Dead Spindle Action
All D
E
WALT screwdrivers provide a dead output spindle to permit fasteners to be
located easily in the driving accessory. Clutches are held apart by light spring
pressure permitting the driving clutch to rotate without turning the driven clutch and
accessory. When sufficient forward pressure is applied to the unit, the clutches
engage and rotate the spindle and accessories. A reversing switch makes it possible
to drive or loosen either right or left hand screws.
Accessory Assembly
FIG. 2
The 6.35 mm (1/4") hex drive ball lock chuck
is used on all depth sensitive and drywall
screwdrivers. Assemble accessories by engaging
the hex spindle and tapping lightly on the accessory
until it snaps in place. Usually pliers are required to
remove the accessory by pulling forward. The 6.35
mm (1/4") hex drive quick change chuck (Fig. 2),
is used on all Versa Clutch™ units. A ball retainer
provides positive locking of all accessories in the
chuck. Pull forward on the ball retainer and hold
while inserting or removing accessories. Release for positive accessory retention.
