CAUTION - Never change the direction of bit rotation while the motor is running. To
do so could damage the motor and void warranty. Always turn the tool off before
changing the direction of bit rotation.
PREPARATION BEFORE USE
TOOL PREPARATION BEFORE USE:
(a) Use An Appropriate Power Supply - The power source should conform to the
specifications stated on the nameplate. A direct current (DC) power supply can
damage the unit and cause injury. Before connecting the FD/FLVL41 to a power source,
ensure the trigger switch is in the "off" position. The motor will start automatically if
the plug is connected to a socket with the switch in the "on" position. Pull the trigger
switch to start the unit and release it to stop. When releasing the switch, always
check that it returns to it's former position.
(b) Installing The Magazine - Push the magazine onto the magazine holder unti! it
clicks firmly into position. See figure 4. The magazine is inserted onto the tool from
the motor end in the direction of the feeding mechanism. The magazine may be used
as a stand while the tool is not in use. To remove the magazine, press the clamp plate
on the side of the magazine and remove it from the magazine holder.
(c) Magazine Inner Adjustment - The magazine inner must be adjusted depending
upon the length of fastener to be driven. To make this adjustment open the magazine
cover by pulling the latch as in figure 5. To remove the inner magazine simply
depress the two tabs together and lift as in figure 6. This figure shows the proper

(d) Insertion And Removat Of The Bit - Always use a no. 2 type bit of 184mm (7-
1/4") in length. The bit type should be the same as the type of screws being driven.
For example, if the screws have a phillips head recess, then a phillips bit must be
used. If the screws have a square recess then a square bit must be used. All Muro
bits are double ended. When one bit tip becomes worn the bit can be turned over to
use the other end before replacing completely.
Inserting the bit - Depress the feeder block about 1° in the 'A' direction as shown in
figure 8. Pass the bit through the feeder block center hole, through the depth
adjuster dial and align with the hexagonal sleeve hole. Release feeder block. Depress
the locking sleeve in the ‘A’ direction and slide the bit fully into the hole. Release the
locking sleeve to hold the bit in place. Check that the bit is fully secured.
Removing the bit - Depress the locking sleeve in the 'A' direction and slide bit
forward as far as possible and out of the locking sleeve. Then depress feeder block
about 1" in the ‘A’ direction and slide the bit completely out of the tool.
NOTE: Do not attempt to remove the bit by force using pliers or other tools.
Also, to prevent any chance of injury during bit replacement, ensure the tool's
switch is off and the plug is disconnected from the power source prior to bit
replacement.
