Application Guidelines

• Use a PH2 or PZ2 driver bit; an ill‑fitting bit will damage the head and slip
• Drive at a true right angle to the surface; angled entry weakens the connection and may cause breakage
• Ensure material thickness exceeds screw length by at least 5–7 mm to prevent rear breakthrough
• Drill a pilot hole in solid hardwood — recommended to reduce breakage risk
• Reduce torque as the screw nears full seating; avoid splitting the surface or snapping the head
• Select stainless steel screws for permanent outdoor exposure or areas in direct contact with water
• Store in dry, moisture‑free conditions; keep the lid sealed once opened
