Installing or removing the bit

Loosen the thumb screws which secure the casing. Pull
out the casing in the direction of the arrow.

Press the dust cover toward the plain bearing and pull
out the bit. If the dust cover cannot be moved as far as
the plain bearing, try it again after turning the bit slightly.
To install the bit, insert it into the socket while turning it
slightly. After installing, always make sure that the bit is
securely held in place by trying to pull it out.

Setting for desired screw length

There are 3 (for Model 6833) or 5 (for Model 6834) posi-
tive-lock screw length settings. To obtain the desired set-
ting, pull out the stopper base while depressing the lever
until you see the number of the desired screw length
(indicated on the plate) appear to rest on the very top
edge of the casing. See the table below for the relation
between the number indicated on the plate and the
respective screw length ranges.

Adjusting the driving depth

Depress the stopper base as far as it will go. While keep-
ing it in this position, turn the adjusting knob until the bit
tip projects approx. 5 mm (3/16”) from the stopper base.
Drive a trial screw. If the screw head projects above the
surface of the workpiece, turn the adjusting knob in the A
direction; if the screw head is counter-sunk, turn the
adjusting knob in the B direction.

Installing screw strip

Insert the screw strip through the screw guide. Then
insert it through the feeder box until the first screw
reaches the position next to the driving position.
