Problem	Solution
Screws won't drive. They spin for a second and then lay over on their side. Little or no penetration.	Make sure the screwgun is not in reverse.
Screws won't drive completely. They go down about half way and then the bit spins out.	Check to be sure you are using the correct bit for the type of screws. Check for bit wear. It may be time to install a new bit. Push harder when driving. Make sure the screwgun is not in reverse.
Screws won't drive completely. They are almost completely driven but won't countersink completely.	Check the depth adjustment on the driving unit. Reset if necessary. You may have missed the substrate you are fastening to. Be sure all components are connected correctly - see instructions included in the operating instructions (PDF).
Screws don't advance properly causing tool to jam.	Use only PAM brand collated screws. Be sure the screw strip is inserted correctly. Lift the tool completely off the work surface after driving each screw. Be sure the feed gear assembly in intact and feed lever is advancing the screw strip.
