Adjusting the screw length
► Pressing on the button [8-1] slides the
depth stop [8-2] in or out, so that it can be
adjusted to the required screw length.
The screw length setting is visible on the sides
of the depth stop [8-3].
Inserting collated screws
► Firstly, draw the belt of collated
screws [9-3] through the lower magazine
guide and then thread them into the car­
riage guide until a screw clicks into the
working position.
Make sure that the screws are correctly
positioned and secure by pulling gently on
the belt of collated screws.
Check that the first screw is lined up in the
screwing axis – see figure [9].
► Use the adjusting wheel [9-1] to set the re­
quired insertion depth.
► Clockwise rotation will countersink the
screws further in, while anticlockwise rota­
tion will countersink the screws further out.
The current setting can be read off the pre­
setting display [9-2]
Once the setting is made, drive in a test screw,
then, if necessary, correct the depth setting us­
ing the adjusting wheel [9-1]. Each setting ad­
justment shifts the stop by ± 0.1 mm.
We recommend screwdriving in the
automatic mode – see section
Removing collated screws
► Remove the collated screws by pulling up­
wards once (figure [10]
the transport lever at the same time as
pulling the collated screws downwards (fig­
ure [10]
).

10 Working instructions

– The magazine attachment must not be held
in the area of the depth stop.
– Each screwdriving process must be com­
pleted in full. Interrupting a screwdriving
process or applying pressure when screw­
driving can cause the tool to malfunction.
– The collated screws must only be changed
when the tool is at a standstill.
– The magazine attachment must under no
circumstances be used in any way other
than that described in this operating man­
ual.
– Use only original screwdriver bits.
– Use only original collated screws.
9.1 b).
) or by engaging
– The collated screws must always be kept in
their original packing.
– Always work at right angles to the board
that is being affixed.

10.1 Magazine attachment maintenance

The magazine attachment is essentially mainte­
nance-free. After an extensive period of use,
however, it is recommended to clean it with
compressed air.
The magazine attachment can be lubricated
around the area of the carriage guide – see fig­
ure [11b].
For the purposes of cleaning, the magazine at­
tachment can be dismantled as described be­
low.
Prior to cleaning, remove the collated screws
from the magazine as described in section "Re­
moving collated screws".
Take the magazine attachment out of the dry­
wall screwdriver.
Removing the carriage
► Push the depth stop [8-2] in to the housing
as far as it will go, until the locking but­
ton [11-1] is level with the marking for car­
riage removal [11-2] – see figure [11a].
► Press the locking button [11-1] and at the
same time pull the carriage out of the mag­
azine – see figure [11b].
► Push the button [8-1] and at the same time
unscrew the depth stop – see figure [11c].
Removing the transport lever
► Push the button [12-1] and at the same
time slide in the direction of the arrow – see
figure [12a].
► Remove the released button [12-1] (fig­
ure [12b]) together with the transport lev­
er [12-2] and the spring [12-3] from the
carriage (figure [12c]).
► Clean the individual parts, replace faulty or
worn parts and then reassemble in reverse
order.
When reassembling the transport lever in
the carriage, ensure the spring [12-3] is posi­
tioned correctly within the transport lever. In­
correct assembly can prevent the collated
screws from being transported properly.
