Selecting the direction of rotation (
fi
g. D)
For drilling and for tightening screws, use forward
(clockwise) rotation. For loosening screws
or removing a jammed drill bit, use reverse
(counterclockwise) rotation.
The forward/reverse window (3) displays the
rotation direction with an arrow.
♦
To select forward rotation, push the forward/
reverse slider (2) to the forward position.
♦
To select reverse rotation, push the forward/
reverse slider (2) to the rearward position.
♦
To lock the tool, set the forward/reverse slider
into the centre position.
Selecting the torque (
fi
g. E)
This tool is
fi
tted with a collar to set the torque
for various screwdriving and drilling applications.
Large screws and hard workpiece materials require
a higher torque setting than small screws and soft
workpiece materials. The collar has a range
of 6 settings to suit your application.
♦
To set the torque, rotate the torque adjustment
collar (6) clockwise or counterclockwise.
♦
For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired
setting.
If you do not yet know the appropriate setting,
proceed as follows:
- Set the collar (6) to the lowest torque setting.
-
Tighten the
fi
rst screw. - If the clutch ratchets
before the desired result is achieved,
increase the collar setting and continue
tightening the screw. Repeat until you reach
the correct setting. Use this setting for the
remaining screws.
Screwdriving applications
Torque range: low torque for
small screws and high torque for
large screws
Drilling/screwdriving
♦
Select forward or reverse rotation using the
forward/ reverse slider (2).
♦
To switch the tool on, press the on/off switch
(1).
♦
To switch the tool off, release the on/off switch
(1).
Screwdriving using the screw holder
(
fi
g. F1 - F3)
The screw holder (7) can be used with 1” and 2”
screwdriver bits. The screw holder cannot be used
with bit tip holder extensions.
♦
Pull the screw holder (7) out the tool (
fi
g. F1).
♦
Place the screw onto the screw holder (
fi
g. F2).
♦
Push the screw holder towards the screw
making sure the bit tip and the screw are fully
engaged (
fi
g. F3).
The screw is securely held to the screw holder with
a magnet.
The magnet does not work on non-ferrous screws.
♦
Drive the screw into the wall.
When screwdriving, the screw holder retracts in
order to allow the screw to be driven to its required
depth.
LED light
The LED light (5) is activated automatically
when the trigger is depressed. The LED will also
illuminate when the trigger is depressed and
the forward/reverse slider (2) is in the locked off
position (central position).
Hints for optimum use
Screwdriving
♦
Always use the correct type and size of
screwdriver bit.
♦
If screws are dif
fi
cult to tighten, try applying
a small amount of washing liquid or soap as
a lubricant.
♦
Use the spindle lock to loosen very tight
screws or to
fi
rmly tighten screws.
♦
Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in
a straight line with the screw.
♦
When screwing in wood, it is recommended to
drill a pilot hole with a depth equal to the length
of the screw. A pilot hole guides the screw and
prevents splintering or distortion of the wood.
For the optimum size of the pilot hole, refer to
the table below.
♦
When screwing in hardwood, also drill
a clearance hole with a depth equal to half the
length of the screw. For the optimum size of
the clearance hole, refer to the table below.
