How to Change a Screw Using a Ryobi Drill

1. Prepare the tool 

• Remove the battery from the drill. 
• Check the bit: use a screwdriver bit that matches the screw head (e.g. Phillips, flathead). 
• Insert the bit into the keyless chuck and tighten it securely by hand. 
• Ensure the battery is charged and properly inserted into the drill driver.
   

2. Set the direction 

• Locate the direction of rotation selector, which is positioned above the trigger. 
• Push it to the reverse position (often marked with an arrow pointing away from the chuck).
   

3. Adjust speed and torque 

• Rotate the torque adjustment ring to a medium or high torque setting to ensure enough force to loosen the screw.
   

4. Remove the screw 

• Gently squeeze the variable speed trigger to start the drill. 
• Apply steady pressure in line with the screw. 
• Once the screw loosens, reduce speed and remove it completely.
   

5. After removal 

• Release the trigger. 
• Switch the direction selector back to forward if needed. 
• Remove the bit and battery. Store the tool safely.
