FASTENING WITH SCREWS
This procedure shown in (Fig. 7) will enable
you to fasten ma terials together with your tool
without stripping, splitting or separating the
material.
First, clamp the pieces together and drill the
first hole 2/3 the diam eter of the screw. If the
material is soft, drill only 2/3 the proper
length. If it is hard, drill the entire length.
Second, unclamp the pieces and drill the
second hole the same diameter as the screw
shank in the first or top piece of wood.
Third, if flat head screw is used, countersink
the hole to make the screw flush with the
surface. Then, simply apply even pressure
when driving the screw. The screw shank
clearance hole in the first piece allows the
screw head to pull the pieces tightly together.
RUNNING NUTS AND BOLTS
Variable speed control must be used with
caution for driving nuts and bolts with socket
set attach ments. The technique is to start
slowly, increasing speed as the nut or bolt runs
