Adjusting the screwdrive bit depth (Fig. G)
It is important to control the depth to which the drywall screw
will be driven. Over driving the screw will drive the screw too
deep and break the outer paper layer of the drywall. Under
driving the screw will leave the screw head above the
drywall surface making it impossible to properly finish the
drywall.
The depth control system is made up of the depth stop (1)
and the depth adjuster (2).
Warning! The following adjustments should always
be verified using a scrap piece of drywall to avoid
damaging the “good” drywall sections.
1. Rotate the depth adjuster counter clockwise until
approximately 1/4” of the screwdriver bit extends beyond
the depth stop.
2. Place a drywall screw onto the screwdriver bit. The
magnetized bit will hold the screw onto the bit.
Note: Before driving the screw, press the screw point into
the drywall and make sure the screw is perpendicular to the
drywall.
3. 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.
4. If the screw is not driven deep enough, the head of the
screw will not be recessed into the drywall (Fig. H). 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. I). In this case, turn the depth adjustment
sleeve counter clockwise until the correct depth has
been achieved. Fig. J illustrates the correct depth for the
screw to be driven.
Note: For each revolution the depth adjustment sleeve is
rotated, the depth will increase/decrease approximately
1/16” (1.6 mm).
Tips for driving drywall screws
ff Always drive the screws perpendicular to the drywall so
the heads are properly countersunk. 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 variable speed 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 chattering sound until the variable speed
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.
• The belt clip allows you to conveniently attached the
screwdriver to your belt. This will allow you to use both
hands for positioning the drywall.
Removing drywall screws (Fig. K)
To remove drywall screws, remove the depth stop (1) to
expose the screwdriver bit.
Notes:
a. The depth stop is a press fit onto the depth adjuster (2).
Simply twist and pull outward to slide it off the depth
adjuster.
b. You can also turn the depth adjuster clockwise to expose
the screwdriver bit. This however will cause you to lose
the depth setting and you will have to re-set the depth.
Maintenance
Keep guards, air vents and the motor housing as clear as
possible of dust and dirt. Wipe with a clean cloth and blow
through with a low-pressure air supply. Excessive build-up of
metal dust can cause tracking of electrical current from the
internal parts to exposed metal parts. Do not overload your
angle grinder. Overloading causes a reduction in speed and
efficiency, causing your angle grinder to become too hot. If
this happens, operate your angle grinder under no load for
one or two minutes until it has cooled to normal operating
temperature. Switching your angle grinder off under load will
reduce the life of the switch.
