/32" beyond end of depth stop.
Do not push in nutsetter as this will engage internal drive.
3. Release adjusting collar being sure that the depressions in the collar
engage the projections on the clutch housing.
4. Drive a test fastener in a piece of scrap material identical to that to be
used. Examine results of drive and make additional depth stop adjustment if
required as follows:
a) To increase depth of drive, repeat STEP 1 and turn depth stop so that
end of bit extends further from end of depth stop.
b) To decrease depth of drive, repeat STEP 1 and turn depth stop so that
end of bit is closer to end of depth stop. Each
1
/8 turn of the adjusting
collar results in .010" change in depth of drive.
5. Repeat STEPS 3 and 4 until desired result is obtained.
