"DIAL-A-DEPTH " FASTENER CONTROL ADJUSTMENT (Fig 4,5,6)
The DIAL-A-DEPTH TM Fastener Control adjustment feature provides close control of the fastener drive depth;
from flush with the work surface to shallow or deep countersink. First, set the air pressure for consistent drive in
the specific work, then use the DIAL-A-DEPTH
TO ADJUST DIAL-A-DEPTH

adjustment is necessary.
2. If adjustment is required, disconnect air supply.
3. Remove cover mounting nuts and cover. Tilt out the contact trip arm assembly. Rotate the adjusting nut to the
left to increase fastener drive depth, or to the right to decrease it. Reinstall the contact arm assembly, cover and
mounting nuts.
