4. Упутство за употребу

Follow these steps for proper installation of the E1B1414B self-drilling metal screws:

1. Припремите радно подручје: Ensure the fastening area is clean and free of obstructions. Mark the desired fastening points if precision is required.
2. Attach the Bit: Insert the 3/8-inch hex driver bit into your power drill and secure it.
3. Поставите вијак: Place the E1B1414B screw onto the hex driver bit. The screw should sit firmly on the bit.
4. Почните са бушењем: Position the tip of the screw directly onto the metal surface at the desired fastening point. Apply firm, consistent pressure to the drill.
5. Заврните вијак: Begin drilling at a moderate speed. The drill point will first penetrate the metal, then the threads will engage. Continue driving until the hex head is flush with the surface of the material, or until the desired clamping force is achieved. Avoid over-tightening, which can strip the threads or damage the material.
6. Inspect the Fastening: After installation, visually inspect the screw to ensure it is properly seated and secure.
