6. Commissioning
6.1 Attaching the magazine to the
screwdriver
- Remove the standard depth stop (1) and bit holder
(2) of the screwdriver (follow the screwdriver
operating instructions).
Note:
The bit holder (2) may be removed from the
screwdriver spindle if the sealing sleeve (7) is pulled
back.
- Insert the screwdriver bit (5) into the screwdriver
spindle (6) of the screwdriver (follow the
screwdriver operating instructions).
- Put the screwdriver magazine with the adapter (4)
over the screwdriver bit (5) onto the screwdriver.
Ensure that the anti-twist mechanism of both sides
interlink without force.
Remark:
The adapter (4) can be attached to the screwdriver
in 8 positions (each rotated in 45° increments). After
loosening the clamping screw (3), the screwdriver
magazine can be aligned parallel to the
screwdriver. Tighten the clamping screw (3) again.
6.2 Adjusting the depth stop (10)
The numbers on the depth stop (10) correspond to
the screw lengths (mm) that the tool is capable of
inserting.
The depth stop (10) must be adapted to the
length of the screws being inserted.
- Press the push-button (8) and keep pressed, set
the depth stop (10) to the screw length in
accordance with the screw length used by moving
the depth stop (10). The screw length can be read
off on the scale.
- Subsequently, the push-button must engage:
Release the push-button and move the depth stop
until the push-button engages.
6.3 Presetting the screw depth
The screw depth must be adjusted every time the
screw size changes and the position of the depth
stop (10) is modified.
- Push in the depth stop (10) up to the stop and hold
in this position.
- The tip of the screwdriver bit (5) should protrude
approx. 3 mm beyond the depth stop (10).
- If required, adjust the screw depth by turning the
knurled wheel (11):
• If the screwdriver bit is to protrude more: Turn the
knurled wheel (11) downwards.
• If the screwdriver is to protrude less: Turn the
knurled wheel (11) upwards.
Fine adjustment is performed after the tool is tested.
See section 7.3.
The magazine screw attachment is now ready for
operation.
7. Use
7.1 Inserting / Removing a screw strip (13)
Check whether the screw heads are resting on
the plastic strip otherwise the strip guide (14)
may become damaged and no longer function
correctly.
The screw strip (13) can be inserted from either
side.
- Push the screw strip (13) from below through the
belt guide (14).
- Then guide the holes on the strip over the tips of
the teeth on the ratchet wheels (12), until the
screw is located in the position in front of the
insertion position. The screwdriver bit (5) picks
up this screw when the depth stop (10) is pushed
down. For this reason, do not push the screw strip
(13) in too far to avoid wasting any screws.
To remove the screw strip (13), pull it forwards
through the tool. Do not pull back the screw
strip (13). This may cause serious damage.
7.2 Machine use
We recommend:
- Setting the screwdriver to clockwise rotation.
- Setting the screwdriver to run continuously.
- Hold the screwdriver with one hand. Hold the
handle (15) with the other hand if necessary.
- Hold the tool at right angles to the work surface.
The screw will not be inserted far enough if the tool
is held at an angle that deviates from 90° even
slightly.
- Rest the depth stop (10) on the screwdriver
magazine against the workpiece and apply
pressure.
- The screw moves to insertion position and is
screwed into the workpiece.
- If the coupling on the screwdriver audibly
disengages, remove the magazine screw
attachment from the workpiece.
7.3 Precision screw depth adjustment
The screw depth (or countersink depth) is adjusted
by turning the knurled wheel (11).
- Insert a screw to test the tool settings.
- If required, fine-tune the screw depth by turning
the knurled wheel (11):
• If the screw head is to protrude more: Turn the
knurled wheel upwards.
• If the screw head is to protrude less: Turn the
knurled wheel downwards.
7.4 Changing the screwdriver bit (5)
Always use genuine Metabo screwdriver bits (see
chapter 10. Accessories).
