OPERATION
Driving operation
Switch on the tool by pressing the switch trigger and at
the same time pushing the lock button. Hold the tool
squarely against the workpiece and apply forward pres-
sure to the tool. The screw will be automatically carried to
the driving position and driven into the workpiece.
NOTE:
• Do not fire the tool without screws. This will dam-
age the workpiece.
• If the feeder box becomes sluggish in operation,
spray car wax (spray type wax) on its sliding sur-
faces. Never lubricate it.
Driving in corner
This tool can be used to drive at a position 15 mm (5/8”)
away from the wall as shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
• Driving at a position closer than 15 mm (5/8”) to the
wall or driving with the stopper base in contact with
the wall may damage the screw heads and cause
wear on the bit. This may also lead to poor fasten-
ing of screws and malfunction of the tool.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection
or maintenance.
Replacing carbon brushes
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
