Auto-Feed Screw Driving System
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Thank you for purchasing a Quik Drive® product. You have made an excellent decision. Quik Drive is the undisputed leader of auto-feed screw driving systems.You have joined the large and fast growing number of successful builders and contractors who are giving their customers the superior holding power of screws at speeds they never dreamed possibl e.
Quik Drive® tools have earned a reputation for being reliable and easy to use. They are exceptionally easy to use but proper operating procedures are NECESSARY for maximum speed and eff i c i e n c y. Please take a few minutes to read both the safety instructions below and the operational guide for your tool on the following pages.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury, including the following:
WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL QUIK DRIVE® REPLACEMENT PARTS.
1. POLARIZED PLUG. If your screwgun has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other) it will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug, if it still does not fit, contact a qualified elec­trician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
2. KEEP WORK AREACLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
3. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t expose power tools to rain. Don’t use
power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep area well lit. Avoid chemical or cor­rosive environment. Do not use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
4. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For
example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
5. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord. All
visitors should be kept away from work area.
6. STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, and high or
locked-up place - out of reach of children.
7. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
intended.
8. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force a small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy
duty tool. Use the tool for it’s intended purpose only. For example; don’t use a cir­cular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
9. DO NOT ALTER THE TOOL Don’t remove any parts from the tool.
10. DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Loose clothing, draw
strings and jewelry can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair cover­ing to contain long hair.
11. USE SAFETY GLASSES. Wear safety glasses or goggles while operating power tools.
Also face or dust mask if operation creates dust.
12. DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from recep-
tacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Have damaged or worn power cord and strain reliever replaced immediately. Do not attempt to repair power cord.
13. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand
and it frees both hands to operate tool.
14. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS when not in use, before servicing, and when changing acces-
sories.
16. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer per-
formance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service facil­i t y. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged.
17. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys
and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
18. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Do not carry a tool with finger on switch. Be sure
switch is off when plugging in.
19. EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.IF IN DOUBTUSE NEXTHEAVIER GAUGE. A smaller number indicates a heavier gauge.
20. OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension
cords marked “Suitable for use with outdoor appliances - store indoors when not in use”.
21. STAY ALERT.Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool
when you are tired.
22. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that
is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate proper­ly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, bind­ing of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be proper­ly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicat­ed elsewhere in this instruction manual.
23. REPAIRING TOOL. Any repairs to electric tools should only be performed by qual-
ified personnel. To keep your Quik Drive operating most efficiently only use orig ­inal Quik Drive parts for repair.

AUTO-FEED SCREW SYSTEMS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ATTACHING THE QD2000 TO A SCREWGUN.
A. Place the hex end of the drive shaft into the hex recess of the screw-
gun. Slide the push the clamp lever down until just snug. Make sure the nose or adap­tor is fully inserted into the Driver comfortable to you. NOTE: The Coupling Lock Screw (Fig. 5) must be backed out to insert the screwgun nose and retightened to maintain a firm connection.
ADJUSTING THE LOCKING LEVER
Tension on the locking lever is adjusted by turning the lever clockwise for a tighter grip and counterclockwise to loosen the grip. Adjust until just snug. Do not over-tighten.
ADDING THE OPTIONAL EXTENSION
The extension is optional and can be added at any time. To install the extension, remove the up the clamping lever ( Fig 1) and pulling them apart.
First, attach the tab on the extension with the raised area on the unit (Fig. 1), slide them together and twist until the arrow on the groove on the extension are aligned (Fig. 2). Tighten the clamp lever on the unit as explained above. NOTE: The Coupling Lock Screw (Fig. 5) must be backed out to insert the extension.
Next, slide the extension collar over the nose (adaptor) of the screw­gun. (The male hex end of the extension drive shaft fits in the screwgun) Align the Locking Tabs as shown at right (Fig. 3), slide together and turn the Extension until it is locked. Position the handle clamp over the exten­sion collar and hand tighten (Fig 4). Make sure all connections are snug and fully inserted. TIP: If the extension will not slip completely onto the screwgun it is often because the extension drive shaft is not aligned with the screwgun receptacle. The easy fix is to run the screwgun briefly as you push it into the extension.

