2.
To decrease the driving depth, simply
rotate the locator in the direction
labeled
.
The detents "lock" the locator in place,
ensuring an accurate depth setting.

To remove the locator assembly, turn
the ramp-off sleeve while pulling it
away from the tool. Reattaching the lo-
cator assembly will not change the
depth setting.
Adjusting Torque Setting (Fig. 7)
Cat. No. 6580-20, 6581-20
These screwdrivers have a torque setting
adjustment collar for driving different types
of screws into different materials. When
properly adjusted, the clutch will slip at a
preset torque to prevent driving the screw
too deep and to prevent damage to the
screw or tool.
The 6580-20 Screwdriver has a torque
setting adjustment collar that may be ad-
justed to one of forty-four settings. The
torque is adjustable from 10 to 140 inch-
pounds.
The 6581-20 Screwdriver has a torque
setting adjustment collar that may be ad-
justed to one of thirty-three settings. Be-
yond setting thirty-three, the tool will stall
before slipping the clutch. The torque is
adjustable from 10 to 110 inch-pounds.
To select a setting, turn the adjustment
collar in the direction indicated on the tool.
The selected setting will appear in the win-
dow as shown (Fig. 7).

NOTE: Use a piece of scrap material to
test the different settings before driving
screws into workpiece. To determine a spe-
cific setting for your application, use a
torque wrench to check the correct torque
at any particular setting.

APPLICATIONS
To reduce the risk of explosion,
electric shock and property
dammage. always check the
work area for hidden pipes and
wires before drilling.
Driving Drywall Screws (Fig. 8)
For Screwdrivers Rated 0-4000 RPM
Standard drywall screws are generally de-
signed for attaching drywall to wood studs
and 26 through 20-gauge steel studs.
MILWAUKEE Screwdrivers are ideal for
driving these types of drywall screws. The
depth setting is very important. Refer to
the guide below for the correct depth set-
ting (Fig. 8).
Fig. 8
Correct.
Head
screw is below sur-
face, but does not
puncture facing.
Too deep. Head of
screw punches hole in
drywall surface, mak-
ing finishing difficult
and allowing moisture
beneath facing. De-
crease depth.
Too shallow. Head of
screw extends above
drywall face and can
not be finished off.
Incease depth.
1.
Select the proper drywall screw for
each job. Pilot holes are not needed. To
insert screws, place the screw onto
the insert bit, then align the screw
against the work surface, making sure
to hold the tool and screw square to
the work surface.
