9.1 Care of the magazine
NOTE
Dirt and dust (especially from plaster) may have an ad-
verse effect on operation of the magazine.
CAUTION
Do not, under any circumstances, lubricate the
magazine with mineral oil / grease or graphite
sprays. This would increase the risk of malfunctions.
Clean the magazine simply by blowing out the dirt and
dust with compressed air.

NOTE The bit clicks into position.
3. Push the magazine onto the screwdriver in the de-
sired working position until it is heard to engage.
NOTE The magazine can be engaged on the tool in
various positions (every 15°).
NOTE Check to ensure that the screwdriver is set
to "forward" rotation.
3. Drive a screw to test the screwdriving depth setting.
Readjust the setting if necessary.
NOTE Each audible click of the thumbwheel corres-
ponds to an adjustment of 0.2 mm (0.008 inch).
