown on
Page 12.
NOTE:
If material is particularly soft or
porous, set the torque clutch at a lower
setting to avoid overdriving the screw.
4. If the screw is driven too far into the
workpiece before the clutch releases,
set the clutch at a lower setting and do
not pull the trigger switch fully back. If
the screw is not driven far enough into
the workpiece, set the clutch at a higher
setting.
NOTE:
Do not continue to drive the
screw once the clutch has released.
This will damage the clutch.
CHUCK REMOVAL
The drill chuck must be removed in order to
use some accessories. To remove the
chuck:
1. Remove the battery from the drill.
2.
Insert a 5/16” or larger hex key (1) into
the chuck (2) and tighten the chuck
jaws securely. Make sure each of the
three chuck jaws (3) is seated on the
flat surfaces of the hex key (see Fig.
10).
3. Tap the hex key sharply with a mallet
(4) in a clockwise direction. This action
will loosen the screw in the chuck for
easy removal.
4. Open chuck jaws and remove hex key.
5. Open chuck jaws as far as possible.
6. Remove the chuck screw using a
#2 Philips screwdriver (see Fig.
11).
NOTE:
Turn screw CLOCKWISE to
remove it. This screw has a left hand
thread.
7. Insert hex key into chuck and tighten
jaws of chuck securely (see Fig. 12).
Tap the hex key sharply with a mallet in
a COUNTERCLOCKWISE direction.
This will loosen the chuck on the
spindle. The chuck can now be
unscrewed and removed from the
spindle by hand.
