2. Adjust the screw-in depth (Fig. 7)

Adjust the screw-in depth on this unit by turning the

depth adjuster knob.

(1) Press the slider all the way in to the slider case. Then

rotate the depth adjuster knob so that the bit tip

protrudes about 5 mm.

(2) Try driving a screw and make fine adjustments as

needed. To make the fine adjustment, rotate towards

A (counterclockwise) if the screw head is too high

after screw-in. If the screw head is too low after

screw-in, then rotate towards B (clockwise).

INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE SCREW

STRIP

1. Install (Fig. 8)

(1) Insert the tip of the linked screw strip into the belt

guide groove (A section).

(2) Insert the tip of the tape into the slider groove (B

section) and press inwards in the arrow direction.

(3) Set so the screw on the strip is just prior (1 screw

width) to the screw-in position (Fig. 9, Fig. 10).

CAUTION

Set the screw strip securely inside. If not set securely,

the bit might scratch the board surface (low feed

pressure) or the screw might be wasted (too much

feed pressure).

2. Removal (Fig. 11)

(1) If you run out of screws on the tape or want to

remove a screw strip during a job, pull in the direction

of the arrow as shown in the figure to remove.

(2) You can return the screw strip in the opposite direction

by pressing the reverse button.

INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE BIT

CAUTION

To prevent the chance of an accident, always turn off

the power switch and remove the battery from the

body.

NOTE

When replacing the bit be sure to install it securely so

it will not come loose or fall out later.

1. Removing the screw strip attachment

Grip the unit securely with one hand. With your other

hand, rotate the screw strip attachment in the direction

of the arrow in Fig. 12. Next pull in the direction of

the arrow in Fig. 13 and remove.

NOTE

This will be hard to remove if the lath or plaster

powder attaches near the attachment slot. Clean this

section carefully to prevent the lath or plaster powder

from adhering here.

2. Attaching and removing the bit (Fig. 14)

No bits other than plus driver (Phillips) bits (No. 2,

136 mm long) can be used for screw strip tightening

jobs.

Attach the bits securely using the following procedure.

Move the guide sleeve to the top edge, feed the bit

into hexagonal hole on the anvil and then release the

guide sleeve.

To remove, perform the above procedure in reverse

order.

NOTE

The bit was not installed correctly (securely) if the

guide sleeve will not return to its original position.

Keep inserting the bit inside the hexagonal socket

head hole until it makes contact.

3. Installing the screw strip attachment

Install using the steps in “1. Removing the screw

strip attachment“ in reverse order.

HOW TO USE

CAUTION

Always use safety goggles during the work.

Adjust the rotation direction to the clockwise

1. How to operate

Press the unit straight up against the work and pull

the switch trigger to automatically feed and tighten

the screws (Fig. 15).

NOTE

⅜ Place this unit straight up against the work during

screw-tightening. Using the unit while at an angle to

the work might damage the screw head or cause bit

wear. Also the proper tightening torque will not be

transmitted to the screw and might cause the screw

to seat improperly.

⅜ Press firmly on the unit until the screw tightening is

complete. Loosening the pushing pressure on the

unit might cause the screw to seat improperly.

⅜ When driving the screw, avoid hitting the unit as

pushing in.

This could prevent the screw from being sent

normally.

⅜ Attempting to tighten one screw on top of another

will cause the screw to fall or stop the screw feed so

use caution.

⅜ Driving blanks

During continuous screw tightening, you might not

notice you have run out of screws and continue to

operate the unit. Driving without any screws will

cause the bit to damage the lath or plaster board, so

do the screw tightening while checking the number

of screws remaining.

⅜ If the slider does not move smoothly, try cleaning the

sliding surfaces with an air gun, etc.

2. Using in corners (Fig. 16)

Unit can drive screws at positions as close as 15 mm

from the wall.

NOTE

Do not attempt to drive screws when closer to the

wall than 15 mm.

Do not drive screws while the slider case is in contact

with the wall. Damaging the screw head causes bit

wear. The proper tightening torque is not transmitted

to the screw if the screw head or bit is worn. This

might also cause the screw not to seat properly and

might cause this unit to break.

3. Removing the screws

The tightened screws can be removed by rotating

them for the reverse rotation

(counterclockwise).

Properly install the bit against the groove on the

screw head, and pull the switch trigger while

depressing the bit against the groove vertically.

Or, depress the bit against the groove on the screw

head vertically while pulling the switch trigger.
