Your tool is equipped with a variable speed
trigger switch. The tool can be turned "ON" or
"OFF" by squeezing or releasing the trigger.
The speed can be adjusted from the minimum
to maximum nameplate RPM by the pressure
you apply to the trigger. Apply more pressure
to increase the speed and release pressure to
decrease speed (Fig. 1).

PRESSURE CONTROLLED CLUTCH
This tool is equipped with a clutch that, when
combined with the Posi-Lok nose piece, stops
the screw at the desired depth and prevents
the screw head from becoming stripped or
breaking the bit tip.
DEPTH CONTROL
The depth control should be adjusted so that
the drywall screw is set slightly below the
drywall surface.
DEPTH ADjUSTMENT
Your driver will continue to drive as long as
enough pressure is applied to the bit to keep
the clutch engaged. The nose piece, upon
contacting the work, prevents further pressure
on the bit. Driving then stops regardless of
pressure continued by the operator.
1. Rotate the depth adjusting sleeve until the
nose piece reaches the desired position.
2. Each click of the depth adjusting sleeve
equals a 1/64 inch change in depth. One full
360 degree turn equals 1/16 inch (Fig. 8).
3. Before beginning, always test-drive a sample
screw into a piece of scrap installation
material to check desired depth setting.
