General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings

and all instructions. Failure to follow

the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

WARNING! Read all safety warnings

and all instructions provided with your
screwdriver (DFC620 or DCF621).
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/ or serious injury.

Additional Specifi c Safety Rules for
Collated Magazine Attachment

• The collated magazine is to only be used with
the DEWALT DCF620 or DCF621 screwdriver.

• Observe all operating instructions and safety
regulations contained in the manual for the
screwdriver the magazine accessory is used
with.

• Before use, ensure that the magazine accessory
is properly attached to the tool.

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.

• When driving screws, never reach into the
magazine accessory. Keep hands clear of the
advancing mechanism and the spot where the
screw is being driven.

• Do not use the magazine accessory as a
gripping surface.

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the
fastener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could
give the operator an electric shock.

• Use only screw strips that are suitable to this
magazine. Only insert screw strips when the
screwdriver power is off and the trigger is
locked.

This magazine is designed for 25– 57mm (1"– 2¼")
screw lengths. Failure to set the correct screw
length can cause screws to not be driven accurately
which can result in the failure to advance to the next
screw or screws not being driven properly. The shoe
has marked specific slots (l) for each of the most
common screws, however this attachment can still
drive any size screw between 25– 57mm (1"– 2¼").
To accommodate for less common screws adjust to
the next longest slot.

CAUTION: Do not adjust while a screw

strip is in the magazine.

1. Slide screw length adjustment tab(b) to the left.

2. Holding the screw length adjustment tab in
place, adjust the shoe(e) to the desired length.

NOTICE: Use only screw strips that are

suitable to this magazine. Only insert
screw strips when the screwdriver
power is off and the trigger is locked.

Proper use of collated strips will reduce the risk
of injury, reduce jams and prevents screws from
damaging work piece. For best performance use
new, undamaged strips free of debris.

1. Take a collated strip, holding the plastic portion,
and feed from the bottom of the screw guide
(a) and into the bottom of the advancing
mechanism(d).

2. Continue feeding the strip until the first screw is
one slot below the driver bit.

Turn fine depth adjustment (c) anti-clockwise (as
viewed from behind the tool) to make the screw
head stop raised from the work piece.

Turn fine depth adjustment (c) clockwise to make the
screw head stop deeper into the work piece.

There is a window to show where in the adjustment
range the tool is. When the slider is furthest from
the tool the screw head will stop in the most raised
position. When the slider is closest to the screw
driver tool the screw head will stop in its deepest
position.

Driving Screws (fi g. 1)

1. Before driving screws, ensure screwdriver drive
direction is switched to forward position.

NOTE: Always hold the screwdriver

perpendicular to work piece.

2. With the magazine installed on the screwdriver,
position shoe (e) on work piece in location
where screw is to be driven.

3. Switch the screwdriver on by holding the trigger
in the on position. Continue to hold trigger or
engage the trigger lock-on.

4. Apply pressure against work piece. This will
advance screw into alignment with screwdriver
bit.

5. Continue to apply consistent pressure until
screw is driven in completely and screwdriver
clutches disengage.

6. Lift screwdriver from workpiece.