LOADING SCREWS
STRIP SCREWS - Hold the pointing forward. Slide the screw clip into the loading channel under the nosepiece. When it clicks in place you are ready to drive screws. NOTE: The screw clip only works in one direction. Insert the pointed end of the strip.
To unload an unfinished clip or clear a jammed screw, pull down Screw Release Tab (Fig. 5) located just above the Feed Pawl Carrier.
DRIVING SCREWS
After the tool is loaded and plugged in you are ready to drive screws. Turn on the screwgun and push down firmly maintaining constant down pressure until the screw is fully countersunk. Any hesitation or reduction in down pressure will lead to bit cam-out. However, do not force the screws. Keep the bit engaged in the screw and let the screw pull itself down. If the clutch does not disengage, adjust the depth adjusting wheel for less depth.
Lift the tool enough to relieve ALL down pressure, allowing the mech­anism to complete a full stroke before starting to drive another screw. The tool must complete a full stroke to advance screws properly.

ADJUST THE ALIGNMENT TO SUIT YOUR WORKING STYLE
As with any tool, optimum performance with the Quik Drive System comes with experience. Due to differences in working techniques, different users will get different levels of performance from it. The System’s design allows a variety of driving positions that can enhance
Feed Pawl Carrier
performance and allow for different working styles.
The most obvious arrangement is to align the feed Driver
with the screwgun so the screw clip is following the workflow - in other words, sticks out behind the tool. This is fine as long as the screws are not dragged across the work surface when moving forward. Dragging the screws can interfere with the tool’s fastener advancing mechanism and can cause it to jam.
Many users have found that when the
Auto-feed Driver is positioned on the extension so that the loaded screw clip extends away from their body ( at 90º to the work flow) they can move the tool more freely. In this position the screws are not likely to drag during for­ward movement and the guide tube provides maximum support for the fastener. This additional support will provide top performance with the greatest variance in working styles.
To change the alignment, loosen the Clamping Handle, rotate the
extension and
Auto-feed Driver
to the desired position and retighten
the handle.
Auto-
Turning the tool 90˚ to workflow direction enhances ability to move forward quickly without dragging screw clip.

OTHER HANDY ACCESSORIES
The QuikDraw Quiver is an important component in the Quik Drive System. Designed to hold up to 500 fasteners, it reduces trips back to the box while keeping weight off the tool. (A worker using a competi­tive coil style tool will lift approximately 4,500 pounds per hour more than if using a Quik Drive clip fed tool.)
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
The precise calibrated depth control is the only adjustment necessary. Once set it provides consistent countersink with all screws driven.
If the depth is properly adjusted, the clutch will disengage when the

