“live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock)
• Usesuitabledetectorstofindhiddenutilitylinesor
callthelocalutilitycompanyforassistance (contact
with electric lines can lead to re or electrical shock;
damaging a gas line can result in an explosion;
penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or
an electrical shock)

- guide screw to screwdriving bit (screw is held in place
by magnetic bit holder)
- rmly push tip of screw into workpiece
- press trigger A and push tool forward to start screwing
or unscrewing
- adjust screwing depth, if necessary
• Adjusting screwing depth 8
- rotate sleeve E clockwise for increasing the screwing
depth
- rotate sleeve E counter-clockwise for reducing the
screwing depth
- always test out rst on a piece of scrap material
