Reversing switch action (Fig. 6)
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before opera-
tion.
• Use the reversing switch only after the machine
comes to a complete stop. Changing the direction of
rotation before the machine stops may damage the
machine.
This machine has a reversing switch to change the
direction of rotation. Move the reversing switch lever
to the
position for clockwise rotation or the
position for counterclockwise rotation.
Operation
Fit the screw on the point of the bit and place the point
of the screw on the surface of the workpiece to be
fastened. Apply pressure to the machine. Start the
machine slowly and then increase the speed gradu-
ally. Withdraw the machine as soon as the clutch cuts
in.
CAUTION:
• Use the proper bit for the head of the screw that you
wish to use.
• When fitting the screw onto the point of the bit, be
careful not to push in on the screw. If the screw is
pushed in, the clutch will engage and the screw will
rotate suddenly. This could damage a workpiece or
cause an injury.
• Do not continue unnecessary clutching operation.
NOTE:
Make sure that the bit is inserted straight in the screw
head, or the screw and/or bit may be damaged.

When using insert bit (Fig. 7 & 8)
Fit together the insert bit and magnetic bit holder.
Install a locator assembly for an insert bit.
Then adjust depth setting. Initially, adjust the locator
assembly to create a distance of approximately 1 mm
from the tip of the locator to the base of the screw
head. Continue adjusting until the proper depth set-
ting is obtained by following the method of ''Depth
adjustment''.
To remove the bit, pull the magnetic bit holder firmly.
Hold the magnetic bit holder in your hand and grasp
the bit with a pair of pliers. Pull the bit out of the
magnetic bit holder. Sometimes, it helps to wiggle the
bit with the pliers as you pull.
