Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Additional Safety Rules for Collated
Magazine Attachment
• The collated magazine is to only be used with the DEWALT
DCF620 or DCF621 cordless screwgun.
• Observe all operating instructions and safety regulations contained in
the manual for the screwgun the magazine accessory is used with.
• Before use, ensure that the magazine accessory is properly
attached to the tool.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally
• When driving screws, never reach into the magazine accessory.
Keep hands clear of the advancing mechanism and the spot
where the screw is being driven.
• DO NOT use the magazine accessory as a gripping surface.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing
an operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring.
Fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric
shock.
• Use only screw strips that are suitable to this magazine. Only insert
screw strips when the screwdriver power is off and the trigger is
locked.

• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are
NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with
soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or
lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust,
which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other
injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face
and body.

Setting Magazine Screw Length (Fig. 5)
This magazine is designed for 1"– 2" (20– 50 mm) screw lengths.
Failure to set the correct screw length can cause screws to not be
driven accurately which can result in the failure to advance to the next
screw or screws not being driven properly. The shoe has marked
specific slots for each of the most common screws, however this
attachment can still drive any size screw between 1"–2" (20–50mm).
To accommodate for less common screws adjust to the next longest
slot.
CAUTION: Do not adjust while a
screw strip is in the magazine.
1. Slide screw length adjustment
tab(B) to the left.
2. Holding the screw length
adjustment tab in place, adjust
the shoe (E) to the desired
length.

to forward position.
NOTE: Always hold the screwgun perpendicular to work piece.
3. With the magazine installed on the screwgun, position shoe (E) on
work piece in location where screw is to be driven.
4. Switch the screwgun on by holding the trigger in the on position.
Continue to hold trigger or engage the trigger lock-on.

reduce jams and prevents
screws from damaging work
piece. For best performance
use new, undamaged strips
free of debris.
1. Take a collated strip, holding the plastic portion, and feed from
the bottom of the screw guide (A) and into the bottom of the
advancing mechanism(D).
2. Continue feeding the strip until the first screw is 1 slot below the
driver bit.
Setting Screw Depth (Fig. 1, 7)
Turn fine depth adjustment (C) counterclockwise (as viewed from
behind the tool) to reduce the screw drive depth into the work piece.
Turn the fine depth adjustment (C) clockwise to increase the screw
drive depth into the work piece.
There is a gauge next to the adjustment wheel which displays the
screw depth setting. When the slider (L) of the gauge is furthest back
from the nose of the tool, as in Fig. 7B, the screw driving depth is set
to the deepest possible position.
When the slider is closest to the nose of the tool, as in Fig. 7A, the
screw driving depth is set to proudest (most raised) position.