1. Remove screws from the tool.
2. Depress nosepiece until bit tip protrudes. (fig A)
3. Use the bit wrench to rotate the drive shaft until the slot shows.(fig B)
4. Insert hooked end of bit wrench into slot in drive shaft.
5. Pry bit tip out by pivoting the wrench. The tip will disengage. (fig C)
INSTALL NEW BIT
1. Place new bit in end of drive shaft and press down with the bit wrench or against a hard object until the bit snaps in place.
NOTE: When installing a new bit make sure bit is aligned with the hex receptacle on the drive shaft.
screw is slightly countersunk. When the depth is set too deep excessive torque is created as the screw penetrates deeper, resulting in rapid bit wear, stripping, and even broken screws.
To set the depth control, simply rotate the adjusting wheel located on top of the tool. (Fig. 5) Turning the wheel moves the adjusting rod in or out Try a few screws in an inconspicuous place until proper depth is set. The 6/32 x 1/4” set screw beside the Depth Adjustment Wheel is loosened to adjust depth and tightened to lock the adjustment wheel.
TO DETERMINE CORRECT COUNTERSINK
Drive a screw completely and keep the bit engaged in the screw by maintaining down pressure on the tool with the motor running. Lean down and look at the drive shaft. It should not be turning. If it is, the clutch has not disengaged and the screw has stripped the material. When the tool is adjusted correctly the clutch will disengage (you can hear it disengage with a grunting sound) and the drive shaft will stop turning just as the screw becomes flush or slightly countersunk - depending on the depth setting. Do not reduce down pressure until you hear the clutch disengage. Once the adjustment is made all screws will consistently drive to the same depth.
CHANGING THE BIT
To replace a worn bit, insert the hooked end of the bit wrench into the slot on the side of the drive shaft and pry out the old bit (see figure A­C). Place the new Quik Release bit into the drive shaft, making sure that the hex end of the bit matches the hex receptacle on the drive shaft, (if
the bit is forced to seat without matching the male and female hex parts the drive shaft can be damaged) and seat it fully by pushing against a
hard surface such as the bit wrench until the bit snaps into place. Insert the end of the bit in the hole in the bit wrench to prevent slipping as you press the bit in place.
When replacing the nosepiece be sure the Feed Lever fits in the slot in the Feed Pawl.
TO CURE EXCESSIVE BIT WEAR OR CAM-OUT
1.) Replace the bit and try more down pressure when the tool is being
activated.
2.) Be sure you are using the correct bit for the screws (Galvanized screws require a black bit, all other square drive screws require a grey bit, while some Quik Drive Screws have a phillips recess).
3.) See Driving Screws, above.
4.) Look to see if the clutch is disengaging properly on the screwgun. If the bit turns as soon as the screwgun is turned on (and the tool is not depressed) or continues to spin after the screw is driven, there is a prob­lem. The clutch in the screwgun is not disengaging properly. Change the depth adjustment for less depth. If the clutch still won’t disengage check for smooth movement of the clutch mechanism. The clutch in the screwgun may be worn and need repair.
MAINTENANCE & LUBRICATION
The
Auto-feed Drivers
are designed with a minimum of moving parts for ease of operation and low maintenance. As with any mechanism using interacting, moving parts, a build-up of dirt can hinder perform­ance. Occasional cleaning of any drywall dust, sawdust or dirt from the tool is needed to keep it operating smoothly.
Also, periodically check the cam slot and remove any residue or dirt
accumulation.
N o r m a l l y, no lubrication is needed and LIQUID LUBRICANT
SHOULD NEVER BE USED. Dry lubricant is okay if desired.
REMOVE OR CHANGE NOSEPIECE
The nosepiece installed at the factory drives screws 1 1/4” to 2 1/2” in length. An additional nosepiece is included for driving 3” screws.
1. Grip the nosepiece to prevent it from ejecting forcefully.
2. Use the hooked end of the bit wrench to pry the nosepiece pin up about 1/8” until the shoulder is visible and the nosepiece is released. Do not try to remove the pin completely. (See Fig. 8)

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
Learning to use the Quik Drive system is very easy. As with any power tool, there are a few basic things to remember.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Screws won’t drive. They spin for a second and then lay over on their side. Little or no penetration.
Screws won’t drive completely. They go down about half way and then the bit spins out.
Screws won’t drive completely. They are almost completely driven but won’t countersink completely.
Screws don’t advance properly causing tool to jam.
•Make sure the screwgun is not in reverse.
•Check to be sure you are using the correct bit for the type of screws.
•Check for a worn bit. If this happens frequently see the section titled TO CURE EXCESSIVE BIT WEAR OR CAM-OUT in this manual.
•Check the depth adjustment on the driving unit. Reset if necessary.
•You may have missed the substrate you are fastening to.
Example: In flooring this will occur if you miss the floor joist.
•Be sure all components are connected correctly - see instructions
included in this manual.
•Use only Quik Drive brand collated screws.
•Be sure the screw clip is inserted correctly - pointed end first.
•Lift the tool completely off the work surface after driving each screw.
•Be careful not to drag the screws on the work surface as you move to the next position.
•If you have just changed the nosepiece, be sure the Feed Lever is
inserted in the Feed Lever Slot.
