Driving Screws (Fig. 13)
Try to use standard-type screws for easy
driving and improved grip.
a. Install the correct screw-driving bit.
b. Set the screw-driving mode and select the
suitable torque level by pressing the screw-
driving mode button.
c. Use the correct speed range for the job and
initially apply minimal pressure to the variable
speed trigger switch. Increase the speed only
when full control can be maintained.
d. It is advisable to drill a pilot hole first. This
hole should be slightly longer than the screw
to be driven and just smaller than the shank
diameter of the screw. The pilot hole will act
as a guide for the screw and will also make tightening the screw less difficult. When screws
are positioned close to an edge of the material, a pilot hole will also help to prevent splitting
of the wood.
e. Use a countersinking bit (sold separately) to accommodate the screw head so that it does
not protrude from the surface.
f. Keep sufficient pressure on the drill to prevent the bit from turning out of the screw head. The
screw head can easily become damaged, making it difficult to drive or remove the screw.
g. To stop the drill, release the trigger switch and allow the tool to come to a complete stop.
Automatic Spindle Lock
The automatic spindle lock allows you to use the drill as a manual screwdriver. You can give
an extra twist to firmly tighten a screw, loosen a very tight screw, or continue working when the
battery charge is depleted.
