Cleaning & Maintenance; Environmental Protection; Technical Specifications - Metabo SM 5-55 Manual Original

use a Pozidriv screwdriver bit.
e) If you are unable to insert screws to the required
depth, adjust the adjusting ring (9) until the
screw depth is correct.
f) Make sure that the screwdriver bit is attached
correctly (read the screwdriver Operating
Instructions). There should be no gap between
the adapter (2) and the screwdriver casing.
g) If you notice that the screw strip (11) is not
being fed in correctly (screws do not appear or
are missing), make sure that you push back the
depth stop (7) all the way and then move a suffi-
cient distance from the workpiece to allow the
depth stop to return to its original position.
The screwdriver magazine will only fill correctly
if the depth stop is pushed back completely. Do
not set the tool down on the depth stop (7) as
this may feed in screws unintentionally.
h) If you are unable to insert the sliding piece (6)
fully into the casing, check that the two screws
(8) are screwed in all the way.
i) Hold the tool at right angles to the work surface.
The screw will not be inserted deep enough if
the tool is held at an angle that deviates from
90° even slightly.
