      If the bit slips off the screw or the screw is driven at an angle with your Senco Power Screwdriver, it could be because the tool is slid forward during the drive, the tool is misaligned, or the bit guide has worn. Hold the tool firmly while driving. You can return the tool to an authorized SENCO service representative or replace the slide body assembly.

      If a bit will not install in your Senco Power Screwdriver, it might not be properly inserted into the drive shaft or it might not be a Senco bit. Drop the bit straight into the opening, rotate it, and push hard. Ensure you are using a Senco bit.
