Adjustable depth rod

The adjustable depth rod is used to drill holes of uniform
depth. Loosen the clamp screw, set to desired position, then
tighten the clamp screw.

OPERATION

Screwdriving operation

Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and apply
pressure to the tool. Start the tool slowly and then increase
the speed gradually. Release the switch trigger as soon as
the clutch cuts in.

NOTE:

Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in the
screw head, or the screw and/or bit may be damaged.

When driving wood screws, predrill pilot holes to make
driving easier and to prevent splitting of the workpiece.
See the chart.

If the tool is operated continuously until the battery
cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for 15
minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.
