1. The collated screw magazine is designed
to only be used with the MASTERFORCE
®
241-0338 drywall screw gun.
2. Observe all operating instructions and
safety regulations contained in the manual
for the MASTERFORCE
®
241-0338 drywall
screw gun.
3. Before use, ensure that the magazine is
properly attached to the power tool.
4. Avoid body contact with grounded (or
earthed) surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body
is grounded.
5. Detach 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.
6. When driving screws, never reach into
the magazine. Keep hands clear of the
advancing mechanism and the spot where
the screw is being driven.
7. Do not use the magazine as a gripping
surface.
8. 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.
9. Only insert screw strips when the screw
gun is turned off and the trigger switch is
locked.

OPERATION
This collated screw magazine is designed
for screws that are 1’’– 2-1/8’’ (25–54 mm)
long. Failure to set the correct screw
length can cause screws to not be driven
accurately which can result in the failure
to advance the next screw or screws not
being screwed-in properly.
The shoe has the specic length marks for
the most common screw lengths. The arrow
points at the length mark indicating the
current screw length (FIG. 4a). To set up the
magazine for a specic screw length:
1. Press the screw-length adjustment
button.
2. While the screw-length adjustment
button is depressed, pull the shoe out or
push it into the magazine until the arrow
is aligned with the desired length mark.
3. Release the locking button. Make sure
that the locking pin has fully seated in
the pin slot.
4. Use the screw-in depth dial to set the
desired screw-in depth. Turn the dial
up for driving the screws deeper into
the workpiece, or down to allow more
of the screw head to stick out from the
workpiece. The actual setting position is
shown in the screw-in depth indicator.
5. Upon setting, drive some screws for
testing and use the dial to adjust the
depth, if required.
