OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Removing or installing the bit (Fig. 1 & 2)
Important:
Always be sure that the machine is switched off and
unplugged before removing or installing the bit.
Pull the locator out of the locking sleeve while turning
the locator slightly. Then grasp the bit with a pair of
pliers and pull the bit out of the magnetic bit holder.
Sometimes, it helps to wiggle the bit with the plires as
you pull.
To install the bit, push the bit firmly into the magnetic
bit holder. Then install the locator by pushing it firmly
onto the locking sleeve while turning the locator
slightly.
Depth adjustment (Fig. 3, 4 & 5)
Adjust the locator by turning the locking sleeve. One
full turn of the locking sleeve moves the locator 2 mm.
Initially, adjust the locator so that the tip of the locator
is flush with the base of the screw head. Drive a trial
screw into your material or a piece of duplicate
material. If the depth is not suitable for the screw,
continue adjusting until the proper depth setting is
obtained.
Switch action (Fig. 6)
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the machine, always check to see
that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to
the ''OFF'' position when released.
To start the machine, simply pull the trigger. Machine
speed is increased by increasing pressure on the
trigger. Release the trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the trigger and then
push in the lock button. To stop the machine from the
locked position, pull the trigger fully, then release it.
Reversing switch action (Fig. 7)
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.
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before opra-
tion.
• Use the reversing switch only after the machine
comes to a complete stop. Charging the direction of
rotation before the machine stops may damage the
machine.
