Tips for driving drywall screws
NOTE:
For each revolution the depth adjustment sleeve is
rotated, the depth will increase/decrease approximately
1/16” (1.6 mm).

T he depth control system is made up of the depth
stop 6 and the depth adjustment sleeve 5 (fig 3).
NOTE:
B efore driving the screw, press the screw point into the
drywall and make sure the screw is perpendicular to the
drywall.
NOTE:
T he following adjustments should always be verified using
a scrap piece of drywall to avoid damaging the “good”
drywall sections.

Rotate the depth adjustment sleeve counter
clockwise until approximately 1/4” of the
screwdriver bit extends beyond the depth
stop.
Place a drywall screw onto the screwdriver
bit. The magnetized bit will hold the screw
onto the bit.
Press the screw against the drywall with
steady even pressure and squeeze the
trigger switch. The clutch in the tool will
engage and the screw will be driven to the
preset depth.
If the screw is not driven deep enough, the
head of the screw will not be recessed into
the drywall (fig 4.a). In this case, turn the
depth adjustment sleeve clockwise until
the correct depth has been achieved. If the
screw is driven too deep, it will be recessed
too far into the drywall and the outer paper
of the drywall will be fractured (fig 4.b). In
this case, turn the depth adjustment sleeve
counter clockwise until the correct depth
has been achieved. Fig 4.c illustrates the
correct depth for the screw to be driven.
Always drive the screws perpendicular to the
drywall so the heads are properly counter-
sunk. They should never be driven at an
angle.
Support the tool with both hands wherever
possible. This will provide better control over
the tool help eliminate screws being driven
at an angle.
Place the drywall screw on the screwdriver
bit. The magnetic bit holder will hold any steel
screw for easy starting.
Press the screw against the drywall with
steady even pressure and squeeze the trigger
switch. The clutch in the tool will engage and
the screw will be driven to the preset depth.
Once fully driven, the clutch will make a chat-
tering sound until the trigger is released.
When the screw is properly driven, the screw
head will be slightly countersunk into the
drywall without breaking the outer drywall
paper. At this point, the clutch will release to
prevent over driving the screw. This will result
in minimum work to fill the holes and taping
the seams.
T he belt clip allows you to conveniently
attach the screwdriver to your belt for better
accessibility and portability. The nylon strap
will help you secure the tool in your hand,
providing you with a firm grip while working
and preventing the tool from falling or slip-
ping off your hand.
